Pininfarina’s latest show car, and the fourth of its
kind designed for Hybrid Kinetic Group, has touched down in Geneva, for its
world premiere.
It’s called HK GT, sports a very elegant styling,
with a long, sculpted bonnet, a slightly curved line that flows to the rear,
and chromed slats, in the grille, said to “open like petals to frame the
high-tech headlights”.
The new Pininfarina HK GT Concept may remind us of
the Mercedes-AMG GT family, but unlike the German sports car, it has seating for four.
Ingress and egress are facilitated by the gullwing
doors, and once inside, you will notice a very clean and flowing layout.
There’s a gigantic screen that slides out of the dashboard, serving as the
infotainment system, another one on the tunnel that allows passengers to access
different functions, and a digital screen behind the steering wheel.
Four permanent magnet motors, with two-speed
transmission, and a microturbine range extender / fuel-cell range extender,
power the gorgeous show car, backed up by a 38kWh battery pack. The maximum
output is 1,072 hp in old money, and this translates into a
0-100 km/h acceleration that takes only 2.7s ec. Yes, that’s 0.2 sec
faster than a Lamborghini Huracan Performante! Top speed is 350 km/h,
which is also quicker than the Italian supercar.
The 4,980 mm long, 2,000 mm wide,
and 1,365 mm tall study, with a 2,975 mm wheelbase, can travel
for “over” 160 km on electricity alone, according to Pininfarina.
However, with the range extender, the HK GT will stop for fuel after 1,000 km.
