Pininfarina H600 Hybrid Concept Revealed

Pininfarina debuted the H600 Concept at the 2017 Geneva auto show. Created in collaboration with Hong Kong–based electric vehicle manufacturer Hybrid Kinetic Group, the H600 is a hybrid luxury sports sedan concept that uses a microturbine generator as a range-extender and is claimed to make the jump from 0-62 mph (100 km/h) in only 2.9 seconds. Developed by HKG, a company largely known for electric bus development and electric vehicle battery design, the H600 drivetrain uses all-wheel drive with torque vectoring, two motors, a microturbine range extender, and an aluminum chassis. The car's empty weight is only 1,870 kg (4,123 pounds) and its top speed is 250 km/h (155 mph). Power delivery from the motors maxes out at over 600 kW (805 hp) and the car's weight distribution is very close to 50/50 at 52/48 front:rear. The H600 is a futuristic vision of sport driving in an eco-friendly package. Sadly, neither Pininfarina nor HKG have announced plans for production.
