As well as the new EF7 racing car, created in partnership with Brazilian Formula 1 champion and Indy 500 winner Emerson Fittipaldi, Italian design house Pininfarina unveiled the luxury H600 hybrid saloon concept at this week’s Geneva motor show.
Previewing a possible rival to the Tesla Model S, the concept car has been designed and manufactured by Pininfarina as part of a £56 million deal signed with Chinese electric-car startup Hybrid Kinetic Group, which was previously called HK Motors. The company is currently headed by Yung Benjamin Yeung, a billionaire who also founded Brilliance China Automotive.
The 5.2-metre-long design study incorporates an 800 bhp plus hybrid powertrain that utilises a turbine to drive a generator which charges the battery pack; a technology not too dissimilar to that used by the ‘Ren’ supercar which made its production debut also in Geneva this week – and which also hails from China.
The H600 is technically classified as a Range Extended Electric Vehicle, or REEV for short, and its 60kW micro turbine electric generator is claimed to run on a variety of fuels, as well as being capable of charging the 30 kwh graphene-enhanced battery “anywhere and anytime”. Doing away with the need for any external charging facilities, the car effectively mitigates the problem associated with “range anxiety” as a result.
Performance-wise, the concept is claimed to sprint from 0 to 62 mph in 2.9 seconds, while delivering a range of over 621 miles.
Finished in a warm grey metallic, design details, meanwhile, include a chromed boomerang-shaped front grille and rear lights composed of a luminous stripe radiating from the logo towards the outer flanks.
Additional elements such as the panoramic sunroof, the extensive use of veneered wood and natural leather in the “lounge-like” interior cabin, together with five large curved display screens and the unique clock set in the facia, are all meant to display a ‘premium’ feel, according to Pininfarina’s designers.
