Less than a month ago, Pininfarina provided our first glimpse at a new concept car it has designed for the Hybrid Kinetic Group. Now it’s released a new image.
Set to debut next week at the Geneva Motor Show, the HK GT will be the fourth such concept the Italian design house has cooked up for the Hong Kong-based automotive startup.
We previously saw the fruits of their collaboration in the forms of the H600 sedan and K550 and K750 sport-utility vehicles. The new HK GT, however, looks poised to adopt an altogether more elegant form.
As we can see from this more revealing image, the concept will feature giant gull-wing doors, opening upwards and slightly to the rear to reveal a four-seat cabin with no B-pillars to impede ingress and egress.
Those big fancy doors are just one element of the design that, as you can see, will embrace Pininfarina’s signature elegant styling. A long bonnet leads to a swept-back greenhouse that looks to make something like the Porsche Panamera look boxy by comparison. LED lighting appears to feature at both ends, with the oversized and stylized wheels you’d expect of a design study like this one.
As you also might expect from the commissioning company’s name, the vehicle is also slated to incorporate a hybrid powertrain. A plug-in hybrid, at that, with electric motors backed up by an internal-combustion range extender.
At this point, that’s all we know about this concept. But it will be presented for the first time in full on Pininfarina’s show stand at the Geneva Palexpo at 2:15 pm local time on March 6 – and in the meantime maybe we’ll get more solid info concerning the Italian design studio’s latest creation.
