At Auto China 2018 a full range of electric vehicles developed by Pininfarina


Three electric concept cars presented with partner Hybrid Kinetic Group: the #h500 saloon, the #k350 #suv and the GT Gran Turismo Turin, 25 April 2018 – #pininfarina and Hybrid Kinetic Group add new members to the family of electric cars born out of their collaboration at the #auto #china 2018 in Beijing, confirming their joint effort to develop clean energy vehicles while at the same time continuing to refine the identity of Hong Kong's high-tech brand. World premiere for two new models, the #h500 saloon and the 4-seater #k350 #suv, on display alongside the HK GT gran turismo, which was presented a few weeks ago at the Geneva Motor Show. The three cars, which share a clear, straightforward #design language in perfect #pininfarina style, are all equipped with the cutting-edge technology developed by HK for the traction system, with battery, electric motors with a power rating of over 300 kW, control unit and a range extender that enables a range of over 1000 km to be achieved. The three models are capable of reaching a top speed of 250 kph and acceleration from 0 to 100 kph in 4.5 seconds (the saloon) and 4.7 seconds (the SUV). It is exactly this advanced technology, together with better ergonomics and sophisticated materials, that embody the philosophy of the Hybrid Kinetic Group. The first of the two new #pininfarina products for Beijing is the #h500 electric saloon that combines elegance and sportiness, pure forms and sophisticated details, designed for a dynamic lifestyle. The body is characterised by inclined ribbing that traverses the vehicle, giving tension and lightness and defining full, sober volumes. The front grille, now a signature HK feature, has even more character, while the two side air intakes emphasise the sporty, youthful positioning. The interior, featuring four single units like four comfortably protective cocoons, is a multimedia experience, with adjustable touch screens for both front and rear passengers, as well as a touchscreen that slides on the door panels making it easier to share entertainment. The #k350, on the other hand, is the most compact #suv in the range. Its proportions are perfect, its volumes lie well on the wheels and its “body” is sturdily athletic. With the #k350, the evolution of the codes and DNA created by #pininfarina for HK points the product in the direction of a wider, certainly young demographic, and an all-round use of the vehicle due to a #design in which refinement and elegance coexist naturally with strength and sturdiness. The extremely refined seats become the fulcrum of the interior, bringing the passengers into contact both emotionally and architecturally and creating a light structure that shapes the space around it. Finally, the HK GT, fresh from the critical acclaim it recorded at the Geneva Motor Show, is an elegant, refined and comfortable special car that skilfully combines pure #design with environmentally friendly technology. And with a strong personality, characterised by the gullwing door opening that makes it unique and outstanding in the GT panorama. The collaboration between #pininfarina and HK has already resulted in the H600 luxury saloon presented at the Geneva Motor Show 2017 and the K550 5-seater and K750 7-seater SUVs presented at the Shanghai Motor Show 2017. “Hybrid Kinetic Group is a sound, crucial partner for Pininfarina”, explains CEO Silvio Pietro Angori. “We are creating a new range of electric vehicles together and preparing the way for their commercial debut with the presentation of the first Hybrid Kinetic produced car for the international market. The three models presented in Beijing are just another step forward in a long-term and fruitful relationship”.
