Italian design house will showcase the H600 concept with Hong Kong-based Hybrid Kinetic Group

The Pininfarina H600 has been previewed ahead of its reveal at the Geneva motor show with the Hybrid Kinetic Group.

The Italian design house, which is thought to be plotting a production EV sports car, has designed and manufactured the concept for the Hong Kong-based electric vehicle (EV) company as part of a new technical collaboration, which is worth over £55 million.

No technical information has been released, but an electric or petrol-electric drivetrain is expected. The inclusion of a large front grille, featuring 10 curving slats and extends out into slim headlights, suggests the latter is likely.

An image of the car’s dashboard shows a central infotainment touchscreen, digital instrument display cluster and flat-bottomed steering wheel. The cabin looks to feature both leather and wood trim.

Pininfarina CEO Silvio Pietro Angori said "Hybrid Kinetic has chosen to cooperate with the Pininfarina Group thanks to the set of skills and technologies in the field of sustainable mobility that we have developed over several years.
