At the last Geneva Motor Show, Italian designers from the Pininfarina studio introduced to the mass audience the concept of a hybrid “four-door” H600, the appearance of which they once hired to develop the leadership of the Hong Kong company Hybrid KineticGroup. Initially, it was assumed that this car is just another creative exercise, nothing more, however, there was evidence that the parent company is full of determination and will promote the model as a "killer" Tesla Model S. Hybrid Kinetic Group (HKG) was founded 8 years ago by billionaire from Celestial Yun Benjamin Jung, by the way, the founding father of Brilliance. The company focuses exclusively on environmental transport and by 2010 it is going to improve the concept H600 sedan to the "serial" state. The engineers themselves, and the HKG management call the sedan an electric car, but there is a gas turbine generator on board the car, so, to be honest, this is not an electric car, but hybrid car. Technical details about the power unit H600 little is known yet. But what is known is impressive. The power plant consists of several electric motors that can demonstrate a combined power of six hundred kilowatts, or eight hundred and fifteen horsepower. On one charge, the hybrid sedan can go more than a thousand kilometers. To the standard hundred kilometers per hour, the car accelerates in 2.9 seconds, and at the limit of its capabilities, the car can fly at a speed of a quarter thousand kilometers per hour.
The car body is made of aviation aluminum, therefore, despite its considerable size: 5 m 20 cm x 2 m x 1 m 49.4 cm - the car weighs only 1. 870 tons. Salon is made in the futuristic tradition. Engineers say that the interior of the production car will be ninety percent repeat the interior of the concept: they have worked hard and almost nothing is going to redo. At first, the car will be assembled in Italy, at the Pininfarina factories. Then the production will move to China. Hybrid Kinetic is not going to release a novelty in millions of copies. For five to ten years, it is planned to release about two hundred thousand ecological sedans.

Here the novelty will appear closer to the end of 2019. At the Shanghai Motor Show, which starts in April, startups will present two more similar to H600 models. In general, today in the list of direct competitors Tesla begin to see themselves many startups. But this little fits with the laws of the market, one of which is clearly violated by such activity. It is about supply and demand. In this case, the opposite is true. Ecological cars are cosmically expensive, for this reason they are extremely few, and there are too many people who want to produce something. The electric car Lucid Air, Faraday Future FF91, NioEve and FiskerEMoion will compete in this segment.
