The Pininfarina H600, a hybrid saloon concept, has been unveiled as part of a new technical collaboration with a Hong Kong-based electric vehicle firm called Hybrid Kinetic Group (HKG).

The H600 has a hybrid motor which employs a turbine as a range extender, in related technology as seen in the 2010 Jaguar C-X75 concept car. HKG wanted to create a breed of vehicles that use the innovative turbine hybrid technology along with luxurious and exclusive styling.

The large front grille of the saloon permits the required amount of air to the turbine and, Pininfarina says, "defines the aesthetic identity of the brand".

The interior features both leather and wood trim, with a dashboard that features a central infotainment touchscreen and a digital instrument display and a Flat-Bottomed steering wheel.

Pininfarina calls the interior as having the "layout of a lounge", and maintains that there is much more rear-seat space than is commonly found in the saloon segment.

Pininfarina, acquired by Mahindra & Mahindra in 2016, has also showcased its new EF7 track car at Geneva Motor Show, which was produced with Brazilian Formula 1 champion and Indy 500 winner Emerson Fittipaldi.
