Οι Ολλανδοί αδερφοί Huet Brothers σχεδίασαν ένα ρετρό σύγχρονο coupe αυτοκίνητο το οποίο θα το περάσουν στη παραγωγή. Ακόμη το αυτοκίνητο βρίσκεται σε φάση ανάπτυξης και μας υπόσχονται ότι προσφέρει τις ανέσεις και την αξιοπιστία ενός σύγχρονου αυτοκινήτου, διαθέτοντας ωστόσο το στυλ και την γοητεία του κλασσικού. Ζυγίζει μόλις 1.121 κιλά αφού είναι κατασκευασμένο αποκλειστικά από carbon και μηχανικά φορά είτε έναν 6-κύλινδρο σε σειρά 3.0-λίτρων κινητήρα απόδοσης 306 ίππων με 400 Nm ροπής, πιθανώς προερχόμενο από την BMW,είτε έναν 2.0-λιτρο πετρελαίου απόδοσης 204 ίππων με 400 Nm ροπής.
Οι κινητήρες συνδυάζονται με ένα 6-τάχυτο μηχανικό κιβώτιο είτε με ένα 7-τάχυτο αυτόματο κιβώτιο διπλού συμπλέκτη (ο πετρελαιοκινητήρας είναι διαθέσιμος και με ένα 6-τάχυτο αυτόματο κιβώτιο), τα οποία στέλνουν την κίνηση στους πίσω τροχούς. Τα 0-100 χλμ/ώρα ο βενζινοκινητήρας τα κάνει σε 4.3 δευτ, ενώ ο πετρελαιοκινητήρας σε 5.6, με την τελική ταχύτητα και στις δύο περιπτώσεις να ανέρχεται σε 250 χλμ/ώρα. Στα μελλοντικά πλάνα της HB είναι δημιουργήσει και μια πιο σπορ έκδοση καθώς επίσης και μια αγωνιστική.

HB Coupe General Idea behind the project.
What about a HB Coupe?? We have been very busy drawing and thinking about this project. That’s when it gets silent on our side… sorry for that.
However, just a few ideas for you to think over.
- What about a sports coupe that is fuel efficient? Let’s say .. 0-100 in under 6 seconds but 3.8 l /100?
- What about modern comforts and modern proven technology?
- What about classic lines?
- What about it being a daily driver… let’s say home-work-home stuck in traffic kind of thing?5. What about it being comfortable when it needs to be and quick and nimble when you want it to be?
- What about that it will never rust??
Well, we have been thinking about it a lot and we have come to the conclusion that as gentlemen drivers:
Yes, we want a sports coupe, for rain and sunny weather, with modern day comforts, with classic lines, which doesn’t rust, which can carry our bags, which can handle mountain roads as well as traffic jams, which can be serviced at any garage, which will put a smile on our faces every day and not to forget that drives to the Swiss Alps from Amsterdam on 48 litres.
Mmhmmm, but we are not like everybody… because that car would surely exist already. So maybe some of us don’t like classic lines too much and maybe some of us don’t really care about tanking after 1200 km. Some of us want a race car for on the road – a road racer.
Well, we have been thinking about it a lot and we have come to the conclusion that as road racers.
Yes, we want a race car for on the road, for rain and sunny weather, with some modern day comforts, which doesn’t rust, which can carry a bag, which can handle mountain roads as well as traffic jams, which can be serviced at any garage, which will put a smile on our faces every day and not to forget that drives to the Swiss Alps from Amsterdam in less than 7 hours… easily.
Mhmmhmmm, but some of us don’t see the road as a circuit but a circuit as their road…. Yeah, think about that one.
Well, we have been thinking about it a lot and we have come to the conclusion that as pure racers
Yes, we want a race car for on a circuit. That can be tuned to the bone. That’s lightweight and safe and that goes like stink!
We could not really decide which of the 3 personalities we are?? So we decided to design all 3. Call them triplets if you wish, all we know is, it’s taken time and effort to design. Now it’s going to take a whole lot more time and serious funding to get these babies on the road. We can use all the help we can get.
