Hybrid Kinetic Group is a Hong Kong based company, which specializes in developing and manufacturing clean energy vehicles, which include batteries, electric motors and control systems.
The form of this concept car is an all electric-powered grand tourer. At the front it looks aggressive with a thin main light line on the edge and enlarges in the middle.
While on the back, it reminds us of the figure of the Mercedes-AMG GT thanks to its oval-shaped rear lights. Like other electric cars, this car does not have a conventional grille, then replaced with vertical LED lights that will help the lighting when driving at night.
