Huet Brothers introduced the HB Coupé

GTRene · Nov 7, 2012

Huet Brothers introduced the HB Coupé, a fantastic (me thinks) lightweight car...

full carbon monocoque and carros etc and weighs only 800kg (prospect?)

their list is almost full...anyway's here some about the car and they have a great website to to choose in 3 types of that HB Coupe.

it has a bit the lovely looks of the Maserati A6GCS

I like it...
what do you think.

a good part its low weight >>

A weight of under 1,800 pounds (815 kg), a 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) under five seconds

if they can reach that goal.

the HB brand looks good too...a bit ala Bugg

Huet Brothers introduced the HB Coupé concept car this past January, and has refined the design into a production-ready model. Each rear-wheel-drive Coupé is built atop a carbon monocoque that weighs less than 220 pounds (100 kg), lending way to a total weight of around 1,764 pounds (800 kg) – even when factoring in modern conveniences like the heated seats, airbags and touchscreen-based audio system.

With a weight that looks more like that of half a car, Huet Brothers was able to shrink the size of its original six-cylinder engine down to a 170-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder, to increase fuel economy while still maintaining a 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) acceleration of less than five seconds. A tuned 255-hp 2.0-liter option gets there in less than four seconds.

HB Coupe blends classic looks with modern comforts

Huet Brothers is also working on a third Coupé, the track-specific Coupé RACE. That model will not be street legal and will include a full roll cage. Huet Brothers is still working out powertrain details, and told us it's considering a 300-hp engine with F1 gearbox.

Each model is offered with a six-speed manual transmission, independent double-wishbone front suspension, independent multi-link rear suspension, anti-lock braking system (ABS) and leather interior.

looks like they also use a own monocoque...cool.

look at their cool website

there also a bit confusion in the F.A.Q's those F.A.Q.'s are about their first car they made so that TR6 info is about the HB Special (a one off I believe)

here are the HB Coupe specs in pdf, als nice made in "old" style
