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.

  1. What about a sports coupe that is fuel efficient? Let's say .. 0-100 in under 6 seconds but 3.8 l /100??
  2. What about modern comforts and modern proven technology??
  3. What about classic lines??
  4. 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??
  6. 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:

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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. So here is a small little teaser of the classic lined one.... More to follow in 2 weeks or so.

For now you could really help us out by joining the Group Deal on some new watches still in the making. It's an extremely good deal so GO FOR IT!

    Geachte heren Huet.Ik zag op de site van Autovisie een impressie van jullie nieuwe project, de HB Coupé. Ziet er geweldig uit, een Zagato-achtige en klassieke uitstraling! Een en al bewondering voor jullie smaak! Mijn enige puntje van kritiek: Bij jullie HB Special werd ook bij de achterlichten gebruik gemaakt van klassieke units met een klassieke uitstraling. De getoonde achterzijde van de coupé heeft m.i. meer een modernere TVR-achtige uitstraling en lijkt niet helemaal te matchen met de authentieke rest van het voertuig (jaren 60 stijl, chromen spiegels e.d.)Ondanks dit puntje van kritiek wens ik jullie succes met dit project en hoop dat we dit voertuig snel op Neerlands wegen mogen aantreffen!Met vriendelijke groeten,Jan

    I know it's a huge amount of work - but you're living the dream that practically everybody who sees your site wants to live: you're building your own, amazing classic car. Keep it up! I want one!
  • Wow | By: Fernand Huet on 28-01-2012 04:09:50:
    I love the idea of an HB Coupe. That would bring your cars to the next level. Would also probably increase the demand and popularity.

    Reminds me of Aston Martin DB4 Zagato but even more of the Cisitalia 202 Coupé. Stunning.

  • Zagato | By: henk de vries on 30-01-2012 21:39:00:
    The inspiration is clear, so serve the gentlemen drivers with a lightweight but comfortable car. You can as an option provide more power and stiffer underpinnings later.
  • Wow! | By: Aldwin Monker on 02-02-2012 11:14:13:
    What a beauty! This shall suit me wel.Keep me posted?

  • Nice project ! | By: Hadrien Berghmans on 20-02-2012 22:39:16:
    Great to see there are some people planning to build cars in a classic way using modern technology, I wish you success, with that car around the world would be a better place, it means more than just the car, the classic way to bring life to a project... Proud of my HB initials ;-) I have the HB driving gloves bought at Goodwood..
