Italian design house Pininfarina has released a teaser image for another vehicle that it's had a hand in and will go on display at the Geneva Motor Show early next month.

Unlike the Fittipaldi EF7 Vision Gran Turismo by Pininfarina – a new supercar being jointly developed by Pininfarina, Formula 1 legend Emerson Fittipaldi and motorsport specialists HWA - this car is touted as being a luxury saloon with an environmentally friendly powertrain.

Called the H600, the saloon is a concept using “new energy propulsion” and is being designed and manufactured by Pininfarina on behalf of Hong Kong based Hybrid Kinetic Group. The group manufactures alternative energy powertrains, technologies and vehicles for the Chinese market, such as hybrid buses.

We know little about the Hybrid Kinetic H600 or indeed what kind of powertrain is in store, though the teaser picture here hints at the smooth, upmarket looking lines Pininfarina has penned for its partner, with a long and thin brake light stretching the width of the tailgate and connecting the taillights. A touch of premium market flair is added with the brushed metal surround.

Like the EF7, Pininfarina has promised we’ll hear more about the H600 in the run up to the show, so stay tuned.

Alongside the two show cars, Pininfarina will also unveil a concept created by itself and students at IED Torino, the European Institution of Design’s Turin campus.
