Huet Brothers HB Coupe : 2014

In January 2012, Huet Brothers showed drawings of the HB Coupé series. Due to the overwhelming response they have continued to design and adjust to make it a feasible project.

Huet Brothers has made some big changes. They've down sized the engine from 6 to 4 cylinders and have managed to reduce the weight by 200 kilo’s. The result is a light weight car with the same performance but using less fuel.

It is serviceable in any garage. It has modern day comforts and safety features. It can be used as a daily driver, but awards the more sportive driver.

There will be a limited production run of 40 cars in total in 2014. Reserving a production slot is based on first come first serve.

Carbon Fibre Monocoque.
The Monocoque structure consists of 3 parts - the chassis plate, the inner shell and the body shell. It is quite something special. It has impact zones in front and back and reinforced side impact structures. It is very strong and very light. The complete monocoque weighs less then 100 kilo’s.

Contrary to general belief carbon fibre can be fixed in case of small mishaps. It is extremely durable and the material properties are excellent for car construction. Huet Brothers uses vacuum injection for their 29 moulds. It is completely handcrafted in house.

Reservation process.
