VUELTA A LOS ORÍGENES DEL ORO AMARILLO: HUBLOT SE RECONECTA CON SU ESPÍRITU FUNDADOR

VUELTA A LOS ORÍGENES DEL ORO AMARILLO: HUBLOT SE RECONECTA CON SU ESPÍRITU FUNDADOR

Las nuevas piezas de https://www.hublot.com/presentadas en exclusiva en la LVMH Watch Week recuperan la esencia original de la manufactura: la fusión del oro y el caucho en una estética sport chic, en una época en la que, hace más de 40 años, el concepto de reloj sport chic no incluso existir.

Cada una de estas seis piezas representa un pedacito de la historia de la manufactura y de la forma en que avanza. Una línea clara entre lo que fue, es y será Hublot. Recorriendo 40 años de historia, saber hacer, creatividad, total dominio técnico y los cimientos de una leyenda que, hace 40 años, tenía un solo modelo: la Classic Original de 1980.

Hoy, cada pieza marca un capítulo en la gran aventura de Hublot: el nacimiento del Big Bang, Classic Fusion, the Spirit of Big Bang, el arte del engaste, el esqueleto y la creación de los primeros movimientos de manufactura, entre otros. A su manera individual, estas seis piezas fusionan los elementos estéticos y técnicos de la firma de https://www.hublot.com/. Eso sí, siempre con un denominador común: oro amarillo y negro.

Encuentra su expresión más esencial en el Classic Fusion Chronograph. Es la primera vez que se produce en oro amarillo en un diámetro de 42 mm. Un bicompax limpio, sobrio, elegante y automático: el primero, original y único.

Le sigue de cerca el Big Bang Integral, realizado íntegramente en oro amarillo (caja, bisel y brazalete). Esta versión, diseñada a partir de un solo bloque de oro macizo, también está disponible completamente engastada con diamantes, junto con la última versión de Alta Joyería.

Este trío icónico se completa con la última generación de colecciones contemporáneas de Hublot: el único e inigualable Big Bang Unico y el escultural Spirit of Big Bang. El Big Bang es el primero en presentar una caja de 42 mm íntegramente en oro amarillo con correa de caucho y movimiento Unico. Es la encarnación definitiva del espíritu de fabricación 100 % de Hublot y cuenta con un calibre con una reserva de marcha de 3 días y un exterior que fusiona el oro amarillo, el negro profundo, el trabajo esquelético, el rendimiento y la potencia.

Y finalmente, el Espíritu del Big Bang. Aquí el énfasis está en el diseño, que adopta la forma de un exquisito tonel con líneas rectas y curvas alternas, con superficies pulidas y satinadas de oro amarillo brillante que crean una espectacular danza de luces. En una versión de 42 mm con movimiento esqueletizado, comparte su sistema de correa intercambiable One Click con el Big Bang y aún funciona con el calibre HUB4700, uno de los movimientos más precisos disponibles con una frecuencia de 5 Hz (36 000 vib/h).

Hennessey Announces Venom F5 Hypercar is Sold Out

Monterey Car Week buyers snap-up remaining Venom F5 models

  • Two production vehicles on display at The Quail and Pebble Beach Concours help secure final sales of the 300+ mph hypercar
  • “Selling out is just the beginning of the F5 journey,” says Founder and CEO John Hennessey
  • Sales allocation for each of the 24 bespoke $2.1M hypercars from Hennessey Performance is now complete
Sealy, Texas – High-performance vehicle specialist Hennessey Special Vehicles has announced it has sold all its Venom F5 hypercars. The Texas-based company showed a pair of Venom F5 customer cars at Monterey Car week where orders were confirmed for the remaining models of the 24-vehicle run.

The F5 pair were shown at The Quail – A Motorsports Gathering, the Pebble Beach Concours and McCall’s Motorworks Revival at the week-long celebration of all things automotive in California. Tens of thousands of fans joined Hennessey customers in admiring the ‘performance follows function’ form of the F5 along with its luxurious, driver-focused interior.

John Hennessey, company founder and CEO: “Showing two of the latest F5 models at The Quail and Pebble Beach alongside the likes of Bugatti, Lamborghini and Koenigsegg was an honor for the whole Hennessey team. The fact that we secured orders from customers who saw the cars at the events is testament to the quality our team has achieved… and we’re yet to reach the vehicle’s full potential!”

Hennessey’s $2.1M twin-turbocharged, 6.6-liter V8 hypercar boasts 1,817 hp and 1,193 lb-ft of torque making it the most powerful hypercar ever made. Hennessey’s team focused on quality of workmanship, and simplicity of design and engineering to deliver a hypercar without peers.

With the show season drawing to a close, the engineering team may return to final validation testing on roads and racing circuits. The final phase of testing will see the team refine the car’s full-power acceleration, high-speed stability and braking. Once the engineering team signs-off this final development phase, Hennessey has its sights set on a top speed surpassing 311 mph (500 kph).

John Hennessey: “Selling out is just the beginning of the F5 journey for us, our customers and our fans. Production has already begun, with customer deliveries starting this year and continuing through 2023. That’s not all, as we’ve saved a few more surprises for the F5, including the Track Pack enhancements, plus something else that’s literally out of this world!”

Hennessey Venom F5

hennessey_sep_02

The Venom F5 is an all-new hypercar designed and built from the ground up with one goal in mind: To be the absolute fastest road car on earth.

Hennessey and team have developed a completely new design, chassis and carbon fiber body focused on aerodynamics to achieve the lowest possible drag. The exterior of the F5 is shaped by aerodynamics and inspired by the pursuit of speed. The entire car exudes determination, purpose and drama from every direction with sculpted aerodynamic ducting and sharp, powerful lines to give the car a real sense of speed and intent, even while stationary.

“Our customers love speed, so we’re fired-up to push the boundaries of what’s possible to attempt the world’s fastest production car record, but the Venom F5 is about more than just speed and power. This car will handle superbly, quality is exceptional, there are more than 3,000 bespoke parts, materials are exquisite, everything is a fitting tribute to 30 years of the Hennessey brand.”

The rear-wheel drive F5 produces 1,817 hp and weighs a mere 1,360 kg (2,998 lb). These facts combine to deliver a power-to-weight ratio of 1.34 hp-per-kg (1,298 hp-per-ton) – well in excess of any road car on sale today. As a key strength of the F5, its tremendous power and lightweight construction help to shape the extreme, visceral and untameable nature of the F5 as an unstoppable force in the hypercar world.

The F5 is powered by a rear-mid-mounted 6.6-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine that generates 1,817 hp at 8,000 rpm. This power, 277 hp/liter, in a car that weighs just 1,360 kg (2,998 lb) generates a power-to-weight ratio of 1.34 hp/kg (1,298 hp/ton) – the highest of any road car.
