Genty Automobile: Akylone news **2014 Revealed (page 1)**

Press release...

As a tribute to beauty and performance AKYLONE represents the ultimate expression of pleasure and automotive passion. Thanks to its graceful shape and outstanding finish AKYLONE symbolizes the values of the prestigious French craftsmanship industry.

AKYLONE embodies the subtle alchemy between pure performance and emotion that can only be conveyed by a work of art. There will be a limited series of fifteen units.

CONCEPTION

The Akylone project was born more than 4 years ago with the will to create a high performance vehicle and to return to the principle of driving pleasure (high power and weight reduced to the minimum). During this phase, the designers, engineers and technicians conceived an elaborate product with a strong identity able to captivate the most passionate and demanding customers.

Akylone is the result of a unique technical expertise combined with the most advanced materials. Its power to weight ratio has never before been reached by a vehicle of its class.

There is no doubt that AKYLONE will be the new reference for road and racetrack performance due to its performance, agility, aerodynamic qualities and polyvalent chassis frame.

GENTY AUTOMOBILE

Genty Automobile is an independent company based near Vichy (France) specialized in the design and conception of high performance vehicles. In a small structure, an in house team, highly specialized in all the different fields of vehicle creation and construction is able to design and manufacture the majority of parts.

Genty Automobile can rely on a network of reputable European and US partners as well as local craftsmen who are reputed the world over.

Holy crap that's nice. That rear end looks like it's straight out of 2030 though.

My two favorite racing liveries: Martini and Gulf. John Player is a very close third.

Post 2014 Genty Alkylone

Press release...

Akylone is a French hyper car project, on which my associates and I have been working for almost 7 years. Without any help from outside, we have greatly invested in this project, both in work hours and on the financial plan. Today I am addressing all fans of sports cars and auto enthusiasts to give you the opportunity to join us in this unique automotive adventure.

Let's get to know us

We suggest you to join us so we can make the project a success together. Wherever you are in the world, we invite as many people to show up on our website, our Facebook page and through social networks.

Crowdfunding

WiseedIf this project interests you, you want to support our work and see this project grow, we invite you to participate in our project financially through a system of crowdfunding. The wiseed.com site offers you to vote until March 11 for our project to open a period of participatory financing allowing you to buy shares of our company.

Soon you will be able to connect yourselves to the American platform “Indiegogo”, where in return for your gifts, you will receive derivative of our brand. The purpose of this double lifting of funds is to satisfy everyone, investors, givers, French or Foreigners

Use of funds

During the presentation of our concept at the luxury car show “Top Marques” in Monaco in April 2013, many potential customers and investors have asked us to create a full scale model in order to invest into the project or order a car. The entire amount raised will be used to finance the full scale model, followed by an international presentation tour in four countries: the United Arab Emirates, the USA, Russia and China. In these countries, the demand for products from the luxury segment is the largest.

Together we are strong

This type of fund raising is not typical for an automotive project. We really wish with all our hearts that you can help us to realize this big dream, take part in it and thus contribute to the creation of a new luxury sports car brand. We count on you. We trust this project will be of interest to a vast majority of funders.

Crowd funding? This is probably the last Kickstarter-esque product I'd invest in, despite how much I like it.

I agree about the tails... much better before.
