A TRIBUTE TO BEAUTY AND PERFORMANCE

The luxury Hypercar made in France, AKYLONE is the ultimate expression of automotive pleasure and

passion. A piece of art and collector’s item aimed at an ultra-limited production that only an elite can boast about acquiring.

In Saint-Yorre – Allier, October 2021 - Genty Automobile is delighted to present its finished rolling prototype of the AKYLONE.

AKYLONE is the first model of SA Genty Automobile, a new French luxury vehicle manufacturer. This project consists in the design and production of a sports vehicle of the “hypercar” type, a vehicle whose horsepower is written with 4 numbers, to promote new technologies.

His passion for cars combined with his strong expertise in advanced composite materials, has led Frédéric Genty to realize and share his vision of an outstanding vehicle, with very high level performance and an uncompromising design.

AKYLONE wants to provide a very original product to customers in a rapidly expanding luxury cars market where excellence, scarcity and the “soul” are keywords.

A DREAM

AKYLONE was born out a childhood dream of a kid who lived in a bedroom full of posters of Ferrari F40, Ford GT40 or other Lamborghini and was inventing amazing and wonderful mechanical car adventures in the line of the Mulsanne Straight.

Since then, the world of “supercar” has evolved with new brands which imposed new standards of performance, horsepower, technology, security, luxury... But all this comes at a price: weight which counteracts the effectiveness of dynamic behavior on the road and on the track and progressively kills the thrill of driving hyper car...

This observation was the starting point of, the original idea of Akylone, with entire design dedicated to driving pleasure, to true sensations, without any devices preventing a direct driving experience.

After an initial accounting and legal training (degrees in IT management, law and public administration), Frédéric then, based on his passion, reoriented professionally towards the world of advanced composite materials.

He also studied computer-assisted industrial design, specializing in the field of surfacing as well as in the management and programming of 4 and 5 axis machining centers, in tool development, results analysis, planning and human resources. His experiences as a workshop manager in several prototyping companies, manufacturing replicas from Lamborghini and Ferrari, and then concept cars have allowed him to develop and reinforce his management and project management skills and nurtures his passion for luxury cars.

Encouraged by one of his teachers, he decided to make his childhood dream a reality and embarked on a project that is as crazy as it is prestigious: building a French hypercar in the heart of the Auvergne Rhône Alpes region. With the French glorious automobile racing history, France can legitimately create this kind of sport luxury hypercar.

This is exactly the challenge that the Genty Automobile team has taken up.

Akylone claims to be and even boasts about being the French hypercar, designed, manufactured and assembled in France; composed for the most part of French parts and associating the partners of the most prestigious French brands, to mention only those of Michelin or Pipo Moteurs.

TECHNOLOGICAL BREAKTHROUGH

Genty Automobile shares a mantra with one of the greatest automobile designers of the 20th century, Colin Chapman: simplicity and lightness, or “Simplify, then add lightness”, while enhancing the design and quality of the equipment.

AKYLONE is the result of unique technical expertise combined with the most advanced materials.

The constant search for weight reduction on Akylone is omnipresent in its conception and thus calls for the use of the most efficient composite materials for all vehicle structures, .for drastic optimization of parts number thanks to CAD technology and finally the use of the most efficient external equipment.

The AKYLONE hums to the rhythm of its beating heart, that of the V8 Bi-turbo of the French engine manufacturer Pipo Moteurs and develops 1200 horsepower for a torque of 1200 Nm.

It is equipped with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres, carbon fibre wheels, exclusively designed for Genty Automobile, and carbon ceramic brakes.

The design and overall aesthetics of the vehicle, key words of our project, are implemented in all stages from designing to manufacturing, in order to obtain a perfect quality of finish, as a reflection of the French heritage of the largest luxury brands.
