It was obvious to us that our company’s first vehicle must be exceptional, quite simply authentic and with traits and features which emanate its originality and underscore its genuine nature. But we wanted to go much further; we yearned for something extra, and this we defined as a smartly wrought original linked back to history. And on top of all that, something which could be put together in modular fashion, as our original idea was that we would design and manufacture most cars ourselves using just a few mass-produced parts.
We chose the Škoda 130 RS (‘Erko’), the only true Czechoslovak legendary car. In making our first sketches, we had to keep our basic idea in mind – to be innovative, but to preserve all the important and characteristic elements of the original body. We needed to find the optimum level of retro features and contemporary style so that a body with a distinctive design could be created, and not just a boring transformation from history to the present. We sought our own design language, our own proportions and also a certain gap in the contemporary car market.

We have developed a completely new all-aluminium body for our HN R200 project. This is complemented by a number of carbon-fibre composite features. We have paid great attention to every detail to ensure a harmonious whole is created with top-notch production methods. The distinctive design is built using uncompromising sports forms. Our goal was to create an automobile as a gem and a product which is without a successor, which is simply to be unique. We designed the work as an original piece which is added to in a modular style and further containing a number of features of mass-produced vehicles in order to achieve an overall harmony of the working whole.
The result bears these technical parameters: Performance 430 hp, acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.5 s. Maximum speed 280 km/h. Combined fuel consumption 12.5 litres. The car is built taking account of the driver experience, and as such has six-speed manual transmission, and no unnecessary features in the interior, just you and your driving experience.

The interior, which was also born in our workshop, uses fine materials with an absolute emphasis on clarity and use, and as such, for instance, it is not equipped with a standard car radio but rather with a tailor-made and fine-tuned audio system made by AQ, which contends brilliantly with the brutal engine performance.
We knew that without a good dose of energy and a proverbial smattering of wild furious beauty, the body’s aesthetics is only half complete. As such, we used a high quality chassis, all-aluminium support frame, and in particular an eight-cylinder Audi R8 engine as the technical basis for building the HN R200. We chose a two-seater coupé model, with an overall concept of a classic supercar with the engine located between the two axles. The HN R200 vehicle thus represents a true original added to in a modular fashion with a number of features of standard mass-produced vehicles in order to achieve an overall harmony.
