The story behind HTT
The performance-car world is always moving forward, aiming for greater performance, faster transmission, improved balance, reduced weight, and more in order to provide a better driving experience. However, the world has yet to see a perfectly balanced performance car for the road. This dream for perfection became the inspiration of two race car fanatics, who became the founders of HTT.
Luc Chartrand and Carl Descoteaux found each other through a story in a magazine. They came from very different backgrounds, but shared a common passion. When they came together, a vision to create a perfectly balanced vehicle was born. They wanted to create a revolutionary performance car that drivers could take on the track and on the road. The perfect solution features a central driving position, which was found in racing already many years ago. Based on this motivation, endless hours of devotion, and a simple garage in Montreal, the first model of the Pléthore became a reality. With an additional initial investor, three letters were chosen from the founders’ names and HTT became a company.
What started out as a few drawings and clay models, and then wooden scale components, quickly transformed into a carefully engineered prototype. The entire car was then built in less than three years. Car lovers and race car enthusiasts were amazed by the finish and quality of the first prototype that came out of the small Montreal garage. Since then, a slow strategic market development has begun and the prototype has participated in a number of prestigious automotive shows worldwide.
After years of blood and sweat put into designing and building the supercar, the HTT Pléthore will soon be launched into the market for car fanatics to indulge. The Pléthore will separate itself from the big car manufacturers by limiting its production to preserve its rarity and genuine craftsmanship. HTT values uniqueness and superior performance, and will not compromise. With the help of computer modelling, the internet, global suppliers and persistent local passion, HTT has become the only Canadian manufacturer of a unique, truly global car.
A dream, that was once assumed impossible by many, has created major change in the history of performance cars.
