The most interesting automobile to hit the "market" of incredible prototypes that actually work is the BMW H2R Record car. You wouldn't think a hydrogen car could do so much, but this is not an electric car. This is a fine example of German craftsmanship combined with the latest technology in the field of alternative fuel sources and it was built with the intention of settling new records in hydrogen performance.
After spending incredible amounts of time, money and the energy to spearhead the production of hydrogen-powered vehicle, the result is worthy of the name BMW. The ground breaking result set nine world records and proved that hydrogen has the best chances to become the fuel of the future.
The exterior design is as futuristic as the general theme of the car. Having smooth lines, aerodynamic design and gleaming silver body, it look more like a marine predator from the future. The car has a lightweight aluminium chassis, a monocoque aluminium space frame and outer skin composed of carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic.
This gives her a superb stability and a truly impressive top speed, with the greatly appreciated support from the 245/40/19 tires and from the suspension system, which uses a double wishbone, spring-strut front axle, rack and pinion steering, forged-aluminium track control arms, a tie bar and an anti roll bar.
Technical specifications are also remarkable, as this car uses a 6litre V12 liquid-hydrogen-powered engine, generating 232 horsepower. This technological wonder propel the car to a top speed of over 187mph(301km/h) and makes its acceleration from 0 to 62mph(0 to 100km/h)....
