BMW Launches Hydrogen 7 in London

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos

No place like on the green to launch a car so green. BMW's Hydrogen 7, the automaker's 260bhp 12-cylinder hydrogen vehicle, was brought to a British golf tournament on World Environment Day before taking part in the Revolve Brighton to London rally for low and zero-emission cars. After that eventful trip, the vehicle made its way to the London Science Museum, where it was adopted to represent one of the first major strides in bringing hydrogen vehicles to market.

The vehicle can be switched between hydrogen fuel and gasoline with just a touch of the button on the steering wheel. While 0-60 in the low 9-seconds range isn't anything staggering, the potential the car brings to light is immense.

BMW Unveils The First Luxury Hydrogen Car

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos

Well, somebody had to do it, and we're quite happy that the guys over at BMW decided to bolt a hydrogen/gasoline hybrid onto their luxury-performance 7-series, proving that we auto-loving Americans can have our eco-friendly cake and eat (drive) it (fast) too. The BMW Hydrogen 7 has a fully functional hydrogen engine that emits only water vapor and will get you 124 miles per fill up while the gasoline engine will get you another 311 miles on a full tank.

The Hydrogen 7 will be available to a limited few in 2007, but look to 2008 for the rest of us schmucks to be able to see this bad boy on our local showroom floors. Click here to see the Governator unveil it this morning, and here for lots more pretty pictures.
