BMW Hydrogen 7
The BMW Hydrogen 7, based on the BMW 7 Series, is a "hybrid" in that it uses both a gasoline-and hydrogen-powered drive, and is powered by a 260 hp twelve-cylinder engine and features a dual-mode power unit — controlled at the touch of a button — that can switch from the 17.6 lb. hydrogen fuel tank (125 miles worth) to the 16.3 lb. conventional premium gasoline tank (300 miles worth). The premium gas gives it some fuel economy issues, the Hydrogen 7 gets 15 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway — but by providing both drive units, it's able to get a range of more than 400 miles. It also makes certain the car will still drive even if it isn't in range of a hydrogen fuel station. The Hydro-7 has got the same creature comforts as the regular 7 Series, with electric seats (now with lumbar support!), ISOFIX child seat fastenings and interior mirrors with something called "automatic anti-dazzle". BMW will produce 100 of them to test as a concept As for performance, the Hydro-7 will do 0-60 in under ten seconds and has a top speed of around 140 mph.
