The H2 Speed, which was awarded the 2016 Concept Car of the Year Award and named Best Concept at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, is preparing to go into production in a limited edition by Pininfarina.
Only 12 units will be produced for speed and performance loving gentleman drivers who also respect the environment and are attracted at the same time by the exclusivity typical of a Pininfarina designed vehicle.
From an aesthetic point of view, the great innovation in terms of design is the extension of the lateral intakes on the rear engine bonnet. The opening is divided in two by a vertical partition, also highlighted chromatically, which separates the centre flow aimed at cooling the electric motors from the lateral flow that cools the rear brakes.
At the front, the two large laterally-located radiators, which cool the entire fuel cell block, remain unchanged. Everything in the central part, also remains unchanged.
Another novelty is the livery presented at Geneva 2018. The blue and red colours of Pininfarina are reinterpreted in a modern key to underline that the car will be sold with the Pininfarina logo.
The power of a green engine
In a scenario of great attention to the most sensitive aspects of sustainability and emissions reduction, Pininfarina proposes a new interpretation of its passion for motor car performance in an innovative and totally ecological key.
For this new styling and research exercise, it has used the hydrogen fuel cell technology developed by its partner GreenGT.
The technology presented by GreenGT is the substantial outcome of a two-year development and testing programme that has embodied the form of the H2 Speed concept. GreenGT proposes ‘Full Hydrogen Power’ technology, a powerful electric-hydrogen fuel cell drive chain. The result is a zero emissions vehicle able to reach 300 km/h by releasing just water vapor into the atmosphere. With a maximum power of 653 horsepower, the engine accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds. Also notable is the rapid refueling, unknown to traditional electric cars: a full tank of hydrogen can be done in only 3 minutes.
H2 Speed eliminates air pollution and the compressor gives the vehicle’s engine a very special tone, completely different to that of conventional electric cars – sounds and hisses that evokes science fiction.
The future owners of the H2 Speed will have the opportunity to enjoy their cars with its unique handling and powertrain characteristics in selected track days around the world.
