An hydrogen-powered Aston Martin
Rapide S crossed a lap of the Nürburgring circuit in Germany , a first for
a vehicle that uses this alternative fuel.
Aston Martin and Dr. Ulrich
Bez, the CEO of the British company, have secured their place in the history
books through the premiere achieved on the Nürburgring circuit. We are
talking about the first lap crossed by a hydrogen-powered vehicle, without any
CO2 emissions throughout the lap. Rapide S in the hydrogen-powered version is
not the first vehicle with zero CO2 emissions to visit the circuit
near Nürburg, but it’s the first one hydrogen-powered and it is not a 100%
electric vehicle, as the models prepared by Toyota and
Peugeot in their fight
for the title of “the fastest electric car on Nürburgring.
Engineers from Gaydon have developed
the hydrogen fuel supply of Aston Martin Rapide S, with the support of the
Alset Global specialists and, according to the representatives of the British
brand, it exceeded initial expectations through the performance displayed.
Following this test lap, Aston Martin engineers are convinced that their model
is ready for the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring circuit, where Rapide S
will compete against 200 other models.
The fuel supply of Rapide S in the
pictures above allows both hydrogen and gasoline feed. The engine of
the Nürburgring model is a prototype version of the 6.0 liter twin-turbo
V12 found in the Aston Martin range. The hydrogen supply has four carbon fiber
tanks that can hold 3.5 kg of hydrogen at a pressure of 350 bar. The
hydrogen is supplied into the combustion chamber through a separate injection
system and the engine uses a different injection map when supplied with this
gas.
