The Hydrogen 7 will be equipped with an internal combustion engine capable of running on either hydrogen or gasoline and is based on BMW's 7 Series.
The numbers? The car's engine is a 260-horsepower, 12-cylinder engine and accelerates from zero to 62.1 mph (zero to 99.4 kph) in 9.5 seconds. The top speed is limited electronically to 143 mph (228.8 kph).
