Aston Martin and the challenge of hydrogen

Aston Martin Rapide S Hybrid will partecipate in this 2013 Nürburgring 24 hours, and it will be the first car ever to take part to this kind of event with zero CO2 emission. The car will be done on the chassis of the new Rapide S. To pursuit this great result, Aston Martin works together with Alset Global to create a twin turbochargers 6.0-litre V12 engine that will power the Nürburgring car. Alset Global’s unique Hybrid Hydrogen system allows a vehicle to run on hydrogen, gasoline or a blend of both fuels, depending on the driving request, and ensures an optimum balance between power, acceleration and CO2 reduction.
