  | Hydrogen powered BMW 7-Series spied    Hydrogen powered BMW 7-Series spied We've known for a while that BMW planned on outfitting its luxo-barge with a hydrogen fuel cell, but what we didn't expect was that it was already getting some drive time. Some clever photogs under the employ of AutoExpress took a few shots of a 7-Series undergoing testing and through their keen sense of detection were able to identify it has running on the big "H." The tank, according to the spies, takes up most of the trunk and has a dual fuel system that will switch between gas (hydrogen) and gas (as in gasoline) when one or the other runs out. The engine is the same one we reported on back in March of this year, namely a six-liter V12, producing 231 hp. We have to hand it to BMW on this one, they said back in 2004 that they'll have a hydrogen vehicle in four years, and according to AutoExpress, BMW is looking to launch its hydrogen-powered sedan by 2008. Maybe there is something to that whole "German efficiency" shtick. - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER |

| Re: Hydrogen powered BMW 7-Series spied They really need to find a way to get more boot room, if that's possible! Also, 231bhp, I don't know much about hydrogen but that amount of power from a 6 liter engine seems shockingly bad! |
