is a sports car with hydrogen technology.

 

The concept shown is described by Pininfarina as a vehicle halfway between a racing prototype and a production supercar. The H2 Speed ​​is equipped with two electric racing engines which are powered by a hydrogen fuel cell. With an output of 503hp, the vehicle reaches a top speed of 300km/h and the 100km/h landmark is reached in 3.4 seconds. A braking energy recovery system is also included in the concept.

 

According to Pininfarina, the H2 Speed, whose engine took two years to be developed, is the first racing hydrogen high-performance car in the world.

 

In addition to the efficiency in the powertrain, Pininfarina also focused on the development of the H2 Speed body ​​in order to optimize the aerodynamic efficiency. The inspiration for the vehicle design came from racing cars, with the goal of creating a car that is beautiful but also high-performance. The sports car roof that connects the top and the rear spoiler is similar to a LMP car. Sporty details include a front splitter and angular rear diffuser.

 

The powertrain of the H2 Speed ​​was developed by GreenGT, a company specializing in design, production and development of sustainable propulsion system and high-performance.
