H2 Speed is the Concept of the Year

Pininfarina’s hydrogen-fueled #concept car blew away the competition #h2speed lovers can admire it at the upcoming Bologna Motor Show (December 3-11 2016). The #h2speed conquers the highest step of the podium. Already awarded Best #concept at 2016 Geneva Motor Show, Pininfarina’s hydrogen-fueled supercar has now been elected #concept of the Year by influential U.S. magazine Automobile. “From the time the #pininfarina #h2speed appeared at the Geneva show in March, we thought it was pretty m uch a lock as #concept of the Year. It’s sleek, sporty in the extreme, beautifully so in the classical PininfarinaFerrari racing sports-car tradition. And it embodies advanced technology that m akes it an alm ost totally non-polluting vehicle in use,” explained Automobile’s automotive #design editor Robert Cumberford. “The H2 represents everything we think a #concept vehicle should be,” added Autom obile editor-in-chief Michael Floyd. “It’s forward thinking, fast-looking - and m ost importantly - exquisitely designed.” "The #concept of the Year Award comes at the end of a year that was full of recognitions to #pininfarina #design. Our commitment as designers is to imagine new scenarios and to conceive projects able to set new standards in terms of style, functionality and technology. Recognitions to the #h2speed from the international press confirm that we’ve been able to once again interpret the #pininfarina spirit creating an innovative piece of #design that em bodies beauty, technology and sustainability,” commented Chairman Paolo #pininfarina. For those who love it, from 3 to 11 December 2016 Pininfarina’s supercar will be on display at the Bologna Motor Show on the collective stand of ANFIA Car Coachbuilders & Designers Group. Bologna will be the final stop for 2016 of #h2speed European tour which also visited France, Belgium and UK. #h2speed is Pininfarina’s innovative vision of a high performance track car based on revolutionary hydrogen fuel cell technology already subjected to severe track testing by #green GT. A showpiece of style and technology in the name of sportiness, performance and pure, environmentally responsible driving fun. The #h2speed will appeal to passionate people who love speed, performance and innovation and, at the same time, are attracted by the exclusivity typical of a Pininfarina-designed vehicle produced in a limited series. Halfway between a racing prototype and a production supercar, the #h2speed is the world’s first hydrogen, high performance car thanks to the ‘Full Hydrogen Power’ technology presented by #green GT, a powerful electric-hydrogen fuel cell drive chain. The result is a zero emissions vehicle that can reach 300 km/h while releasing just water vapour into the atmosphere. With a maximum power of 503 horsepower, the engine accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds. Also notable is the rapid refueling, unknown to traditional electric cars: a full tank of hydrogen takes just 3 minutes. The #h2speed almost completely eliminates noise pollution too, the sound emitted by the motor being close to total silence. With the #h2speed, #pininfarina confirms its commitment to #excellence in #design and research applied to sustainable mobility, the strong points of a company that is also intensively occupied in engineering services and in the development of special cars and limited series of exclusive models.
