Actor Brad Pitt arrived in aBMW Hydrogen 7 to the Warner Bros. premiere of the film "Ocean's 13" at Grauman's Chinese Theatre yesterday in Hollywood, California.
The Hydrogen 7 is a production-ready prototype unveiled by BMW last year. Unlike many hydrogen-powered cars, the H7 does not use fuel cells and electric motors, but instead burns hydrogen in a typical internal combustion fashion.

BMW has apparently come through on its promise of building a limited number of Hydrogen 7s for use by celebrities and government officials.
The cruising range in the hydrogen mode is more than 125 miles, with another 300 miles in the gasoline mode. If there was no gasoline storage, hydrogen mode range could be significantly greater.

Although the H7 could be produced in a few years, the lack of a hydrogen infrastructure means most people probably won't get their hands on one for quite some time.

That's incredible. I thought the use of hydrogen in luxury cars would be far off. It's good to see even the elite car companies are getting their acts together to create alternate fuel sources.

I think that hydrogen is not the correct decision because it will be also expensive, there are other methods of electric energy for example, russians have made a small baterry with a 5 year life work , so i think the future are electric cars.

How about the difference in power?

The Tesla Motors has produced a roadster that goes from 0 to 60mph in 4 seconds, also some spec: 100% electric, over 200 miles per charge, less than 2 cents per mile, you can read more about it here teslamotors.com

That's pretty interesting. Thanks for the link.

WOW! Tesla
