Pininfarina : The European tour of H2 Speed touches France and Belgium

Pininfarina's hydrogen supercar will be displayed on the occasion of three different events in Montlhéry, Paris and Brussels

Turin, September 21, 2016 - The European tour of the H2 Speed continues in France and Belgium. It started last March in Geneva, where the concept made its world debut at the Auto Show by winning the Best Concept Award. On the weekend of 24 and 25 September Pininfarina's hydrogen supercar will be on display at the rally of the Grandes Heures Automobiles at the Autodrome de Linas-Montlhéry. Soon after the concept will leave for Paris, where on the evening of September 27 it will be exposed during the opening gala of the headquarters of the Automobile Club de France in Place de la Concorde. Furthermore, from October 11 to 13, the concept will move to Brussels,

where it will be displayed on the Michelin booth at the trade show "Salon de l'Offre 2016 - Demain by Norauto" in the exposition park Brussels Kart Expos.

In recent months, the tour of the concept already visited Villa d'Este, Alassio and Turin, in Italy, then France and UK, firstly at the Circuit de la Sarthe on the occasion of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, lastly at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, once again host at the Michelin stand.

H2 Speed 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. Halfway between a racing prototype and a production supercar, the H2 Speed 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 H2 Speed almost completely eliminates noise pollution too, the sound emitted by the motor being close to total silence.
