BMW Z0 prototype

The BMW Z0 is the spot car of the next decade, designed by the Romanian industrial design, Andrei Avarvarii and Adrian Vasiliu. Intended as a smart, efficient and environmentally friendly sports car, the Z0 project takes the “less is more” approach with its minimalist looks and wraps it into a package which gives an unfiltered driving experience.
Andrei and Adrian have chosen a Hydrogen combustion engine as the powerplant as opposed to a more efficient hydrogen fuel-cell. The car has a 1.6 litre turbo hydrogen engine, that produces 0 CO2 emissions. The car weight is 450 kilos, and it takes 4 seconds to have 100 km/h.
The two designers were able to create an exhilarating yet environment friendly sports car. According to them, the fossil-fuel chalenged is a real danger for the driver’s machine.

Although the designers ambitiously project a 10 year window for such a vehicle to be feasible, hydrogen technology for a mass market sports car application is going to take much longer.
