Aston Martin will unveil a gas/hydrogen hybrid variant of the Rapide S during the 24 Hours of Nürburgring (May 19-20). It will be the first of its kind to race at this international event.

The Aston Martin Rapide S Hybrid Hydrogen features a 6.0L twin-turbo V12 engine and is capable of running on hydrogen, gasoline, or a combination of both. Driving dynamics can be optimized for power, acceleration, or fuel economy.

Top speed is rated at more than 300 km/h, while 0-100km/h takes 4.9 seconds. The car is expected to complete the first lap running on hydrogen alone, which means it'll emit nothing but water vapour.

Aston Martin currently has no plans to produce and sell the Rapide S Hybrid Hydrogen.
