This Alpine Supercar Has a Hydrogen V-6 Engine

Basic like Toyota, Alpine thinks the combustion engine would maybe well very well be saved by making it escape on hydrogen. Whereas the Japanese automaker has been experimenting with GR Yaris and GR Corolla sizzling hatches with three-cylinder engines, Renault’s efficiency division began with a four-cylinder unit. Now, it’s showing a supercar concept with an even greater V-6.

The V-6 revs to 9,000 rpm and feeds on hydrogen saved in three tanks. Two are mounted within the side pods whereas the third one sits within the aid of the cockpit. All three tanks are positioned in ventilated compartments, and for security reasons, don’t portion the relaxation with the cabin.

The Alpenglow Hy6 is motivated by a wholly unusual V-6 that took two years to invent. It uses an aluminum block with a dry sump and produces 211 hp per liter. The mid-mounted combustion engine is nestled in an LMP3 carbon chassis and enables the supercar to exceed 205 mph (330 km/h) with zero emissions. There may perchance be an Inconel employ machine constructed into the hind lights nonetheless its role is to commence water vapor.

Alpine has confirmed plans to position a supercar in manufacturing nonetheless it absolutely’s unclear whether or no longer it’ll hang a hydrogen-fueled combustion engine or a really electric drivetrain. In the length in-between, the French imprint is gearing up to originate its debut within the US in a couple of years.
