# Hydrogen Supercar Concepts The H2 Speed is the World's First High-Performance Hydrogen-Powered Car By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2016-03-08 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydrogenpowered-cars References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/pininfarina-hydrogen-fuelcell-supercar/42140/) & [pininfarina](http://www.pininfarina.com/en/h2_speed/h2_speed.htm) Italian engineering design firm [Pininfarina](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/battista) has come up with a futuristic hydrogen-powered car concept that was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show. Named the H2 Speed, this particular vehicle concept features power drawn from a pair of electric motors that together pump out around 500 horsepower at a scarcely believable 13,000 revolutions per minute. The vehicle is capable of zooming from zero to 100 km/h in only 3.4 seconds on its way to a top speed of around 300 km/h. Perhaps the most eye-catching technological feature of this hydrogen-powered car concept is the fact that its only emitted material is water, making it exceptionally eco-friendly without compromising on performance. This vehicle is a concept that requires years of refining before it can be thought of as a possible production offering, but still goes to prove how smart use of science can in fact make vehicles more sustainable without hampering the driving experience in any way. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 87% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Hydrogen-powered Cars:** The development of hydrogen-powered cars presents an opportunity for a disruptive innovation in the automotive industry. - **High-performance Electric Motors:** The use of high-performance electric motors in hydrogen-powered cars creates an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the electric vehicle industry. - **Eco-friendly Vehicles:** The focus on eco-friendly vehicles like the H2 Speed highlights a potential disruptive innovation opportunity in the sustainable transportation industry. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Automotive:** The automotive industry could benefit from advances in hydrogen-powered car technology and the potential for disruptive innovation in vehicle propulsion. - **Electric Vehicle:** The electric vehicle industry has an opportunity for disruptive innovation through the integration of high-performance electric motors in hydrogen-powered cars. - **Sustainable Transportation:** The sustainable transportation industry can explore disruptive innovation possibilities offered by eco-friendly vehicles like the H2 Speed. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hydrogen-Electric Racecars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/missionh24.md) - [Hydrogen-Powered Hypercar Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alpenglow-hypercar.md) - [Swiss Hydrogen-Powered Hypercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kincsem-hyper-gt.md) - [Hydrogen-Powered Supercar Teasers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alpine-a4810.md) - [Hydrogen-Powered Race Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toyota-gr-h2-racing-concept.md) - [Hydrogen-Powered Concept Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydra-bike.md) - [Hydrogen-Powered Concept Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drive-h2.md) - [Traditional Vehicle Hydrogen Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corolla-cross-hydrogen-concept.md) - [Hybrid-System Futuristic Hypercar Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedesamg-one.md)
