THIS ALPINE SPORTS CAR HAS A HYDROGEN COMBUSTION TURBO ENGINE

It's only a four-pot but a bigger V-6 is coming.

Some automakers are adamant that the combustion engine is worth saving. Toyota believes it can be done by making the ICE burn hydrogen instead of fossil fuels. Porsche and Lamborghini think synthetic fuels might be the gas engine's savior. Renault's performance brand Alpine is on team hydrogen, and this Alpenglow Hy4 is a proof of concept.

An evolution of the static 2022 Alpenglow concept, the Hy4 is a running prototype. It rocks a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine developing 340 horsepower. The four-cylinder mill revs to 7,000 rpm and feeds off from three hydrogen tanks, each carrying 4.6 pounds of hydrogen at 700 bar of pressure. Output is channeled to the road via a sequential transmission.
