This years Le Mans we had the Nissan DeltaWing to create new type of technological experimental racing car. For the 2013 Le Mans 24 hours race, car 56 for the 24 hour race will be GreenGT team will bring out a hydrogen-electric hybrid race car called 'GreenGT H2'.
Basically a hydrogen fuel cell that produces electricity to drive two electric motors which produce around 540 bhp, sitting on a bespoke chassis built by the Welter Racing team. The GreenGT H2 weights 1,240kg and a top speed of 186mph.
Personally, GreenGT team got a big ask to replicate and go further what DeltaWing done this year at Le Mans. The looks of the GreenGT H2 looks like something I have designed in a 3D animation programme. But, the Delta was an one off looking car that look so different and it can race with the likes of LMP2 cars and at the end of the day made an impression to motor racing fans and what a concept a racing car can be. The GreenGT H2 hydrogen fuel powered electric motors is a step forward in motorsport racing, if the technology side does works. It could change people mind-set of what it can do. Look at Audi for example, can you imagine them winning Le Mans with a diesel engine seven years back and making diesel engines cool and effective. So good-luck to GreenGT with their H2 for 2013 at Le Mans.
Below here is there GreenGT LMPH2 car that went around the Le Mans track as a demo run back in 2011. The LMPH2 have the same hydrogen fuel cell that produces electricity to drive two electric motors tech, instead the was around 400 bhp. Enjoy.
Also, the car did a demo run at Pau street track too back in 2011. Enjoy.
End of post/blog for now, That is all. Bye.
