BMW have announced that their H2R Hydrogen Gas powered car has set nine world speed records with a top speed of 174 mph.
The BMW H2R also went from 0 to 60 mph in under 6 seconds and produces 232 horsepower.
The BMW H2R is, unfortunately, just a single seat test car based upon the engine from the BMW 7 series, and even if you could buy one you would spend most of your time searching for gas stations that sell hydrogen.
