It's essentially a BMW 7-series converted to run on both liquid hydrogen and regular gasoline. BMW claims the car has undergone a full product development process (just like any other regular production car); this is partly because the Hydrogen 7 will be built in a limited series for use in the U.S. and elsewhere, and it's partly because the Bavarians just wanted to prove it could be done. Establishing the feasibility of a hydrogen-powered vehicle has been on BMW's plate for some time, and while they've waffled around a bit as to whether or not hydrogen is the way of the future, they've nevertheless continued to develop the technology.

What do you think of the Hydrogen 7? Is it a real look toward the future or a marketing stunt?
