If adopting hydrogen as the new fuel means driving around in a BMW 760i, sign us up pronto. Wven with the limited trunk space and loss of rear seat legroom, this is still the more powerful and luxurious hydrogen car – by a long shot. Who cares if the prototype has its limitations -- today is one thing, tomorrow another, and it will surely bring with it new developments in the size, heft and range of their hydrogen technology, making this a remarkable, trend-setting vehicle. Then again, BMW may give a few to celebrities on lease and then quietly shove the whole program in the closet. Instead of that, we hope to see hydrogen dual-mode powertrains available on virtually all BMW models one day.
