This is a 5.0-litre naturally aspirated V8 which pumps out 449bhp, 398lb ft - and no CO2. YamahaMotorEU and ToyotaMotorCorp are teaming up to save the combustion motor with hydrogen
The new engine is based on that used by the Lexus RC F sports coupé, with modifications to the injectors, heads, intake manifold and elsewhere.
“Hydrogen engines house the potential to be carbon-neutral while keeping our passion for the internal combustion engine alive at the same time," he said. “Teaming up with companies with different corporate cultures and areas of expertise as well as growing the number of partners we have is how we want to lead the way into the future.”
Yamaha says it began developing a hydrogen car engine"about five years ago", and is also working with Kawasaki on a potential use for such an engine in the motorcycle sector. Takeshi Yamada, who works in Yamaha's dedicated hydrogen engine development team, said hydrogen engines have"very fun, easy-to-use performance characteristics".
