Frankfurt (AFP) Nov 21, 2006 BMW, the German maker of luxury cars, said Tuesday that it planned to launch a new hydrogen-powered car based on its 7 Series model, initially in a very limited edition in 2007. The car will have a 12-cylinder 260 horse-power engine that can run either on liquid hydrogen or on petrol. By using hydrogen in an internal combustion engine, the car's emissions are essentially cut to nothing but water vapour. Initially, the model would be available in a very limited series, with the first cars to be sold to politicians and executives, scientists and athletes, rock stars and TV personalities in order to boost visibility for the new fuel.
