Aston Martin is a name that needs very little introduction. It is a brand that has always stood for 
high performance sports cars designed and produced by skilled craftsmen. The British automaker has recently brought to light its intent to be known for not only offering a lavish sports car, but a fuel efficient one as well.

When you completely rely on electric engines, though you may have null emissions, there would be no performance as the technology is still under development for reaching the top speeds. Supercars are specified category which has highest performance than any other vehicle present. Aston martin’s Volare concept car runs on combination of both hydrogen fuel cells and electric motors. High power is delivered from the hydrogen fuel cell stack placed between the two front seats, the rear mounted battery pack and co-axial electric motor in the front. The weight distribution is carried in such a way that the hydrogen tanks are placed right above the rear axle for a uniform balance of the total weight. Read the rest of this entry »
