The BMW H2R ("Hydrogen Record Car") is one of the first of a new breed of racecars adapted to run on liquid hydrogen fuel. Conceived and developed in the relatively short time of 10 months, it has set nine international speed records at the Miramas Proving Grounds in France.

The H2R’s 6.0-liter V-12 engine, which draws on BMW's Valvetronic and Double-VANOS technology, is based on the 760i’s gasoline-fueled powerplant. This H2-powered high performer generates 232 horsepower, helping it to achieve a top speed of over 187.62 mph (302 km/h).

On the high-speed track at Miramas the BMW H2R set nine international and FIA-ratified records with hydrogen combustion engines.

* Maximum speed: 300.175 km/h (186.52 mph)
* Engine: twelve-cylinder hydrogen concept engine
* Nominal engine power: 210 kW / 282 bhp
* Bodyshell: aluminium space frame structure
* Outer shell: carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic
* Vehicle dimensions: 5.40 metres (212.6 in) long, 2.01 metres (79.1 in) wide, 1.34 metres (52.8 in) high
* Vehicle weight including driver: 1560 kg (3439 lb)
* Drag coefficient (cw): 0.21
