Aston Martin completes first hydrogen-powered Nurburgring lap

Aston Martin CEO Dr Ulrich Bez piloted a unique Rapide S around the Nordschleife circuit at Germany's famous Nurburgring last weekend.

The car is the latest engineering feat to come out of Aston Martin's racing division and it can run on either hydrogen or petrol, meaning it is eligible to enter the formal record attempt for fastest lap set by a zero-emissions car at the Nurburgring 24 Hours race in a few weeks' time.
