The innovative LMPH2G hydrogen-powered endurance race car from Michelin will make its UK debut at the upcoming Goodwood Festival of Speed. The vehicle will be driven up the hillclimb on each day of the event and will also be featured in the Michelin Supercar Paddock.
Michelin created the LMPH2G alongside hydrogen fuel cell maker Symbio, a joint venture it operates with Faurecia. It exists as a preview of an electric-hydrogen category at the 24 Hours of Le Mans that will debut in 2024. The racer features a four-stack hydrogen fuel cell powering four electric motors to pump out a combined 653 hp and has a claimed top speed exceeding 300 km/h.
At Goodwood, Michelin will also unveil a race tire made up of 46 per cent sustainable raw materials including recycled carbon black from end of life tires, orange and lemon peel, sunflower oil, pine resin, and recycled steel from packaging. Michelin has committed to 40 per cent of all materials used in its tires being sustainable by 2030. By 2050, 100 per cent of Michelin’s tires will be made from sustainable materials.
