【News】Ideal range of 560km, British hydrogen-fuelled supercar debuts

VIRITECH, a British start-up specialising in hydrogen fuel development, has unveiled its Apricale hydrogen-fuelled supercar, which made its debut at the Goodwood Carnival of Speed with a maximum horsepower of 1,073 and weighing less than 1,000kg. Production of the Apricale will begin in 2023, with delivery expected in early 2024, but only 25 units will be produced, and the car will cost £1.5 million (around R12.4 million).

British start-up VIRITECH, a company specialising in hydrogen fuel power, is also benefiting from VIRITECH's Graph-Pro technology, which uses a lightweight composite material and graphene resin to make a hydrogen tank mounted in a carbon fibre monocoque chassis in a one-piece chassis design, which will effectively reduce the weight of the car.

The Apricale also has an energy management system called Tri-Volt, which will run on a 6kWh battery for low-speed driving, a fuel cell for normal driving and a battery plus a fuel cell for high-speed driving, depending on the mode of operation.

According to VIRITECH, the Apricale has a maximum horsepower of 1073 and can accelerate from zero to 60 mph (approximately 97 km/h) in less than 2.5 seconds, with a top speed of over 322 km/h. Although no detailed range figures have been revealed, the ideal range of the hydrogen tank at 700 bar pressure, when fully charged, is 560 km.
