Considering it’s a Fuel Cell Vehicle and probably weighs more than a regular X-Trail, a time of 11 minutes and 58 seconds isn’t that bad. Also it’s the only Fuel Cell Vehicle ever track tested on the Nurburgring. So Nissan and Greenpeace should both be proud - a fast cross-over Fuel Cell Vehicle that’s friendly on the environment!
The X-Trail FCV runs purely on electricity produced by the hydrogen fuel cell stack and so emits zero emissions and runs without so much as a whisper. The regular gas drinking engine has been replaced by an equally powerful electric motor that produces up to 120 horsepower. Although some of the uphill sections were challenging for the X-Trail FCV it was still able to complete the run and clock-in a respectable time to boot. Toyota and Honda may take their own Fuel Cell Vehicles to the track, not wanting to be out done by Nissan.
