A fuel cell in this case. Viritech has set itself the goal of rethinking the design of a hydrogen fuel cell car by integrating all the components and their interactions. The Apricale is thus the first zero-emission hypercar since the battery produces the electricity necessary to power either the batteries, or the 2 electric motors totalling 1000 hp. or both at the same time. With this system, the batteries are 10 times smaller than those in an electric car. The mass is thus that of a light thermal sports car, i.e. around 1000 kg. The whole is covered with bodywork designed by Pininfarina.
