Rowan Atkinson, who plays the series Mr Bean, recently surprised many people by speeding in a hydrogen Toyota GR Yaris or H2 Concept. This racing action was carried out by Rowan Atkinson in the series of events at the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2023 which was held from 13-16 July 2023.
The action was somewhat surprising because the car used by Mr Bean was not an ordinary car. The car has received a special touch from Toyota to be able to use hydrogen fuel.
Uniquely, even though it uses hydrogen fuel, the car looks very extraordinary when asked to run fast. This was even recognized by Rowan Atkinson, who was behind the wheel.
“I have a Toyota GR Yaris at home and this car is actually the same. It still uses a conventional engine but has experienced a slight change in the fuel system because it can use hydrogen,” said Rowan Atkinson.
The well-known actor from England even appreciated Toyota for daring to innovate hydrogen fuel. According to him, this will actually make efforts to maintain cars with conventional engines still exist.
“This is like what Formula 1 is doing when conventional engines use synthetic fuels. It’s the same as what Toyota is doing,” he explained.
He admitted that he really enjoyed driving the car made in Japan. Because he never thought that the car offers high performance.
“It’s really in a standard state,” he explained.
Carbuzz said the Toyota GR Yaris H2 Concept uses a three-cylinder turbo engine with a capacity of 1.6 liters. It’s just that what distinguishes it from the usual Toyota GR Yaris is the fuel supply and injection system, which has been adjusted to hydrogen.
“Through this car, Toyota plans to introduce alternative technologies in all of their cars and racing cars,” explained Carbuzz.
