Yamaha is reportedly developing a 5-litre hydrogen-powered V8 engine for Toyota.

The new engine is based on the conventional naturally aspirated gasoline engine used in the Lexus RC F sports coupe, with modifications to injectors, heads, intake manifold and other components.

The power of the hydrogen version will be 450 hp. at 6800 rpm, and the torque is declared equal to 540 Nm at 3600 rpm. The original engine, which was taken as a basis, has 477 hp. and 536 Nm of torque.

It should be clarified that we are talking about an engine that will directly use hydrogen as fuel. Current mass-produced hydrogen cars work differently: they use hydrogenerate electricity, and it is the electric motor that drives the car.

So far, there is no evidence that the upcoming five-liter monster will be installed in production cars. Recall that Toyota has already experimented with a similar engine, releasing an upgraded version of the Yaris PC to the track.
