The Aston Martin Rapide S also served as the basis for some developments in the sports field, with the experimentation of new energy sources. A hydrogen hybrid was deployed at the 2013 Nurburgring 24 Hours, in the ET-EX category reserved for alternative technologies. Four carbon tanks (two in the trunk and two in the passenger compartment) made it possible to store 3.5kg of hydrogen in a gaseous state with a pressure of 350 bar. In hydrogen mode, the car was able to cover a complete lap of the circuit; the rest of the power supply was guaranteed by a petrol engine. This technique was developed in collaboration with the Austrian company Alset Global.
