The Golden Globe Winner to be among the first Americans to hit the road in a
BMW Hydrogen 7
Woodcliff Lake, NJ. Arrested Development star Jason Bateman received a new set
of wheels. BMW announced that he is the latest person to receive the keys to a
BMW Hydrogen 7 - the world's first hydrogen-powered luxury sedan. The BMW
Hydrogen 7 melds the polished luxury of BMW's largest sedan with the virtually
emission-free power of a hydrogen combustion engine.
The BMW Pioneer Program gives industry leaders and prominent figures in
entertainment, politics and business a BMW Hydrogen 7 for their daily use as
proof that hydrogen powered vehicles can be viable for everyday driving.
Bateman is the newest member of a group that includes Will Ferrell, Jay Leno,
Ed Norton, and Cameron Diaz, among others, to opt for a BMW Hydrogen 7 as their
energy-efficient ride of choice.
"Driving in the H7 is like being in a time machine - a full size luxury time
machine... with power windows," said Bateman. "And in the future people are
smart; they pump water instead of gas! Hopefully someday soon I'll be able to
buy one of these beautiful cars so I can get back to the future."
In addition to memorable roles in films like The Kingdom and Smokin' Aces,
Bateman was most recently seen as Michael Loring in the critically acclaimed
and Oscar-nominated film, Juno, and will also be seen in this summer's
action-comedy film Hancock.
Previously announced members of the BMW Hydrogen 7 Pioneer Program include Will
Ferrell, Jay Leno, opera star Placido Domingo, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie,
Richard Gere, Sharon Stone, Oscar® Award-winning producer Davis Guggenheim ("An
Inconvenient Truth"), and famed director Steve Gaghan, among others. The
vehicle has also made an impact oversees, with luminaries such as Michael Glos,
German Federal Minister for Economy and Technology, and Günter Verheugen, Vice
President of the European Commission, and many others.
