The 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show will witness the world premiere of the Audi A7 Sportback H-Tron quattro concept that will preview the German brand's development in hydrogen fuel cell technology.

Billed as a "technology demonstrator", the hybrid concept is powered by a hydrogen fuel cell system, previewing the capabilities and feasibility of a hydrogen-powered Audi. So far, no performance details nor efficiency details have been divulged by the VW-owned brand but more details will be available once the veil comes off the concept.
