When creating the car, Hartge wanted to show everyone what for LPG vehicles absolute high speed and environmental protection do not stand under any circumstances in contradiction. The university for Technology and Economics in Saarbruecken and the professional school Kaiserslautern stand for the project planning, idealistic promoters are the Federal Ministry for Environment, Nature Protection and Reactor Safety and the Ministry for Economics and Work of the Saarland. The tuning program will be carried out by Hartge.

The Hartge BMW 1 Series V300 plus comes to prove those prejudices wrong. The goal of the Hartge BMW 1 Series V300 plus is to reach 300km/h.

The Hartge BMW 1 Series V300 plus will produce 550 hp and will be the fastest LPG car at the moment.
