What kind of power does this thing have?

With the right gearing, and a shape like that, you could take my 102 HP D15 and acheive that.

It's good to see a little competition from the Germans And I'm glad they acknowledge the downsides of hydrogen powered cars.

with only 105hp you'd need to follow a semi doing 150mph to come close to that top speed.

the car has a 6L v12 275hp engine.

"But....but...my D15 is a Honda!"

This thing is really cool. Too bad hydrogen combustion engines are still so inefficient...but then again, so were gas engines at the beginning.
