'Most Advanced" car revealed.

**Adam** · 12th September 2006, 09:58 PM

A car which can travel 300 miles on a single tank of liquid hydrogen, with no carbon emissions, has been unveiled.

Ford claims it is the most significant development since cars were invented. Jon Kay reports from California.

Hm. No engine? That's kinda odd lol. I wonder about how safe the car would be too. What happens if you get in a wreck? Would the tanks explode there under the floorboards?

If it is safe and they work it all out, it'd be awesome!

I doubt it's any less dangerous than Petrol, that stuff is behind the back seats, under the floor and in front of ya in the engine!
hehe

O_o

No engine? I think I rather have one just for the fact I love retro and atleast I am not questioning it as much. I hate having mystrey things around me, I think to much and it is all bad thinking so by time I am done my eyes are O_O and all can see fear in them.

Well usually the gas tanks don't explode if they are under pressure, or just from an impact. Unless, of course, you are driving a Pinto...

The hydrogen looked like it was in pressurized tanks. That's what I was wondering about. If they crinkle under an impact, is the pressure going to make them explode? :/

y is ford saying anything about this car.. its made by GM and has chevy logos all over it?... I know ford had plans for a fuel cell car as well, and I honestly think it is an great idea and a much need step forward.. but I will be amazed if it is avilible in the next 20 years for a bunch of different reasons.

**Adri** · 13th September 2006, 11:06 PM

I'm thinking the billion dollars it took to make that one may make it a little steep in price myself. lol

If it was safe, and affordable, and actually works and wouldn't leave me stranded on the side of the road somewhere, I'd drive it. I wonder how/where you would refuel it tho?

I didn't hear anything from FORD in the clip...just GM and saw the Chevy symbol. Definitely interesting and the best way to go if it became affordable.

I think the ford bit was a typo on the news story, I just copied/pasted it

I've never figured out how to be gracefully humble without appearing weak. Nor have I figured out how to be gracefully passionate without appearing arrogant. In the end, I always seem to be arrogant and weak instead of humbly passionate.
