Unique Attributes[]
This vehicle has no internal combustion engine (ICE) and is loosely based on a production Ford Fusion.
Criticisms[]
<<Under Construction>>
Worldwide[]
This vehicle is a prototype or experimental vehicle and as such does not meet safety or emissions standards for any market. This vehicle is meant for testing of non-production propulsion and other equipment and as such lacks several creature comforts found in other for consumption vehicles (i.e SRS Airbag, Carpeting, Radio, etc. )
Design quirks and oddities[]
Design of body is fairly close to that of a production Fusion with exception of aerodynamic improvement items (Lower ground clearance, down force enhancing rear wing, sealed radiator opening) and enhanced braking equipment (ie. parachute release assisted braking).
Awards[]
Land Speed Record benchmark for a production-based fuel cell powered car. 207.297 MPH at the Bonneville Salt Flats.
