Honda FCX.
I know this car has been in R & D for a little bit. L.A. has finally approval for the first shipment of these bad boys. Its a heavy car due to the fuel cells and it really can't go that far, but it is a cool step forward. This **** has 80hp and 201lbs torque!!!! Yes, it looks like it can take most other hondas off the line, but sure as hell won't make it down the track fast. It produces water as a its exhaust, which is cool!

Welcome to the Future
Take one look at the Honda FCX and you’ll think you’ve been transported into the future. The FCX is the world’s first fuel-cell vehicle to be certified for everyday use by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Both government agencies have categorized it as a Zero- Emission Vehicle (ZEV).
The only emission the FCX produces is water vapor. That’s because a revolutionary technology allows the FCX to power its motor with electricity generated from a hydrogen-oxygen chemical reaction. With a maximum output of 80 horsepower and 201 foot-pounds of torque, the FCX’s acceleration is similar to a Honda Civic. And with a range of up to 220 miles and seating for four people, the FCX is a practical vehicle for today’s world.
Honda plans to lease approximately 30 fuel-cell cars in California and Japan during the next several years. So there will be even more instances where this groundbreaking technology will see everyday use. And yes, you’re still living in the 21st century.
