FCX Clarity review - European roads    (Score: 1, Normal) 11-25-2009 08:00

Only 18 made so far:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/car-manufacturers/honda/6501889/Honda-FCX-Clarity-review.html

Verdict: A beautiful and highly advanced vision of the future with technology that has rival car makers quaking in their beds. Honda's concentration on system efficiency, aerodynamics and light weight rather than packing ever more hydrogen into the car is typical of the marque and seems a sound R&D direction.

Good read. Two things: One, it's Tochigi and not Toshigi. And two, we went to the moon with Apollo and not Gemini. Sometimes, it makes you wonder....

One other thing...I believe the photo isn't of the clarity, but the fcx production concept before it was christened with that name.

Its good to get confirmation that, "The 400 engineers from Honda's abandoned Formula One programme are now working in fuel-cell research, electric vehicles and advanced aerodynamics."

And you are right, that's the prototype...

I really enjoy all the information I can get on the Clarity as it's truly an engineering marvel. I'm actually looking forward to more applications of similar execution.

Only 18?

That would probably make it one of the most exclusive cars in the entire world.

Probably only custom armored vehicles for government officials and the mega-wealthy are more rare. Anyone know how many Presidential limos the Secret Service maintains?

i'm pretty sure there's like 3. 2 backups.
But costing only at 300k, a base model Maybach is already more expensive.
I recall the Fcx clarity was in the upper 900ks
