Re:World's fastest hydrogen car
At the 2003 Tokyo Motor Show, Mazda is also presenting a number of technologies currently being developed that could help support the potential for a futuristic hydrogen rotary system.
These next-generation technologies are being refined to help achieve the dual goals of drivability comparable with gasoline cars and excellent efficiency derived from the practical use of energy. An example of these technologies includes an electric-motorassisted turbocharger to enhance the efficiency of hydrogen combustion and regeneration of energy from the car's exhaust. Additionally, in an effort to capitalize on existing hybrid technology, Mazda continues to refine the idle-stop system; regenerative braking systems; electric acceleration assistance systems; and other means of improving the efficiency of the entire vehicle. By combining these various technologies, Mazda is aiming to achieve advanced clean-running vehicles that also deliver an exceptional driving experience in line with the company's ZoomZoom spirit.

Re:World's fastest hydrogen car
agree.. you gotta look at the BIG PICTURE.
yes. the car itself has near if not Zero emissions. but the emissions from the plant that creates enough electricity to make hydrogen far exceeds the emissions savings with the actual car.
The only thing really holding this back is 2 things.
1. Wide availability of hydrogen for "gas stations"
2. an effiecent way of creating hydrogen for those stations.

Re:World's fastest hydrogen car
There's one hydrogen filling station just down my street, it makes the hydrogen on the spot.
We generate all our power with turbines
Turbines turned by water pressure from dams or hot steam coming out of the ground.
