Here is the hydrogen powered turbo hybrid RX8 for the wacko market.
The turbo is electric assisted for rapid spin up.
Very few show go'ers had any interest at all. They were all
looking at the normal practical RX8's in the back of the booth.
Europeans are not technical dummies.

The large hydrogen tank took up most of the trunk space
but what the hey... it runs off something other than wacko hated gasoline.

hydrogen would retail about 3 time equiv btu gasoline, and take 10
times as much room - how far can you go on about 3 gallons in
an over 4000 psi bomb. Vance
