Good question. Personally, I'll compensate my driving a petrol car by having our roof covered in solar panels....
If I'd have to guess, in the end hydrogen cars should be more fun to drive. But that's based on how heavy batteries are. And I haven't got a clue on how the store the h2.
Hydrogen cars seem complicated, just the way toyota wants so they can charge owners more service fees.
Fun on the racetrack, could have a harsh ride on the road ?
Probably a little, but it is a sporty car:
He says: it’s a bit too firmly sprung for me..........then he says: Buy one.
I bet he doesn't buy one with that bumpy ride for road use? It's probably just good for the track ?
Would you buy one ?
I’d love one, but then I already have a car which is a bit too firm! :) Very few things are perfect, you just pick the closest to what you’re looking for.
I'd rather buy a second hand 370Z........
Looks amazing......... :)>-
2021 Subaru BRZ
On fire.
It is mentioned and gets a couple of paragraphs and a photo, but not a huge amount of detail I'm afraid.
Interesting, I still don't love its looks but it does seem a lot better. It always looked a bit ungainly before. This seems a more flattering photo:
I spent a day sliding a lot in one of those, they are good fun.
If they direct the fire in the right way......
Toyota Hydrogen-powered cars is a strange decision ?
Oh personally I think H2 is definately the way foreward, the battery powered cars are an intermediate stage. Unless i.e. iron-combustion engines will come along.

With all the piping we already have in this country for LNG, H2 would be a very good alternative.
Absolutely, I don't see why it would seem strange to pursue it. I believe at the moment it's still the process of packaging it up which uses too much energy, but hopefully they'll get there.
Interesting: I've not heard of that one before. Seems slightly magical in a way: a re-burnable fuel? Cool if they can get it to work though.
Using electricity to make H2. then using H2 to generate electricity. It doesn't make any sense.
It seems to me toyota is more interested in providing complex FIREBALLS so they can make money out of servicing,replacement parts etc
Having an accident in one of these cars is dangerous.
Glad they didn't just forget about it. Thanks!
It helps overcome one of the major issues with electricity: getting the energy to the right place at the right time. Solar energy, i.e. needs to be stored when overproducing during the day, whilst not-producing during the night. Now battaries are one option, but they need (for now) very rare metals. H2 could help fill that gap. As, apparently, iron. You no doubt know that most of the electricity produced today still comes from burning coal or LNG. Both are not very good for our climate. Burning H2 however doesn't produce CO2.
Having an accident in one of these cars isn't much more dangerous than one in a petrol car, as you could see in the video above. It burns very fast and hot, yes, but doesn't engulf it's surroundings like gasoline does.
It seems like everything is decently covered in it although it doesn't really go in-depth hugely: I enjoyed the bit I read today about some of the vehicles planned for Moonraker- including a Winnebago-style thing with a mid-engined sportscar which would emerge from the front!

Precisely. Great minds think alike :)>-
Will it be a SUV, a GT or a supercar?

The original Mercury Cougar, driven by Tracy Draco, in OHMSS, is for sale at Bonhams:
It has been carefully restored to how it looked like in the movie. They even found the matching pairs of skis. Let's see how much I am going to bid, and then I'm off with it to the Schilthorn.
