The Honda FCX Clarity is a hydrogen fuel cell automobile manufactured by Honda. The hydrogen is stored into two separate containers behind the rear seat. This fuel cell-powered FCX concept will be unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show. And limited production of this concept model is to begin in 2008 in Japan and the United States.

This model used first fuel cell developed in-house by Honda called the Honda FC Stack. “Honda is now committed to using pure gaseous hydrogen (not, for instance, reforming methanol onboard), and the FCX's 8.3 pounds of H2 is stored in two 5000-psi (41-gallon total capacity) aluminum tanks robustly wrapped in layers of carbon fiber and fiberglass. But in a major departure from conventional fuel-cell vehicle architecture, Honda's power train includes electricity-storing ultra capacitors instead of the more common battery.”

The interior features curves in the rear fenders that causes smooth rumps. The steeply shaped windshield is not at all very practical, but it adds appeal to the car. Under the hood is a familiar looking radiator and air intake. The speedometer assembly resembles the Eye of Sauron style gauge which also displays the brake and power usage.

I really feel that this car model will sell so well. One reason is because it is a Honda, and no one can name one model of it that doesn't sell. Car companies would be smart to start installing hydrogen filling stations at dealerships. Honda will completely kick ass if this will roll out by this year.
