This may be old news, but I was watching Speedvision this eveneing and they had a feature on Hydrogen-powered cars. They said BMW was the only car manufacturer currently ready to produce such cars, and within 5 years the gas stations would be equiped to service them. BMW seemed to be launching a Europe-wide marketing initiative with 7 Series cars acting as billboards.
Are any of you engineer types familiar with this technology? I'm mostly curious as to what this means for motorsports and enthusiasts like us in terms of performance. Could hydrogen cars produce the power that petrol cars do?
