Take a small, lightweight (carbon fiber?) body, add a hybrid fuel cell powertrain and electric motors *and* an electronically controlled suspension *in the wheels* and you end up with a car that can go 400km on a tank of hydrogen and corner at *1g*. :cool:

interesting suspension, but the range is still kind of low to make it useful as a production car. It will be interesting to see if they develop this further.
