Eco Factor: Fuel cell-powered amphibious car.

Whenever we talk about sports cars the thing that strikes our mind first is a car with a massive engine, mind boggling speed and distinct looks that gets some heads to turn anywhere it goes. A concept car designed by DedekDesign and Mazda of Europe adds a whole new dimension to sports cars – the addition of a rack system to carry sport equipment.

The car is to be powered by hydrogen fuel cells to ensure that all that comes out of the exhaust is pure water. Just like the Rinspeed Scuba, this car too is designed to drive in water. Another innovative feature to be incorporated in this car is the use of an anti-vandal parking system that takes care of some parking woes.

The Dark Side:

The car does show the future of transport with the use of fuel cells. However, a car that floats or drives on water has no practical use for now and even if the car is commercially developed, we don’t see many people interested in paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for a car that can take you fishing.
