What happens when drag racing moves beyond internal combustion and nitrous oxide? The Hyundai Greenspeed Gator, which pushes the boundaries of design and fuel cell performance. Inspired by the top fuel racers of the ‘60s, this alien shape is rooted in pure function. The overall design consists of a main fuselage with integrated roll protection and “seat sling” that hangs underneath, tied together by a center spine chassis with integral fuel cells. The giant hood blisters house the hydrogen storage tanks, and the rear wheels house gargantuan electric motors.

my only complaints are the flip up door thing, the weird looking glass(probably is there to improve aerodynamics), and the wheels are killer but for a dragster the rear tyres need to be MUCH thicker that that

If you say that to Hyundai, they would probably claim it has some gravity control device to keep it on the ground. :D
