If that was an American engine running petrol, it would probably put out same amount of power.
No offence, its just that American engines always have huge engines but little power. Take Dodge Durango for example. 5.9l V8 with 245 hp.A Honda S200 can get 5 more hp than that with a N/A 2.0l.
But anyway, don't wanna change topic.
Great idea, BMW has been experimenting alot with hydrogen. Car looks bit ugly, Bangle maybe?

Its a truck engine, it makes great torque and sufficient power, that's how all trucks all (except the Lightning and SRT-10).
Anyways, cool thread, and an interesting concept by BMW. A little off topic, but does anyone know when hydrogen fuel cell cars will be ready to be sold to the public, I think a Honda one is being used by city officials in LA.

It seems like BMW want to be watched on the clean energy projects. They've tested some cars engined by hydrogen some years ago.
Good thing for the future

George Bush pledged to invest in developing hydrogen powered cars in the US.
What he didn't mention at the time is that he wants to use oil to create 90% of the hydrogen, rather than nuclear or renewable sources.
In an interview for BBC's Newsnight the other day, a spokesperson for Ford said that hydrogen fuel cell cars should be going on sale to the general population in 2010-2012.
