This is a sweet ride. It’s a hydrogen fuel-cell supercar which accelerates from 0-60 in 2.9 seconds. Yes, I said 2.9 seconds. Wear a G-suit. That’s a full second faster than the Tesla Roadster.
So far, I have seen no reports of this car being driven or shown publicly, though Vision Motors is saying it will be in limited production next year. It’s called the Cheetah Vision, not to be confused with 50 Cent’s new film company of the same name. I found it while reading a press release on the company’s new deal with Freightliner for their h/f-c trucks (that’ll be another post).
The body is reminiscent of a Lamborghini or maybe a Corvette, but I can’t place exactly what model. Regardless, it is pretty wicked looking. Ya, I said “wicked.” I realize it dates me.
Here’s some specs from Vision:
- Vision Hydrogen Drive (plug-in hydrogen fuel-cell hybrid)
- 2,640 curb weight
- Carries 4.8kg of gaseous hydrogen
- Range of 350 miles (estimated)
- 425 horsepower output with 1,350lb ft torque
- 0-60 in 2.9 seconds (estimated)
