The brand new FCV-R concept bowed at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show earlier today. It’s supposed to be a practical sedan-type next-generation fuel-cell concept vehicle. The vehicle combines the next generation of hydrogen-powered tech with looks that come from the Prius family.
Toyota plans to actually bring a production version of the car to the mass market by 2015, so we have to take the tear-dropped sedan very seriously. They say that the 70 MPa fuel tank hold enough hydrogen for a 700 km (435 miles).
But the concept is also interesting for its bold design lines that are also supposed to be aerodynamically. Inside, the FCV-R offers a digital instrument cluster, a massive infotainment system that looks like an iPad and a large bevel underneath that looks the tiny tables you get with your airplane seat.
