Yama/Toy hydrogen powered V8 prototype.



Yamada said a key goal of the project is to retain the sensual and exhilarating performance provided by an internal combustion engine, compared to the near-silent operation of an electric motor. The engine is rated at 450 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque and features a novel eight-into-one exhaust system that Yamada says creates a unique high frequency exhaust note.
