This thing is rather large:
Sequel, about the size of a Cadillac SRX, travels up to 300 miles on its hydrogen supply, and accelerates to 60 mph in less than 10 seconds. Current-generation fuel cell vehicles have a range of between 170 and 250 miles and cover 0-60 mph in between 12-16 seconds, depending upon whether a battery is used.
But this is a step away from the usual unibody or ladder frame...interesting:
“With Sequel,” Burns said, “virtually everything is packaged in an 11-inch ‘skateboard’ chassis, building on what we first showed the world in the AUTOnomy and Hy-wire. Sequel points to a vehicle that, in the future, will be better in nearly every way – quicker, surer-footed, easier to handle, easier to build, better looking, safer and only emits water vapor.”
