The New York Auto Show is still months away, but California-based Hyperion will use the event to introduce what appears to be a supercar. Little is known about the model, but the company specializes in hydrogen generation, storage and propulsion. Now, their consumer products division is promising to “introduce space-age technology for the road” through Hyperion Motors.

That’s not much to go on, but the company teased “This next generation of Hyperion products are being developed with NASA to deliver some of the most advanced technologies on Earth.” The firm is keeping details under wraps, but a quick check online shows they were teasing a vehicle as far back as 2015. Hyperion Motors then went silent for approximately three years, before teasing the model last January and promising “The cover comes off in 2019, buckle up!”


Let’s hope no one took their advice seriously as 2019 came and went without any sign of the car. However, that will apparently change this April. While there’s no word on specifics, the teaser image appear to show a stylish supercar with bulging fenders and a canopy-like greenhouse. However, earlier pictures depict an ungainly four-door sedan with an old school rear end.

Whatever form the vehicle takes, it will likely run on hydrogen given Hyperion’s focus and a recent Facebook post noting “Hydrogen, born of water, creates pure energy as it passes through a fuel cell to become water once more.”

Of course, the model could also run on buzzwords considering Hyperion’s vague promises of “casting aside the status quo” and “beauty without limits.”
