Californian start-up Hyperion is edging
ever closer to unveiling its first vehicle, a hydrogen-powered supercar that we
were initially meant to see at the New York Auto Show a few months ago.
The car, known as the XP-1, will feature a
hydrogen powertrain which Hyperion says will help it to “usher in a new
frontier of automotive technology.” The company proudly states that it will
outperform modern sports cars while “boasting unprecedented range, refuel time,
endurance, and recyclability, especially when compared to today’s
battery-electric vehicles.”
While a brief teaser video has been
released, it doesn’t actually show the car itself. Fortunately, a number of
teaser images do provide us with a good look at the XP-1’s exterior design, and
as far as we can tell, it will certainly be unique.
At the front, the hydrogen-powered XP-1
will feature a set of slim LED headlights as well as a rounded front grille. We
can also see prominent front wheel arches and a low-slung roofline. A side
image released back in January reveals the car will be quite small in size,
with a short front overhang and prominent rear wheel arches.
The Hyperion XP-1 will be unveiled next
month.
