Although EV sales are growing, Hyundai in collaboration with Forze Hydrogen Racing has created the fastest EV on fuel cells. It is a Forze IX race car with an alternative type of zero-emission fuel.
Weighing 3,307-pound (1,500 kg), the Forze IX reaches a top speed of 186 mph (300 km / h) thanks to 805 hp and all-wheel drive. Maximum power is provided by two fuel cell systems. It will accelerate from 0-62 mph in less than three seconds. The Forze IX is expected to be the fastest fuel cell race car.
“Forze is an exciting team made up of some of the brightest young minds, and with a proven pedigree of bringing fuel cell mobility to the race track. Hyundai is delighted to enter into this partnership with Forze. By drawing on our leadership in fuel cell mobility and Forze’s ambition to take hydrogen to the next level, together we will push the boundaries of what’s possible in the development of zero-emissions racing. “
