Honda begins FCX Clarity production
The New York Times reports that yesterday the first Honda FCX Clarity rolled off the production line in Takanezawa, Japan.
The hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicle costs more than $100,000 to produce but is available to lease (only in California) for $600 per month. Honda officials chose California because of the high availability of hydrogen pumping stations.
The FCX Clarity looks like a cross between a Prius and a Mercedes CLS, is around the same size as an Acura RL, gets the equivalent of 74MPG, and can go 0-60 in under 9 seconds. One can expect to get 280 or so miles on a tank, and the best part: the only thing coming out of the tailpipe is steam.
Honda President Takeo Fukui handed Hollywood producer Ron Yerxa the keys to Clarity #001 and actress Jamie Lee Curtis will be receiving hers next week.
