The Honda FC Sport Concept recently premiered at the LA Auto Show. It is is a design concept that shows what a hydrogen fuel cell supercar could look like sometime in the future.
“The FC Sport emphasizes the design flexibility and potential of Honda’s V Flow fuel cell technology — already deployed in the Honda FCX Clarity sedan — and reconfigures it into a lightweight sports car design with an ultralow center of gravity, powerful electric motor performance and zero emissions,” said the press materials. “People who love sports cars will still have a reason to love in a hydrogen-powered future.”
Although this is merely a concept car for Honda to gauge the excitement for this type of car and to create a buzz and will not be released to the public at the moment, you can still check out current Honda reviews at Expo like this review of the Honda Civic Sedan by Acesdrumming92:

Another Green Car being developed is the compressed air car. It is another attempt to reduce our need for the dependency of fossil fuels. The Air Car can be solely powered by air, or combined with a mix of gas, diesel or ethanol, much like the hybrids vehicles on our roads today. As long as the car stays under 35 mph, it will run completely off of the compressed air. When the air car gets above that speed, it will need to use gas or diesel to power the compressed air. All the same, it will get much better millage than a conventional car. If you’re driving inside a city, you may never even reach the 35 mph threshold, virtually running gas free.
“Motor Development International (MDI) (www.mdi.lu) is the 15 year-old French-based company headed by Guy Negre, inventor of the Air Car. A former aeronautics and Formula One racecar engineer, Mr. Negre has been working diligently with his son, Cyril, an engineer with Bugatti, and about thirty other engineers to bring the Compressed Air technology to market (CAT). To date, the company holds many patents in over 120 countries for their innovative Air Car s vehicles.
“Zero Pollution Motors is the first entity that will manufacture and sell the Air Car in the US. ZPM is run by Shiva Vencat, the exclusive representative for MDI in the United States. Find more information on Motor Development International at www.mdi.lu“
