You'll soon be able to buy this futuristic-looking, hydrogen car with a 300-mile range
The Rasa boasts a range of 300 miles and is super light-weight, coming in at under 1,300 pounds.
It has four electrics motors over each wheel and recovers 50% of kinetic energy from braking.
The car's hydrogen fuel cell gives it its cruising speed, while the energy recovered from braking is used to boost acceleration.
It was designed by Chris Reitz, the former design chief for the Fiat 500.
Which explains the car's beautiful, vintage aesthetic appeal!
The steering wheel is wrapped in a material called alcantara — giving it a velvety, luxurious feel.
The Rasa is currently a prototype, but Riversimple is raising funds to build 20 cars that can be driven by 60 to 80 UK residents as part of a three- to six-month lease in 2017.
Riversimple is also aiming to get a commercial version of the Rasa on the market in 2018. There's no word on price yet.
Here's hoping we can drive one soon!
