Ok so i am probably behind the times considering a post i had found about this car was dated a year old – just as the recession was starting to bite but either way i had not heard of it until now and i was intrigued.
Allegedly the Fiat Phylla is the answer to the fuel price crunch. The car is a hydrogen energized trail electric car also powered by solar cells. The concept is a forerunner to Fiats new Topolino mini family car resulting in an urban car costing 10x less than the conventional petrol powered vehicle.
Designed with 15 inch green coloured wheels the car reaches 30mph in less than 6 seconds showing off a respectable 72 horses under the bonnet. It can reach an impressive speed of 81 mph. It is a fine example of futuristic and economic design combined with unique pioneering engineering – it’s not quite the traditional car we’re used but solar powered and hydrogen fuelled makes this little car the perfect city car.
It can be speculated to hit the US market in mid 2010 at around $20,000 but with this slightly heavy price tag the environmentally friendly car is worth the wait.
