Mega Ford aims to reach 250mph

23rd July 2007

How about this for a mean but green machine? It’s Ford’s new alternative fuel land speed record car – the Fusion Hydrogen 999. As the name suggests, it’s powered by a bank of hydrogen fuel cells which, together with an electric motor, produce 770bhp.

These are packed inside the US-only Fusion saloon – which features special aerodynamic tweaks to its bodyshell – and it’s expected that a top speed of more than 250mph will be reached on the Bonneville Salt Flats in the US early next month, setting a new world record for alternative fuelled vehicles.

The car has been designed in partnership with tuning company Roush and the Ohio State University. It will be driven by Rick Byrnes, a veteran of speed racing at Bonneville.
