The Toyota Mirai is truly a wonder car – where this particular fuel cell sedan has been touted to feature a 300 mile range before requiring a refill of its solitary hydrogen tank. Well, Toyota has been quite the driver (pardon the pun) for green technology on our roads, and in the world of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, they hope that the Mirai would turn out to be another winner like how the Prius took the hybrid world by storm. Having said that, Toyota has strong belief that it will be able to achieve a sales figure of approximately 700 FCEVs thereabouts in its maiden year of worldwide sales. Apart from that, Toyota does not want to put all of their eggs in a single basket, which is why it has been rumored that the Japanese automaker intends to release a new Lexus LS that will run on similar fuel-cell technology.
If that were to be the case, then it is most likely that a Lexus LS FCEV would be released by the time 2017 rolls around, which would reside at the flagship level of the range. Whispers have it that the front end of this ride will feature larger air intakes in order to cool down the electrical components, while the fuel cell is touted to be located right under the front seat with the hydrogen tanks being placed under and behind the rear seat.
