AUDI E-TRON GT

We look forward to Spiderman's choice in hot wheels, Audi's sleek

e-tron GT, which Audi has confirmed will be built in the same production

facilities as the R8...interesting. The rumour mill continues to churn for

the adored, poster-worthy R8. Will engineers replace the V10 with a

full battery electric system? Could they power their supercar with a

hydrogen fuel cell? It would be a shame if Audi retired the R8; it's such

a showstopper, so they must electrify it somehow. Let's think positively

charged thoughts.

HYUNDAI NEXO

For the past several years, the Korean automaker has been "all in" on
hydrogen while the German automakers play catch-up. In a matte
charcoal shade, this SUV looks just cool enough to make our list for the
early adopters who will get an impressive 570 km range out of one tank.
Hyundai is cranking up production of this first-to-market fuel cell SUV,
but demand is so strong for the car in their home country, they did not
have quantities enough to send to Canadian dealers this year. But they
are coming. Pricing will start at $73,000. If you would like to try before
you buy in Vancouver, join Modo. The car-sharing network currently has
two in its fleet.
