Gazoo Racing AE86 Hydrogen and EV concepts

[banpei]

I recall watching this video by Engineering Explained about the Yamaha/Toyota Hydrogen V8:

The conclusion was that the Lexus RC-F was only able to drive for about 50 miles on hydrogen on its normal fuel tank size. If 300 miles range was necessary it would need a tank of at least 105 gallons.
The Mirai has 5.6kg of Hydrogen stored in 3 tanks. Gazoo mounted only 2 tanks in this Trueno, so it would contain 3.7kg of Hydrogen. The AE86 has a combined mileage of 31mpg, so that would give us 115 miles (186 kilometres) range. The latest Nissan Leaf has a range of 149 miles, so at least it's not much worse than that!

On the Tokyo Auto Salon stand the Levin has the E and V of LEVIN filled in to do a wordplay on EV. Also the rear reads APEX NON CAM 0. I think they did this as a last minute joke as these aren't in this video. You can find the photos here:

If you look close enough you can see the APEX NON CAM 0 has no gradient and has been cut from black vinyl (like the AEU86 stickers) and the Toyota Corolla LEVIN is an original sticker where the LEVIN part has been filled in by pasting some cut vinyl over it as the black borders are messy.
