If a fuel cell powered vehicle could be made powerful enough to rival the S4 (or any performance vehicle of your choice), would you go for it? Imagine, it could have a motor for each wheel, eliminating all the gearboxes, differentials and shafts. The motors will have maximum torque available from zero RPM. The motors could perform the braking function also, so no more brake fade (unless the coils burn out). If you like stealth, all you would hear is tire noise and motor whine. What do you think?
