Audi's h-tron quattro concept fuels up in 4 minutes, boasts 124 mph speedJanuary 12, 2016 - 10:24 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Audi's has unveiled its h-tron quattro, a hydrogen-powered concept car with a Tesla-beating range of 372 miles, Engadget reports. It has three fuel tanks hidden beneath the passenger or luggage compartments which can be replenished in just four minutes. The fuel cell has an output of up to 110 kW, supported by a lithium-ion battery which supplies a further 100 kW for short, temporary bursts of acceleration. While you're driving, this secondary power source then slowly recharges every time you tap the brake. The car is more than just a quick-refuelling stamina champ though. It boasts a top speed of 124 mph and can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in under seven seconds -- nothing race-worthy, but nippy enough for the freeway. The fuel cell and the high-voltage battery power two electric motors, which are located on the front and rear axles for 90 kW and 140 kW of power respectively. Rounding out the car's green credentials are a heat pump for the interior air conditioning and a solar roof that generates up to 320 watts of power, or an extra 620 miles of driving each year.
