近日一家美国网站的编辑在加州高速路上拍到了正在测试的2016款丰田Mirai燃料电池车,当时这辆黑色原型车并未进行任何伪装。该车目前已经处于测试最后阶段，它将于明年4月首先在日本上市，随后将于夏末在欧洲和北美上市。该车基本上是丰田FCV概念车的进化版，量产版将被命名为“Mirai”（日语意思为“未来”）。丰田表示，Mirai是一辆“属于未来的车型”，同时也是“朝着实现零排放技术迈进的重要一步”。根据目前已经掌握的消息，该车续航里程为482公里，百公里加速时间约为10秒，完全注满氢燃料耗时3分钟，甚至比给普通车辆加油还快。预计该车在日本起价700万日元（约合人民币40.1万元）。

 

2016 Toyota Mirai fuel cell vehicle spotted undisguised in United States

An undisguised black prototype of the 2016 Toyota FCV has been spotted testing in United States.

 

Edmunds editor Mike Magrath photographed the vehicle on a highway in California during the final testing phase as the model is slated to go on sale at first in Japan next April, followed by Europe and North America later that summer. It's essentially an evolution of the FCV (Fuel Cell Vehicle) concept and it is believed the production model will be commercialized with the "Mirai" name.

 

Toyota says the FCV / Mirai is the "car of the future" and at the same time represents "an important step forward for zero-emission vehicle technology." Final specifications have not been provided yet but from what we know so far the fuel cell vehicle will have a range of about 300 miles (482 km) and will do the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) sprint in approximately 10 seconds. A full refill of the hydrogen tank will take roughly three minutes so it takes just a little bit more than a regular gas stop.

 

At home in Japan, the Toyota Mirai (Japanese for "future") will have an estimated starting price of seven million yen (about $65,300).
