Well all the same marketing hype was made about the original Renesis back in late 2003. I'd be hesitant on being first in line to buy one ...

That's the hydrogen powered 13B-MSP engine display in the Mazda Museum. It's been on display since at least mid 2007. It's not a turbocharged 16X engine.

Man, that's a pretty decently sized turbocharger on that thing too. Would be cool to have a factory forced induction unit. Still interesting to see, though.
