Charlize Theron's Car

Charlize Theron is not car collection hobby, so she don’t like a luxuary car that is very expensive but may not friendly. She more like a friendly car like Toyota Hydride fuel car.

''Whale Rider'' star Keisha Castle-Hughes doesn't want to ride a whale-sized limousine to Sunday's Academy Awards. Instead, she'll be pulling up to the red carpet in an environmentally-friendly hybrid fuel car, as will fellow nominees Charlize Theron, Marcia Gay Harden, Tim Robbins, and Sting, as well as presenters Robin Williams, Jack Black, and Will Ferrell. ''Even though I am not old enough to drive, I am old enough to know that the environment is in danger,'' said the 13-year-old Best Actress contender in a statement. ''By taking a hybrid car to the Oscars, I can show my support for helping our planet.''

For the second year in a row, environmental group Global Green USA is providing a fleet of Toyota Priuses, which get up to 60 miles per gallon in the city, to drive ecology-minded stars to the Oscars, although Ferrell could easily drive to the Kodak Theatre in his own. ''I absolutely love our Prius,'' the ''Elf'' star said in a statement. ''In addition to being obviously economical and environmentally friendly, they drive great and are just plain SEXY!!! There's no reason all Americans shouldn't be driving hybrid cars.''

Fuel Cell Vehicle - Honda

New automobile technology has improved and many new design of mobile, they focus on global market oriented, besides always improving their design on beauty and safe. Their design now, very affected by news lately that the lack of oil fuel as power source will considerate by many people to buy a new car model.

The FCX Clarity is a next-generation, zero-emissions, hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicle based on the entirely-new Honda V Flow fuel cell platform, and powered by the highly compact, efficient and powerful Honda V Flow fuel cell stack. Featuring tremendous improvements to driving range, power, weight and efficiency - and boasting a low-slung, dynamic and sophisticated appearance, previously unachievable in a fuel cell vehicle - the FCX Clarity marks the significant progress Honda continues to make in advancing the real-world performance and appeal of the hydrogen-powered fuel cell car.

How It WorksThe FCX Clarity utilizes Honda's V Flow stack in combination with a new compact and efficient lithium ion battery pack and a single hydrogen storage tank to power the vehicle's electric drive motor. The fuel cell stack operates as the vehicle's main power source. Hydrogen combines with atmospheric oxygen in the fuel cell stack, where chemical energy from the reaction is converted into electric power used to propel the vehicle. Additional energy captured through regenerative braking and deceleration is stored in the lithium ion battery pack, and used to supplement power from the fuel cell, when needed. The vehicle's only emission is water. Honda V Flow Fuel Cell PlatformThe FCX Clarity's revolutionary new V Flow platform packages the ultra-compact, lightweight and powerful Honda V Flow fuel cell stack (65 percent smaller than the previous Honda FC stack) in the vehicle's center tunnel, between the two front seats. Taking advantage of a completely new cell configuration, the vertically-oriented stack achieves an output of 100 kilowatts (kW) (versus 86kW in the current Honda FC stack) with a 50 percent increase in output density by volume (67 percent by mass). Its compact size allows for a more spacious interior and more efficient packaging of other power train components, which would otherwise be unattainable in a sleek, low-slung sedan.
