For this week's

For this week's #throwbackthursdays  ?, I look back to 2007 when I joined a small group of journalists and engineers from General Motors on a 300 mile drive across New York state in a pair of fuel cell concept vehicles

Among the participants were my future colleagues John McCormick and Scott Anderson as well GM's then R&D chief Larry Burns and and advanced concepts director Chris Boronni-Bird. Last week at #Naias2015? , +TOYOTA , +Honda  and +Hyundai Worldwide all showed their latest fuel cell vehicles with drive systems designed for mass production. GM was not showing any fuel cell technology at the show, but spokesman Tom Read confirmed that more than 200 fuel engineers are now working out of GM's powertrain engineering center in Pontiac, MI to bring their system to market by the end of this decade.?

+McLaren will officially unveil the P1 GTR at the Geneva Motor Show in March. The press release doesn't say what they are doing with the hybrid system in the car although current GTE rules don't allow electric assist. If the new 2016 rules enable hybrids in GTE, we could see a P1 with a smaller battery and no plug taking on the expected +Ford Racing GT and potentially even the +Honda / +Acura NSX plus the long rumored mid-engine Corvette C8.R and of course the traditional challengers from Porsche, Ferrari, Aston Martin, BMW and even Audi. ?
