The Mazda HR-X was the first hydrogen powered concept car that Mazda produced, unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show in 1991 and shown in New York in 1992. Mazda developed it at its plant in the Aki District of Hiroshima to showcase hydrogen as a cleaner fuel. A four-seat shell made of nearly completely recyclable plastic, entered through gull-wing doors, it was 3,850 mm long and weighed 1,260 kilograms. A two-rotor Wankel engine of 100 horsepower ran on hydrogen stored in a metal hydride tank, giving a top speed of 130 km/h and a range of 190 km. Only one example was displayed, and a more conventional HR-X 2 followed a year later.
