 Retired Ford employee Rick Byrnes joined the 200 mph club at Bonneville for the third time on Wednesday as he drove the Ford Hydrogen Fusion 999 to a benchmark of 207.297 mph. This marks the first time that a production bodied (sort of) fuel cell-powered vehicle has exceeded 200 mph. After more than a year of development, construction and testing and three days of running on the desert salt, the team finally met its target. Check out AutoblogGreen for more on the technology that made this water vapor emitting car crack the double century mark.

Finished off in gray primer, the Ford Hydrogen Fusion 999 rolled out of the garage at the Transportation Research Center in Ohio this weekend. The team checked out all the systems on the vehicle, started up the fuel cell in the vehicle for the first time and then started some un-powered runs to check out the brakes and steering. A series of runs with a push start up to 60mph from a truck confirmed that details like the ability to stop in a timely manner did indeed function. Once they confirmed it would stop, it was time to see if it would go. For the full story on the development and testing of the hydrogen Fusion head over to AutoblogGreen. There's also a video after the jump.
