(CNN) Hyperion, a California-based company, has unveiled a hydrogen-powered supercar the company hopes will change the way people view hydrogen fuel cell technology. The Hyperion XP-1 will be able to drive for up to 1,000 miles on one tank of compressed hydrogen gas and its electric motors will generate more than 1,000 horsepower, according to the company. Hydrogen fuel cell cars are electric cars that use hydrogen to generate power inside the car rather than using batteries to store energy. The Hyperion XP-1's main purpose is to generate interest in hydrogen power, the company's CEO said. Many car companies, including Honda Toyota , Hyundai and General Motors , have produced hydrogen fuel vehicles for research purposes or for sale in small numbers.
