It utilises hydrogen fuel cells and has an electric motor on each of the four wheels.[4] All four motors combined give the Quark 28 kW (38 hp). It can drive approximately 130 kilometres (81 mi) before it requires refueling. The Quark is 2.38 metres (94 in) long and 1.50 metres (59 in) wide. The empty weight is 450 kg (992 lb) and its top speed is 110 km/h (68 mph).[5]

It can accelerate to 50 km/h (31 mph) in 6.5 seconds, and can carry two people with an additional load of 140 kg (309 lb). The Quark was not intended for production. It can now be seen in Paris, at the Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie.[6]
