The Scorpion: A 40-MPG, 450-Horsepower Hydrogen-Powered Arachnid

Okay it doesn't really sting, it's just a freaking car. Oh wait, maybe it does.

The Scorpion gets its sting from a hydrogen delivery system the company calls H2GO. While cars like the Honda FCX Clarity and Chevrolet Equinox use hydrogen fuel cells to drive electric motors, the Scorpion uses electrolysis to convert water into gaseous hydrogen. The hydrogen is mixed with 91-octane gasoline to improve the fuel economy and reduce the emissions of the car's 3.5-liter internal combustion engine.

Ronn Motors is confident that the sexy Scorpion will top 200 mph. The chrome-moly chassis and carbon-fiber body surrounds a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 in a car that weighs just 2,200 pounds. The engine was sourced from Acura -- it's the same mill found in the TL Type S, albeit turbocharged -- and mated to a six-speed gearbox. The car will set you back $150,000, and if 450 ponies isn't enough, another $100 grand will get you a tweaked version with another 150 horsepower.

Oh man. I want one. Badly. Really badly. Just imagine: you're cruising along in your Scorpion, when you decide to swing by the BK drive-thru for a #4 with a Coke. ZOMG I'm making myself moister than a towelette. Just kidding, I don't even know what that means.

The Green Mean SuperCar: The RMC Scorpion

Opposed to the convention that Hybrid cars have to be slow and stupid, this is a cool exception. The Scorpion runs on 30-40% blend of hydrogen and gasoline, and promises increased efficiency (mileage) and reduced CO2 emission.
In one way it is completely unique. Although most other similar cars use fuel cells, this machine uses a hydrogen ICE (internal combustion engine) system. This is a similar procedure to converted engines for natural gas, but instead of using liquid gas, it uses hydrogen.
About emissions, this is reduced a lot as the only emission is water (no carbon in hydrogen). When it comes to looks, its glossy snake-type look, beautiful curves, side skirts and air scoops are just too hot. The car looks simple yet menacing, and i just love it.


The car is in prelauch, and is to be freed to customers this October.
These are the statistics of the car. Some are estimates as no official statements made yet.
