With the threat of gas prices shooting up at any given moment, even supercar buyers have become concerned with fuel economy. But the Ronn Motor Company is seeking to eliminate buyers’ concerns by producing one of the greenest supercars on the planet.
Dubbed the Scorpion, the new-age exotic is powered by a twin-turbo 3.5L V6 sourced from Honda , with a total output of 450 horsepower.
However, the turbocharged six isn’t the Scorpion’s most interesting point. Ronn Motor has also equipped the car with an onboard hydrogen system that actually turns water in hydrogen. The resulting hydrogen is then fed into the car’s intake – at a 30-40 percent hydrogen, 70-60 percent gasoline mixture — which allows the Scorpion to achieve 40 mpg.
The end result is a 2,100 pound car that is capable of accelerating from 0-60 in 3.5 seconds, all with a price tag of $150,000.
