Scorpion is Hydrogen and Gas Powered 40mpg Supercar

Scorpion_Hydrogen_supercar_060408

I am going to say something here that sounds like an oxymoron, but that is changing rapidly. Ready? 40 mpg Sportscar. The Ronn Motor Company’s Scorpion is a real supercar, featuring 289 hp (optional turbocharger gives 450 hp), a hand built carbon fiber body over a chrome-moly chassis, a close ratio six speed transmission, paddle shift, superb styling,40 mpg highway miles, and a whole lot of fun.

Even more interesting is the power source for the sleek Scorpion. The vehicle is powered by a combination of gasoline and hydrogen in a true combustion engine – unlike  most hydrogen powered vehicles that utilize a fuel cell with an electric engine. The result is a car that has a classic vroomy drivetrain yet achieves great numbers for efficiency and emissions.

The company is accepting orders for alternative fuel sportscar’s initial run, and pricing details should be released sometimes summer 2008.  More information on the Scorpion is available on the Ronn Motor Company website.
