40 mpg, blends hydrogen extracted from on board water tank. 450 HP twin turbos... Really cool stuff!
150k price tag but that actually seems reasonable for what you get. Also new technology so I'm sure the price will drop and this gets integrated into more vehicles.
Anyways thought it was cool and worth sharing.

[quote]Hydrogen use for cars is only thought to be possible with fuel cells or even in regular combustion engines, as BMW is trying to prove possible with some of its vehicles. Ronn Motor Company, from Texas, USA, has proposed a new use of this gas: to blend it with gasoline. According to the company, doing so can improve highway fuel economy up to 17 km/l (or 40 mpg). Even better, it can do that for a 450 hp sports car that sprints from 0 to 60 mph in about 3.5 seconds and reaches top speeds of up to 320 km/h (200 mph). Ladies and gentlemen, meet the Ronn Scorpion.
Although very little information can be found about the car at Ronn Motor Company
