You don't have to wait until next year!! Just Drop that $ 50,000 deposit and you can get yours! And whats even better is that the eco-exotic car can also perform too taking its 2,100-pound frame from 0-60 in no more than 3.5 seconds. All this eco-goodness costs a cool $150,000, but for a planet-loving luxury-lover, its quite a bargain!
















In an announcement that's left us scratching our heads, newly-formed Ronn Motor Company has revealed a car, uniquely named "Scorpion" which they claim will get they 40 mpg, have a 3.5 second 0 to 60 time and have an over 200 mph top end. Furthermore, they state in a press release, it will be available to consumers this fall. Not impressed yet? It will be a hydrogen burning hybrid.

Hydrogen "burning"? Yes, burning. Let us explain. Employing "dual computer processor controls," the hydrogen, produced by "fracturing water molecules drawn from a small on board water tank," will be fed in through the air intake manifold and blended with gasoline in a 30 to 40 per cent ratio. Since one of the partners listed on their website is Hydrorunner, we believe theirs is the system being employed here. The engine said to be doing this gasoline mixed with hydrogen burning is an Acura dual overhead cam, aluminum/magnesium block, 3.5 liter, V-tech, V-6, Type S. All that equipment will be lovingly wrapped in a carbon fiber body produced by Metal Crafters and there will be all kinds of other cool, shiny bits. No price was mentioned.

The company, which has just recently begun offering public shares of stock, says it is in the process of designing a state-of-the-art, 40,000-square-foot plant near Marble Falls, Texas. There will be space for fabrication, mechanical assembly, body assembly, parts, testing, receiving etc. There are also plans for a 10,000-square-foot showroom. Of the car, vice president Adrian Pylypec, says, "The Scorpion is a proof of concept vehicle that helps solve consumer energy problems today and we expect will serve as a platform for our second generation vehicles." Seriously though: nice picture, but the website could use some work. Read the release after the jump.
