Presents an old supercar, the RMC Scorpion but the lines of this car are so fluent that we can deny how beautiful this design actually is. So we bring it under your attention, it's worth it. Second it uses a eco friendly fuel solution, it's a pity they could have made only this prototype.

The Ronn Motor Company (RMC) is a car manufacturer based in Austin, Texas. The Scorpion was produced by RMC in 2008.

The IRS filed a tax lien against Ronn Motors in December, 2009. In 2010 Ronn Motors failed to make all its lease payments to Marble Falls Economic Development Corp. As of June 2010, "The company had not reported any major deliveries or sales, despite loads of news releases.

In September 2010, Ronn Maxwell of Ronn Motors reported that production was on hold pending its ability to obtain a long-term lease. To date, Ronn Motors has produced only a prototype.

The Scorpion was designed as a mild hybrid. The was built with a carbon fiber body, over a race car designed chrome-moly chassis, powered by the latest high tech Acura V-Tech, V-6, Type S, 3.5 Liter power-plant from the 2008 TL TypeS at that time.
On board was a Hydrogen on demand system, which provides 130 octane Hydrogen in real time, blended with gasoline in ratios of 30-50%. Coupled with a close ratio six-speed transmission and other fuel saving measures, the "Scorpion", highway fuel economy will be in the 40 mpg range, and capable of producing 450 horsepower with the twin-turbo option.

Produces hydrogen during vehicle operation through electrolysis of water using the power generated from the vehicles electrical system. A small amount of hydrogen added to the vehicles intake air/fuel mixture allows the engine to operate with less fossil fuel. Ronn Motor Company will use this technology in its revolutionary Scorpion to achieve lower emissions and vastly improved fuel economy.

Interesting technology there with the hydrogen production but there is no getting away from the fact it is as generic looking as supercars get.

PD likes to include unusual cars so bring on the Ronn I say. Pity the name Ronn sounds like it was built in a shed.

I'd be interesting to see the technology used in a more mainstream model as ultimately hydrogen is the future. Or at least it will be when there is a sufficient infrastructure in place.

This. It looks like a supercar from Just Cause or Saints Row or something.
