40-MPG, 450-Horsepower Hydrogen Scorpion Unveiled
Hydro Scorpion
A Texas startup has finally pulled the wraps off its 40-mpg, 450-horsepower Scorpion roadster, a hand-built hydrogen-burning “eco-exotic” that is sexier than Angelina Jolie and has the performance to provide more grins than nitrous oxide.
Ronn Motor Company unveiled the Scorpion today at the big SEMA, or Speciality Equipment Market Association, show in Las Vegas, which may be the perfect place to debut so flashy — and innovative — a car. The company hopes the Scorpion does for hydrogen what the Tesla Roadster has done for batteries.
“We want to build cool cars, just more responsibly”, company president Ronn Maxwell told Wired.com. “Our hope with the Scorpion is to implement a paradigm shift not only in how the industry looks at supercars but at cars in general.”
