The idea at its base is quite innovative: mix hydrogen with petrol. And all with an Acura engine, transformed from two turbos, equipped on a light chassis: the consumption comes off like a diesel car. The project from Scorpion, the supercar designed and planned by the Texan Ronn Motor Company, is still in its digital form, even if, considering its innovation, it shouldn’t have to look far to find an interested investor.

Its relative simplicity means it can abandon fuel cells, with hydrogen supplied by a Hydrorunner system - an on-board water tank is sufficient, with a secret chemical process, to obtain a consumption of about 17km a litre. The V6 3.5 engine has a range of 289 hp, to 450 hp with twin-turbo. 3.5 seconds is all is needed to hit 100km/hr, with a maximum speed of 320km/hr. And all without forgetting a dynamic driving style. Suspension derives from an Indy car, the bodywork is in carbon and it has a generous wheel base (2.67 metres). The 950 kg seem almost impossible in the face of all this technology.
