Ronn Motor Company Scorpion HX

Ronn Motor Company has came out another supercar. The result is the 450-hp Scorpion and its hotter, 600-hp sibling, the Scorpion HX.

The car was built off a lightweight chrome-moly chassis shrouded in a carbon fiber body, the Scorpion has a seductive shape backing up its sting, along with 20-inch MOZ wheels and 12-inch Wilwood disc brakes. A 3.5 L DOHC VTEC V6 engine is going to powered the car and the powertrain of the car is a close-ratio six-speed manual sending power to the rear wheels through an LSD. The standard Scorpion puts out 450 hp, while the HX uses a duo of turbos and a proprietary intercooler setup to bring output up to 600 hp. Preliminary 0-60 times aren't available yet (we'd guess somewhere in the 3.5-second range), but top speed should be in excess of 200 mph.

While coaxing 600 hp out of twin-turbo'd 3.5-liter V6 isn't a huge feat, the H2GO Hydrogen On-Demand system is the Scorpion's showpiece. The system produces hydrogen through the electrolysis of water while the vehicle is in motion, creating 130-octane hydrogen in gaseous form.
