The Ronn Motor Co. Scorpion, is a hydrogen assisted supercar with 450 hp, 0 to 60 times of 3.5 seconds, and a top speed of 200 mph. This two-seater swoopy shape gets 40 mpg by adding a small amount of hydrogen to the intake air/fuel mixture, that allows the engine to operate with less fossil fuel. Here's a video of the car and Ron Maxwell, the CEO, talking about it.

The Scorpion produces hydrogen on board and injects it into the fuel stream to get the benefits of increased fuel economy and reduced emissions without having to add anything at non-existent hydrogen refueling stations. Ronn Motors claims a boost in mileage of 20 to 30% and a substantial drop in C02 and NOx output.

The hydrogen assisted internal combustion engine uses gaseous hydrogen produced through electrolysis of water, using the power generated by the Scorpion's electrical system. This proprietary H2GO hydrogen injection system blends hydrogen and gasoline in 40%/60% proportion; the hydrogen is supplied from an onboard water tank that holds 3 gallons and only needs refilling every 1000 miles of driving. The generation of hydrogen is linked to the accelerator,
