Texas-based Ronn Motors are out to spoil their customers and that too in some style. But just to make sure their horsepower-happy cars don’t leave a bad fume in the faces of fellow planet dwellers, the firm’s brand new eco-luxe-initiative, the Scorpion, hopes to deliver the best clean, green fun to eco-conscious car lovers too. Running on a 3.5-liter, six-cylinder engine VTEC from Acura, the Scorpion also features two turbos and an intercooler under the hood that takes it from 280 hp to 450 hp. The hydrogen fuelled engine connected to an on-demand hydrogen system that breaks down water molecules and holds them in a non-pressurized tank which eliminates the need for a hydrogen refueling station. Between 30 and 40 percent hydrogen gets mixed with the gasoline allowing the Scorpion can do 40 mpg.

And what’s even better is that the eco-exotic car can also perform too taking its 2,100-pound frame from 0-60 in no more than 3.5 seconds. All this eco-goodness costs a cool $150,000, but for a planet-loving luxury-lover, it’s quite a bargain!
