Ronn Like Hell: Scorpion Eco-Exotic Supercar Coming To China
Ever heard of Ronn Motor Company? We don’t blame you. Well, at least they have a website. They even have their own in-house chaplain. (sometimes called a “Chaplin”. As in Charley.) They have reason to pray a lot, and to keep up their good humor: At the time of this typing, their stock traded (on the pink sheets) at 6 cents. It once fetched $6.
That minor detail doesn’t deter them from announcing that their “Scorpion® eco-exotic supercar, H2GO® real time hydrogen production unit and Ronnzoil® biodegradable lubricants may soon be available in China and the rest of Asia in the coming months.” Why? Because everybody goes there.
Details on the Scorpion® eco-exotic supercar are a bit murky, but the way we understand it, the thing runs on a mixture of gasoline and hydrogen. The hydrogen is produced on board in their H2GO™ system that “produces and blends gaseous hydrogen with gasoline or diesel fuel to achieve 15 percent to 35 percent improvements in fuel consumption, while increasing power and decreasing hydrocarbons typically by 75 percent to 90 percent. Overall CO2 reductions will mirror fuel mileage improvements of 15 percent to 35 percent.” BFD, we say. “It’s really, really, really green,” Ron Maxwell says.
The H2GO™ system can supposedly be retrofitted. A new Scorpion HX™ eco-exotic supercar, “is expected to carry a retail price of $250,000, plus additional amounts for any special customization ordered by the customer.” Ronn supposedly just received their first purchase order for 10 of them from world renowned Eco Luxury Motorsport, the newly formed subsidiary of even more world famous Angeltouch Petroleum & Refining, Inc., a giant in the exotic auto trade.

Why? Because everybody goes there. Because they are the only ones with cash anymore.
