An environmentally friendly car is being released and it also has a beautiful design. The producers are Austin-based automotive design and manufacturing company Ronn Motors. The new road sensation is called the Scorpion and it runs on hydrogen fuel injections. The vehicle utilizes new \'hydrogen on demand\' technology, which, simply put, generates water from the inbuilt tank, turns it into hydrogen and then injects this into the car\'s system.
