The Scorpion by Ronn Motors is a 450 horsepower hydrogen powered vehicle that drinks the water from your garden hose to create hydrogen on demand. It gets 40mpg, the hydrogen is mixed with 91-octane gasoline to improve the fuel economy and reduce the emissions of the car’s 3.5-liter internal combustion engine. It is priced at $150,000.

According to Car and Driver, Infiniti is readying a direct-injection system for its 3.7-liter V6 and plans to implement it on the refreshed G37 coupe and sedan before the redesigned G arrives in the next three years. A variant of the twin-turbocharged, 3.7-liter direct-injected V6 originally shown in the Essence concept will likely appear in the redesigned M – due in 2010 – and will reportedly put out between 340 and 350 horsepower, but it will not be fitted with the duo of turbos.
While Infiniti recognizes that it could use a successor to the Q45 (the company’s slow-selling full-size sedan last roamed U.S. showrooms in 2006) to compete with the likes of Audi, BMW, Lexus and Mercedes-Benz, the project may be stifled by the floundering economy. Infiniti dealers were evidently shown a concept in Japan earlier this year, assumed to be the next Q, which was essentially a four-door version of the Essence concept that debuted at the Geneva Motor Show. At this point, its future is uncertain.
Larry Dominique, Infiniti’s veep of product planning in the U.S., wants to make sure that the automaker’s resources are focused on its core products – namely the G and M series – but admitted that a QX56 replacement is in the works and will likely debut after 2010 once the redesigned Armada is released.

A Nissan GT-R wagon? Not really, “it’s a conversion of the Japanese automaker’s M35 series Stagea wagon, a JDM load-lugger it produced from 2001 to 2007″. But Stagea has been called the GT-R Wagon by many people. The Stagea was spotted at Nagoya Auto Trend, the car is powered by a V6 and available in both rear and all-wheel-drive.
This is the official pictures of the Lamborghini Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce. It is more powerful, faster and lighter than the already fast
LP-640. Its 6.5L V12 produces up to 670 hp and 487 lb-ft of torque, all was achieved by optimizing the engine’s valve timing and tweaking the air intake system. The LP 670-4 SuperVeloce is described by Lamborghini as “exceptionally purist”.

The Renault Megane Trophy concept is sexy, shown in the Paris Motor Show. It is powered by a Nissan-sourced 3.5-liter V6 mounted amidship found in the old Renaultsport Clio V6, churning out 360hp and mated with a six-speed sequential gearbox. I love its wide bodykit, they really did a nice work on the body. Unfortunately, it is still under concept but maybe you can get some idea from this for your own bodykit.

This is classic man, a 1957 Ferrari, that’s older than me. Exact name, the 1957 Ferrari 250 TR, this is one of the only 22 of the very rare racers built. It has a Speed Racer-esque pontoon fenders, black paint with white numbers and a black nose, red seats with white piping, a gated shifter, and racing heritage that includes a fourth place finish in the 1000 km Buenos Aires in January 1958.
