I saw a photo in which the Lightning Hybrid was compared to the ’63 Corvette Stingray, and that got me interested in the Lightning. Beyond it’s very unique auto glass, the vehicle itself has lots of very cool features, the least of which is its target fuel efficiency of 100 miles per hour (part of Progressive’s Automotive X Prize). Check it out:
The Progressive Insurance Automotive X Prize is a competition for the fuel efficient vehicles of tomorrow. Ten million dollars will be split into multiple categories, but to win, you have to have a vehicle capable of meeting Federal safety standards that gets the equivalent of at least 100 miles to the gallon. You must also have a viable business plan that would see production of at least 10,000 vehicles by 2014. Right now, 111 teams are registered in the competition. Check out the X Prize official site for more information.
