Students from West Philadelphia High School have built a diesel-hybrid race car that goes from 0-60 in four seconds. While the car currently gets 60+ mpg, they hope to soon break 100 mpg.

Why? They are competing for $10 million in the Automotive X-Prize .

Called the Hybrid Attack, the car was built by kids from West Philly’s Academy of Automotive and Mechanical Engineering. And if that alone doesn’t make them cool, they are the only high school team competing out of 90 different teams from the U.S. and overseas.

Meh, lambo doors are overdone. But I give them kudos for putting "vag" on the car. Lol

Yeah.... I'm not sure what's with the -COM though. I mean, it'd have been better if it were "GET-VAG" or "VAG-MAGNET."

Jokes aside, this is an impressive project from a team from a HIGH SCHOOL... assuming that it actually works as expected.
