"  Team: Edison2 Car: Very Light Car Class: Mainstream Drivetrain: Internal combustion engine Energy Storage: E85 PM Says: A machine optimized for the competition. Can it reach 100 mpg? Odds to Win: 5 to 1 To Edison2, there are only two absolute virtues: low weight and low aerodynamic drag. Standing 53 inches high with its wheels mounted outboard under fairings, the four-passenger version of Edison2&amp;#039;s Very Light Car (VLC) seems incredibly tiny\u2014it&amp;#039;s 7 inches shorter than a Honda Fit. The 40 hp from the 250-cc turbocharged single-\u00ADcylinder engine is more than enough to push the svelte 800-pound car. Constructed around a steel-tube frame with a stressed skin, the VLC is spartan in the extreme. Would buyers accept that? Or feel comfortable in a car that seems so vulnerable in a world still filled with big trucks? And wouldn&amp;#039;t it be ironic if the big-money X Prize went to a car powered by an internal combustion engine?
