A few weeks ago the two heads of Tek on Dek went down to the Philadelphia International Auto Show at the legendary Pennsylvania Convention Center in downtown Philly. The usual big name auto companies made their usual splash with some beautiful additions to their respective lines of vehicles.
However one of the cars that caught my eye was actually made by the local West Philly High School automotive class. The team set out to create a car that was capable of achieving over 100 miles per gallon for the $10 million Progressive Insurance Automotive X Prize. They are competing with big names like Cornell University and Tesla Motors among others. They've even managed to beat out MIT in the voting so far.
They created 2 vehicles for the two categories in the contest, a 4 door economy car and a 2 door two-seater sports car (pictured above).
