One of the more interesting prototypes I've read about..
oops meant to post in "general discussion" :x
Here's the info the article had on the car,
Volkswagen EcoRacer concept
Volkswagen's intention with this concept was to create a no-compromise sports car that is gentle on the environment. To keep weight down and stiffness up, VW developed a new carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic that is employed in both the body panels and frame. The mid-mounted four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine is a lightweight 1.5-liter model that produces 134 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. This power plant, paired with VW's renowned DSG dual-clutch transmission, propels the rear-wheel-drive EcoRacer to 62 mph in 6.3 seconds and a top speed of 144 mph. Oh yeah, it can get up to 78.9 miles per gallon.
