At the 2009 SEMA Show, attendees got a sneak peek of some of the top designs to pass the initial phase of the Progressive Automotive X Prize competition. This contest is the ultimate in eco auto design--the fastest car to pass a rigorous testing phase will win a $10 million prize--and has brought out some of the best and brightest minds.
