AUTOMOTIVE X PRIZE: WHERE IS TEAM HP2P?

[Get the latest "Truth With Speedzzter" here]

The Progressive Automotive X Prize list of accepted teams apparently does not include the controversial Team Hp2p

Doug Pelmear's secretive 1987 Mustang was a long-shot, "little-guy" hope for the competition for vehicles achieving 100mpge (miles per gallon equivalent) with carbon emissions of less than 200g/mi. Skeptics viciously derrided the effort as impossible.

Truth With Speedzzter withheld judgment.

But if the posted list is accurate, it would seem that the dream of X Prize glory for Team Hp2p is over.

[W]ill Team Hp2g become a soon-forgotten historical curiosity along the lines of those who designed and built the 1948 Tucker Torpedo, or Henry “Smokey” Yunick (who patented but failed to sell his “Hot Vapor Cycle Engine” (HVCE)), or innumerable others who mistakenly thought they had invented “the next big thing” in automobility?

Is that mysterious 1987 Mustang notchback the automotive equivalent to "cold fusion?"
