a8ksh4 is correct - they are looking for $30 000 to publish a book about the design process only. They mention in the video that it will take about $3million to get the car to production. Donating $1 gets you the good feeling of having helped out the cause, but nothing more. Starting at $25 you can get an electronic copy of the video.
As to the comments on rear-wheel steering - that issue has been solved in the first prototype.
Thanks to MetroMPG for pointing this out (on the Mirage forum) - for those looking for a car closer to production, the Elio is further along. It has the greater horsepower and is closer to market (they are taking deposits), though it isn't quite as efficient.
