I was able to find more information at their website @ ecocar2[dot]org their official website. The competition is focused at reducing the environmental impact of a Chevrolet Malibu without compromising performance, safety and consumer acceptability (according to their website). This was the third year of the program, which is focused on 99% consumer buyoff. It seems a few teams developed high-tech features like center stacks and aerodynamic qualities. A lot of teams swapped components, like motors and energy storage systems, in the Malibu. One of the teams even beat the stock vehicle time in an autocross course and came close to beating it in 0-60 MPH acceleration.
A lot of their information was on their blog or at their Facebook account at EcoCAR 2.
