520    In 2007, the X Prize Foundation announced that it would 
       give $10 million to anyone who could build a safe, mass-
       producible car that could travel one hundred miles on the 
       energy equivalent of a gallon of gas. The challenge 
       attracted more than one hundred teams from all over the 
       world, including dozens of amateurs. Many designed their 
       cars entirely from scratch, rejecting decades of thinking 
       about what a car should look like. Jason Fagone follows 
       four of those teams from the build stage to the final race
       and beyond-into a world in which destiny hangs on a low 
       drag coefficient and a lug nut can be a beautiful 
       talisman. The result is a gripping story of crazy 
       collaboration, absurd risks, colossal hopes, and poignant 
       losses. In an old pole barn in central Illinois, childhood
       sweethearts hack together an electric-powered dreamboat, 
       using scavenged parts, forging their own steel, and 
       burning through their life savings. In Virginia, an 
       impassioned entrepreneur and his hand-picked squad of 
       speed freaks pool their imaginations and build a car so 
       light that you can push it across the floor with your 
       thumb. In West Philly, a group of disaffected high school 
       students come into their own as they create a hybrid car 
       with the engine of a Harley motorcycle. And in Southern 
       California, the early favorite-a start-up backed by 
       millions in venture capital-designs a car that looks like 
       an alien egg. Ingenious is a joyride. Fagone takes us into
       the garages and the minds of the inventors, capturing the 
       fractious yet beautiful process of engineering a bespoke 
       machine. Suspenseful and bighearted, this is the story of 
       ordinary people risking failure, economic ruin, and 
       ridicule to create something vital that Detroit had never 
       pulled off. As the Illinois team wrote in chalk on the 
       wall of their barn, 'SOMEBODY HAS TO DO SOMETHING. THAT 
       SOMEBODY IS US.'
