The winners of the competition will receive $100,000 and two new Ford Escapes. “Ford is the first automaker to build an entire prime-time show around a new vehicle,” says Jim Farley, Ford group vice president for Global Marketing, Sales and Service. “Saturday is a vast wasteland of television.

In real-world driving conditions with frequent acceleration and braking, 'i-ELOOP' improves fuel economy by approximately 10 percent. Mazda's regenerative braking system is unique because it uses a capacitor, which is an electrical component that temporarily stores large volumes of electricity.

Regenerative braking systems are growing in popularity as a fuel saving technology. Volkswagen's The People's Car Project: Hover Car PART 1. Go Further with Ford.
