- Exceed 100 mpge or the equivalent (Some cars might not be fueled strictly by gasoline, so they would need to produce a gasoline equivalent of 100 mpge.).
- Meet strict emission requirements.
- Can compete in rigorous stage races that test real-world driving conditions.
- Be safe, affordable, and desirable.
