This post seems to have a lot more information about the construction of the vehicle.

Needs more engine. Say, a 100 HP diesel from a Jetta, with a performance chip for more power... Widen the car a little if needed, give it the transmission and suspension upgrades to accomodate that amount of power. Imagine having something that got 150+ mpg and 0-60 mph < 4 seconds.
