The Detroit Free Press quoted Bob Culver, a Ford Motor Co. executive who is the executive director the U.S. Council for Automotive Research, the automaker consortium that oversees the program that, Energy Department officials and automaker executives will meet in Washington next week to go over the details of the changes in the supercar development program. And that Energy Department officials also intend to kill or delay work on shorter-term research, including efforts to reduce vehicle weight, .
