Answer:

There's one or two reasons, depending on what is meant by "wind-powered car".

The first reason is that it's impossible for any transfer of energy to be 100% efficient.  There will always be frictional losses.

Secondly, if the company means that they want to attach a wind turbine to the car so that the car is powered by the same wind that it generates, that violates the conservation of energy.
