The small groups of monks who had taken up hanging around the major research institutions singing stange chants to the effect that the Universe was only a figment of its own imagination were eventually given a street theater grant and went away.

  Infinite Improbability Drive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In describing the invention of the drive, Douglas Adams exemplifies the principle of bootstrapping.
The infinite improbability drive has been superseded by the Bistromathic drive, based on the alternate math used by waiters in restaurants, which has the advantage of not having improbable side effects or improbable things going wrong.
The Bistromathic drive is more maneuverable than the Heart of Gold, but it seems that the Heart of Gold is still the faster of the two drives.

It was built as a secret government project on planet Damogran from where Zaphod Beeblebrox, the then-President of the Imperial Galactic Government, stole it at the launching ceremony.
In Life, the Universe and Everything, it is revealed that the core of the Improbability Drive is actually the Golden Bail of Prosperity, one of five items that forms the Wikkit Gate.

 analysis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
This is because the warp drive employed is vulnerable to gravity wells; that is, in the presence of a large body of mass, spacetime is curved strongly enough so that it is not safe to curve it again via a warp drive.
The best known example of this is the Infinite Improbability Drive aboard the Heart of Gold spaceship, which can move across vast distances of space nearly instantaneously by creating an infinite improbability field in which something as improbable as suddenly being in a different place is generated.
To that end, the unique choice of space propulsion drives helps to advance the books' mockery of other works of science fiction, which are equally improbable yet revealed to their audiences as possibly probable.
