Actually, a non-reversible car also has no lower energy limit, as long as you drive on a flat surface (same for a reversible one) and can get to the answer arbitrarily slowly.
An ideal reversible computer also works arbitrarily slowly. To make it go faster, you need to put energy in. You can make it go arbitrarily slowly with arbitrarily little energy, just like a non-reversible car.
