After working on the idea for over a decade, Volkswagen has revealed the near-production version of the XL1, a two-seat, plug-in diesel hybrid designed to be the world's most energy-efficient automobile. VW estimates the XL1 can get up to 111 kilometre per litre — although with a time to 100 kmph of 12.7 seconds, it won't get there quickly.
olkswagen has announced the
production of the world's most fuel efficient car - designed like a
futuristic motor and capable of an incredible 111 kmpl.
The Volkswagen XL1 with its super sleek design is powered by a miniscule 800cc diesel engine and a separate electric motor and battery pack.
This will give the plug-in hybrid a 0-100 kmph time of 12.2 seconds and a top speed limited to a modest 160kmph.
Overall emissions are a mere 21g/km - less than a quarter of the amount produced by the famous ultra-green Toyota Prius.
It can also cover a distance of up to 50 kilometres in all-electric mode where it emits zero carbon dioxide.
