Volkswagen XL1 Electric Diesel Hybrid with close to 300MPG
The Volkswagen XL1 is one of the most efficient
concept cars in the known universe. With a two-cylinder TDI Clean Diesel engine,
an electric motor, lithium-ion battery pack and seven-speed dual-clutch
transmission, the Volkswagen XL1 plug-in hybrid will travel on an astounding 0.9
L/100 km, while emitting just 24 g/km C02. And with a sleek and sporty,
lightweight design, it’s clear that the XL1 is the most amount of fun, on the
least amount of fuel.
A limited production
of 250 units began by mid 2013 and pricing starts at $146,000(US). The
Volkswagen XL1 plug-in diesel-electric hybrid will be available only in Europe
and it can deliver an all-electric range of 31 miles and has a fuel economy of
almost 300MPG.
