Volkswagen XL1: The Triple Digit Fuel Economizer

Another promising futuristic car was unveiled at the Qatar Auto Show in Doha. It is the Volkswagen AG’s XL1 prototype, that is said to have a triple digit fuel economizer that can travel for just .9 liters for 100 kilometers, or an estimated 260 mpg-which is so far the first ever car to be run miles at less needed fuel. If you will analyze, Qatar is one of the oil riches countries in the world, but still they have the brightest idea of producing a car that is able to consume less fuel.

This one of a kind design is a sure hit in the runway because of its feather weighted body that adds up to its speed, a fully covered body that even your hanged holiday dress won’t sway, and a multi-technology parts  that assures passenger’s safety.

Volkswagen team described the special feature of their amazing creation in this statement. “Riding on an 87.6-inch wheelbase and measuring 153.1 inches long, the XL1 has a footprint similar to that of the Mazda 2. But its Lamborghini Gallardo–like height (just 45.5 inches) helps create a slippery drag coefficient of 0.19. The unusual body design was largely influenced by the L1 concept, with a bubble-like greenhouse and sharply tapered rear end that help achieve the outstanding Cd. Two large scissor doors swing up from the A-pillar for easy—and showy—access. The cockpit has two bucket seats, with the passenger seat mounted slightly farther back than the driver’s.

The body is built from carbon fiber, with further weight gains realized by using magnesium wheels, ceramic brake discs, and aluminum suspension components. As a result, the XL1 tips the scales at a skinny 1753 pounds, with just 406 of those accounted for by steel or iron parts.”

Wow! That was really awesome! Maybe your gangster suits are inappropriate this time if you will be driving one of these. Although the price of this car is not yet unveiled, for sure, you can’t buy it a cheaper price now. But Volkswagen promised that they will have one display of it in every Volkswagen display room for the people to see.
