Volkswagen introduced its new super-efficient hybrid coupe, the Volkswagen XL1, at 2013 日内瓦车展. This two-seater is the most fuel-efficient and most aerodynamic production car in the world.

The XL1 uses a plug-in hybrid system to achieve mind-blowing consumption of just 0.9 liters of diesel fuel consumed every 100 kilometers (and average of roughly 261 miles per gallon). Plus, the XL1 can go up to 50 kilometers on its battery power alone. Coefficient of drag is a miniscule 0.189, thanks to a tiny frontal area and an obviously slippery shape.

High-tech lightweight design, perfect aerodynamics and a plug-in hybrid system – consisting of a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder TDI engine (35 kW / 48 PS), E-motor (20 kW / 27 PS), seven-speed dual clutch gearbox (DSG) and lithium-ion battery – all make it possible for the new Volkswagen XL1 to emit just 21 g/km of CO2. If necessary, the XL1, with a top speed of 160 公里每小时, can accelerate to 100 km/h in just 12.7 秒. Clearly, 0.9 l/100 km fuel consumption is a record figure that has not been achieved by any other vehicle to date, and it illustrates how Volkswagen is redefining what is technically feasible in carmaking.

The XL1 is 3,888 毫米长, 1,665 mm wide and just 1,153 mm tall. By usual automotive standards these are extreme dimensions. For comparison: a Polo has a similar length (3,970 毫米) and width (1,682 毫米) but is significantly taller (1,462 毫米). Even a purebred sports car like today’s Porsche Boxster is 129 mm taller (1,282 毫米). So, the XL1 will make a spectacular appearance – a car of the future, built for today.

There are no informations how many XL1s will be built or when interested buyers can start placing their orders. Though no one at VW has mentioned pricing yet, early rumors had a six-figure price tag attached, suggesting the XL1 be viewed as more of a green halo supercar for VW than a volume proposition.
