2013 Volkswagen XL1


 Here is the car of 100 km per liter

At the Geneva Motor Show have appeared of 963 horses of "LaFerrari", but also had the equally eco XL1 Volkswagen, the car that runs 100 km on a liter of diesel. The world's most efficient car is powered by a plug-in hybrid system, which ensures the two places up to 50 miles of all-electric range with power, ie with zero emissions.
Econome at the highest, but from the point of view of construction, the Volkswagen XL1 has been realized, to achieve maximum efficiency, according to the rules of construction of the car purely sporting.

Firstly, the low weight (795 kg), then extreme aerodynamics (cx 0.189) and low center of gravity (height 1153 mm). For this reason, only 8.4 horses enough to maintain a constant speed of 100 km / h. Traveling with only one power supply, the XL1 is content to less than 0.1 kWh to travel more than a kilometer.

Framework to contribute to the adoption of virtuoso high-tech lightweight materials - such as carbon fiber monocoque CFK - and the plug-in hybrid system, including the 2-cylinder TDI engine (48 hp) electric motor (20 kW) the dual clutch 7-speed transmission (DSG) and lithium-ion battery (capacity: 5.5 kWh). the XL1 is credited with CO2 emissions of just 21 g / km.

But can reach 160 km / h, electronically limited speed, goes from 0 to 100 km / h in 12 "7. Undoubtedly a consumption of 0.9 l/100 km is extraordinary and redefines the technical potential in the automotive industry.

It will not be the XL1 to invade the market in the coming years, but clearly shows the sum of all the advances in technology in the near future that will allow the cars to big to be much more efficient. Engines with low fuel consumption, plug-in hybrid systems, batteries are increasingly able and carbon fiber will be the protagonists of real evolution.
