  • 1L/100km VW diesel concept.

    Amazing work from VW, a 300cc single cylinder diesel that is returning 1L/100kms.

    the leaf springs are made of glass fibre
    Who said leaf springs are 1860's technology ? (and yes, I know the latest hi-po Corvette also has leaf springs).

    It is an interesting design concept (it's been around for a while now), but IMHO if VW would get off their rear end and sell the 3 litre/100km Lupo (sub-Polo size) in a wider range of countries they would probably have more impact on the environment.

        If they were available to me, I'd save up and buy one. I don't care that it looks a little goofy, that's an amazing feat on VW's behalf!

                2L? That'd do about 250kph
                That's a seriously cool car. I still can't get my head around a 0.299L car with all that equipment doing 120kph.
