For example, the excellent aerodynamics with a drag coefficient to 0.18. For comparison, the latest VW Golf is 0.27. This can be done because of the rear wheels is closed so it got minimal barriers. Then the weight is just 795 kg which is one reason the XL1 uses carbon fiber reinforced plastic to make body panels and aluminum frame.
XL1 is a result of the development of the two initial models. The first model was made in 2002 called 1-itre or One Litre use the 300 cc diesel engine with a power of 7.9 hp. The dimensions are smaller, the 3,470 mm length is 318 mm shorter than the XL1.
The second model continued in 2009 with the name L1 . The shape is similar, just longer with 3,813 mm length, but the width is 1,200 mm is smaller than 1,250 mm width of 1-Litre. The technology is different, this one carries a plug-in Hybrid. Thus , diesel engine capacity is 800 cc 38.5 hp with electric motor that collaborate with 13.4 hp.
From the front it does look cool , but wait until you see the rear ..
Either cool or too tacky or what, but all of it to pursue an aerodynamic design. Because the engine is placed behind, the air traps are placed on either side of the rear to supply air to a conventional 800 cc, two-cylinder diesel engine, 46.3 hp which is supported by a 26.6 hp electric motor. Adopting a transmission 7-speed dual clutch, the XL1 electric battery is placed under the hood. The ability of the battery to run the car until 49.8 km (40 miles)
XL1 can accommodate two people, is certainly to save diesel. The steering wheel is 'flattened' at the bottom to aim better handling.
According to VW, XL1 only requires 7.9 horsepower to make it sped 100 km/h (62 mph) with acceleration from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 12.7 seconds and a maximum speed of 160 km/h (99 mph). This car tank holds up to 10 liters of fuel, so XL1 can travel up to 1,130 km (702 miles) with just one tank. Wow.
However, a number of journalists were given the opportunity to try out this car in Germany include original calculate fuel consumption. As a result, the average fuel consumption XL1 is just 68 km/l (160 mpg US). Though far from the manufacturer claims, but still considered good. The problem is XL1 can not be called as a super-efficient!
XL1 will produced only 1,000 units at 2013. That's bad, because a car like this that would be favored by many people if XL1 is cheap, because it's very economical. Besides the beautiful and futuristic design. However, XL1 does not seem to be included in Indonesia.
