Volkswagen has been presenting different versions of their L1 concept since 7 years ago, and this time they’ve got another round by calling it the “world’s most fuel-efficient automobile”. Maybe it is a claim too big to be true, or not…
Anyway, the L1 name comes from the fact that the car only spends 1.38l of diesel per 100Km which is pretty good. One of the reasons for the low consumption is probably related to the total weight – 380kg – of carbon fiber. In terms of CO2 emissions, the L1 only puts out 36 grams per Km which is also awesome.
Other details: it uses a 10kW electric motor powerplant, a 0.8-liter TDI, the top speed is 100 mph and there are 2 driving modes: eco or sport.
