Qatar hosted the world premiere for Volkswagen XL1, a rare two-seater prototype consumes 1 liter per 100 kilometers. According to VW, the hybrid is less costly in the world will be produced in a limited series for 2013. The XL1 uses multiple strategies to achieve similar performance figures. Among them is a lightweight chassis, made largely of carbon fiber. That and other technologies allow you to have a maximum weight of 795 kilos. An excellent coefficient of aerodynamic penetration. A hybrid engine system with a turbodiesel engine, two cylinders, which complements and recharge a powerful and efficient lithium ion battery.
Volkswagen XL1 Concept 1 Liter Gasoline For 100 km
Furthermore, as measured by the new car emits only 24 grams per kilometer of CO2 and has an excellent battery autonomy that allows, without recharging, a distance of 35 kilometers.
As reported by VW, the XL1 and spends little cleaner, thanks to various reasons, such as high-tech lightweight construction (monocoque plastic parts reinforced with carbon fiber), a perfect aerodynamic (Cw = 0.186) and a hybrid system plug (plug-in), consisting of a twin-cylinder TDI engine 35 kW / 48 hp electric motor of 20 kW/27 hp, a 7-speed automatic DSG and a lithium-ion battery provides consumption rates and very low CO2 emissions of just 0.9 l/100 km and 24 g / km respectively.
The XL1 can run on both engines or force one of them. In conventional way is the TDI, who works to accelerate while the electric motor acts as a support when needed. When both motors work in combination the XL1 can reach 100 km / h in 11.9 sec. and reach 160 km / h (maximum performance of the hybrid system). Ah, autonomy is up to 35 km in electric mode.
