Published on 9 Jan 2014 | http://www.autobytel.com Volkswagen recently offered us the opportunity to test drive the world's most fuel efficient production vehicle, the 2014 XL1, after the LA Auto Show where we took the opportunity to have Volkswagen Technical Developer Christian Kolano to give us an in depth look at the limited production 283 MPG two seater from the future. The 2014 Volkswagen XL1 is powered by a turbo diesel two cylinder combined with an electric motor and a 7 speed dual clutch automatic mounted behind the passenger compartment. Much of the XL1's key to fuel efficiency lies in the sleek narrow body made from lightweight aerodynamic components like carbon fiber, aluminum and plastic. If the XL1 happens to sound like something you might be interested in, you will be hard pressed to hear that VW only plans on producing 250 examples priced at around $120,000 each; and will only be available in Europe.
