We talked about cutting engines in half in the media sections some days ago.
Well, VW has done this in a more professional way. Maybe they did not use a chainsaw.
In Quatar they are showing the "XL 1", their third Version of what VW called "1L-Auto" in German. A car that consumes only 1 liter of fuel on 100km.
The car uses a 800cc TDI twin producing 48 hp.
Oh Lord! Let Volkswagen produce a motorcycle with this engine!
Let us pray together!
In the past I had 55PS Diesel Golf I that gave me an economy of approx 5l/100km. And a Ford Escort, also with 55PS Diesel and the same fuel consumption. Even with their poorer air resistance you should theoretically achieve less than 3l/100km.
you could do what happend to the prototype diesel Beetle back in the 50's. Steel it. Problem with the diesel beetle, it was so underpowered, even less power than a factory 1200 beetle, the perps left it sitting on the side of the road and walked away from it.
