I love how it's futuristic but still down to earth. I'd proudly drive this everyday. I was wondering are there any (pre)cautions necessary not to lose grip because of thin tires?

[@michalviktorin6758]

I do not know about back wheels, but if you compare shape with Nissan´s deltawind and understand explanation of it, you will see, that certain shapes does not need huge frost tires.

[@iroquoispliskin6077]

They make the best hybrid, the best practical ICE cars and the only production car that goes 300mph. Hybrids kinda suck though, they’d always be better as a full electric or full gas setup.

[@jenspetersen5865]

There is not a single electrical car in the world that can match this technology for environmental impact. The profets of saving the world with electrical cars and politicians need to focus on the real impact and not be religious about it. Imagine this as an aluminium build at 75% of the specs and a third of the cost, but it will likely not happen because politicians are picking technology.

[@alyssatowle4545]

Woah that is one fancy car

[@mikaelaracolta6166]

I LOVE THIS CAR BUT WHY THE HECK DOES IT SAVE TO BE SOOOO EXPENSIVE. 111.000 DOLLARS?!?! ARE YOU SERIOUS

[@FrmerK20]

Much carbon fiber and probably fcking expensive to develop. And with the low amout that will probably be built and you have your 111k dollars ^^

[@ignasb]

even at 111k it was sold way underpriced. That price by far did not cover the development and manufacturing expenses of this limited series vehicle. Remember that only 250 of these were built. Source: VW tour guide at VW factory.

[@jenspetersen5865]

110000€ not $

[@edstratton]

@@ignasb That's right! If VW wanted to cover the development cost of the XL1 only by selling 250 units, the price of each one would have to be 5 million dollars! - that is a fact. Fortunately however, VW never intended to recover the cost in this way. Instead, their plan was, of course, for the XL1 project to help them learn how to make their 'normal' mass-produced models more efficient, because if they can do that, they will sell many more cars and make much bigger profits. The XL1 was a research/development project for the whole company, it was never a project to see how many XL1's they could sell.

[@DarxusC]

Because too few people care about having this much energy efficiency for them to be able to mass produce it, to make it a reasonable cost.

[@LOCNGUYEN-op2gy]

I hope one day I can see this car In Vietnam

[@lulz4lulz]

Nobody would be able to afford it, buying a $110,000+ car when making $150 a week would take over 14 years without spending a penny from a single paycheck to have enough just to buy it.

[@berke2706]

Only the very Rich can afford this car, but why should they, when fuel is not a problem for them and there Are plenty of exotic sportscars for the same price, with much more hp, sorry pal, i think it‘s Safe to say that you won‘t

Who would want a terribly inefficient battery driven Tesla. Comparing both cars, is like comparing a De Vinci masterpiece with a christmas callender. A car that uses on 1 Litre of fuel to travel 100km.

[@Multivitamin02]

Some people don't get why this thing is so expensive. Besides beeing a technological masterpiece (unlike a tesla) there where only 200 units built! This thing is ultra rare and none of you will probably ever see one

[@toyotaprius79]

It was a gimick of a car, and from VW's height of ego with TDI. The same technology can be had in the BMW i3, BMW could probably build the same vehicle for less than half of the insulting €111000 price.

[@gilbriquemont]

[@AJ-ln2nb]

What's the fuel tank capacity?

[@mikeanonymous6169]

1 Litre = XL1. It can achieve 313 mpg (and go 22 mi on pure electricity), but it also has a 1 Litre tank. Hopefully That Helps.

[@gustavoflorio5383]

It's 10L or 2.6US Gal

[@edstratton]

The fuel tank is 10 litres.

[@peterlewis3540]

When it can do over 300mpg, or use 1 Litre of fuel to travel 100kms, fuel tank capacity is a bit pointless.

[@leusca1]

My Polsky Fiat 126 has also a twin cylinder and weight 580kg, so I don't see the point of the $111,000 cost because the fiat is about $5,000. Also it's sound better.

[@edstratton]

How many mpg from your Fiat? What emissions? It would be interesting to compare with XL1.

[@leusca1]

​@@edstratton I was a little pissed off when I wrote this comment. In fact, the XL1 is a great concept. The Fiat 126 drinks about 5 to 6 l per 100 km, and I maintain that the sound was better on the Fiat haha

[@edstratton]

Very interesting! 😊 Thank you.
