Volkswagen introduces world’s most economical car

Volkswagen's AUD655 car uses less than 1 litre per 100 km!
It looks like Ford, Chrysler and GM missed the boat again!

This $655 car is not a toy and is ready to be released in China this year.

The single seater aero car totes VW (Volkswagen) branding.

Volkswagen did a lot of very highly protected testing of this car in Germany, but it was not announced until now where the car would make it's first appearance.

The car was introduced at the VW stockholders meeting as the most economical car in the world is presented.

The initial objective of the prototype was to prove that 1 liter of fuel could deliver 100 km of travel.

Spartan interior doesn't sacrifice safety

The aero design proved essential to getting the desired result. The body is 3.47 meters long and just 1.25 meters wide, and a little over a meter high. The prototype was made completely of carbon fiber and is not painted to save weight.

The power plant is a one cylinder diesel positioned ahead of the rear axle and combined with an automatic shift controlled by a knob in the interior..
Safety was not compromised as the impact and roll-over protection is comparable to the GT racing cars.

$655 USES 0.9 LITRE PER 100 KM

This is a single seated car

From conception to production: 3 years and the company is headquartered in Hamburg , Germany.

It will be selling for 4000 yuan, equivalent to US$600 or AU$655

Gas tank capacity = 6.4 litres

Speed = 120 km

Fuel efficiency = .9 litre per 100 km

Travel distance with a full tank = 700 km

On sale this year
