The Volkswagen Formula XL1 Concept is Set to Debut in Qatar
The 200 mpg Volkswagen Formula XL1 Concept is set to make its debut at the Qatar Motor Show later this week. No, that was not a typo, as VW's new hybrid is designed to average over 200 miles per gallon.
The Volkswagen Formula XL1 Concept runs off of "a two cylinder TDI engine, electric motor, lithium-ion battery pack and a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission." Roughly translated from car-speak, this means that Volkswagen's new concept combines a tiny engine with an aerodynamic frame to achieve an unheard-of MPG for a production car. If all goes well at Qatar, the Formula XL1 Concept will see production in a few years. Get pumped.
