There have been rumors of Volkswagen returning to the 1-liter concept quite some time now. Fuel efficiency is the buzz word for the 1-liter concept, as Ferdinand Piech demonstrated in April 2002 when he drove the car from Wolfsburg to Hamburg, returning a fuel efficiency of nearly 235mpg. It appears that the concept will be revived again, in a better form more comfortable than the last one, though the fuel efficiency will go lower to 158mpg.
The two-seat concept will be powered by a 35hp, two cylinder diesel engine with some hybrid components involved, and a 7-speed, fast switching DSG gearbox. The 3.80 meter long concept will be highly aerodynamic, and weigh somewhere near 1100 pounds. Volkswagen is likely to unveil this 1.49 liter per 100 km concept at Frankfurt, and it may reach production lines by 2013.
