Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic body of the L1 weighs just 124 kilograms
Maximum speed 160 km/h; L1 consumes just 1.38 litres diesel per 100 km CO2 emissions reduced to a new best value with just 36 g/km

Wolfsburg/Frankfurt, September 2009. Technological breakthrough for the 1-litre fuel consumption car: International Motor Show (IAA), Volkswagen is presenting the concept of the future L1 in a world premiere that points the way toward the production version. The full hybrid vehicle weighs just 380 kilograms thanks to its carbon-fibre reinforced body (CFRB). With a combined fuel consumption figure of 1.38 litres of diesel per 100 kilometres, this extremely aerodynamic (Cd 0.195!) Volkswagen suitable for everyday use is intended to become the most fuel-efficient automobile in the world. CO2 emissions of the 160 km/h L1 are similarly low at 36 g/km.
