VW has updated its original 1L concept for the 2009 Frankfurt auto show.

  • This one is supposedly good for 1.49 L / 100 km or 157.8 mpg (U.S.), compared to actually achieving about 0.89L /100km (~317mpg) in the original.
  • The diesel's specs: 36 hp two-cylinder diesel, vs. a 1-cylinder 299cc and 6.3 kW / 8.5hp in the original.
  • Weight is about 1,100 pounds / 499 kg vs. 290 kg (639 lb) in the original.
  • No info on changes to Cd or A from this model to the previous one (which had a Cd of 0.159).




Let's update this thread as more info is released.
