Look closely and you’ll notice the XL1’s narrow rear track, especially how the wheels sit inward of the body. Expect the production model to feature full wheel covers, to help clean up the aerodynamics. A curb weight of 1,749 lbs. has been made possible by the use of lightweight materials, most likely copious amounts aluminum and carbon fiber. Only 23.2-percent of the XL1 will be made out of steel or iron.
Like the previous L1 concept, the XL1 will be powered by a 2-cylinder turbo-diesel. This 800 cc engine delivers 47-bhp and 89 lb.-ft. of torque. The XL1 will be rear-wheel-drive, and come equipped with VW’s 7-speed DSG transmission. Adding the extra kick to the diesel engine is a 27-bhp electric motor, which can operate with the diesel or drive the car independently for short distances. There is no official word on the XL1’s electric-only driving range, or if electric mode will be limited to low speeds.

My Dad's VW Karmann Ghia was 1800 lbs + 62 HP, so it's a wee better than the Ghia.
