I've gotten that same Email forward with photos of a VW from 10+ years ago with the retiring chairman of VW driving it.
I have yet to see any mention of it being a real car that is being built in China nor any photos that were not taken as part of the VW press release.

All of the VW versions have 4 wheels, the black version that is the oldest has the two rear wheels right next to each other, they also comply with all crash test standards that I've seen and the black 1 litter car wasn't built because in the USA market it would have to have been sold for $17,000 and they didn't feel like it would sell well.
