We can only dream about it in Europe as well
While Vekke shows what can be done in a dedicated individual's garage, the 2L Lupo won't meet Euro V, nor any contemporary comfort or safety requirements ...
If VW wants to sell FE cars, they still need to satisfy all those requirements.
Sure, VW could save weight elsewhere, but it'd also come at a cost.
Though it needn't necessarily be XL-1 ridiculously expensive.
I'm driving my CNG up! for a lowly 3.2 euro / 100km (62 miles).
It's tough to get and keep myself - let alone other people - motivated to do better still.
In this FC territory, the law of diminishing benefits hits home really hard ...
RoI for upgrades is measured in centuries.
If I were to buy Vekke's tune covers, I'll never get the investment back ... simple as that.
