Nevertheless, the XL1 isn’t intended to be a mass-produced vehicle but rather a specialty vehicle to showcase the engineering talents of the Volkswagen Group.
How many will they make?

Remarkably, the production version looks identical to the concept, right down to its [...] and inset rear wheels. This latter element has been added so that a cover can be attached over the rear wheels to further aid aerodynamics.
Wheel skirts not included! Since the car tapers, I think the wheels look worse exposed! The rims do not seem aerodynamic, either.
