This Is Volkswagen's Crazy Awesome 261 MPG Car


As I recall reading a few headlines a week or two ago, some real life mpg numbers on the LX-1 were disappointing.

Unapproved Method:

yes,it's a smidge better.The VW ARVW of 1981 was Cd 0.15.The 1st 1-liter car of 2006 was Cd 0.159,and the latest iteration is 0.189.
The Schl'o'r car was great in it's time and remarkable by today's standards.With the Fachsenfeld extensible tail,she'd approach Cd 0.12,and with wheel fairings like the 2013 Cambridge University Eco Racer (CUER) would be in Cd 0.10 territory.Stylists would hate it.
