Volkswagen L1 – 1,47L/100KM

Posted on 17, 2009 by Linus

The Most Fuel-Efficient Car in the World.

Volkswagen presented a concept of the future 1-liter fuel consumption car at the Frankfurt Auto Show pointing toward a production version. The full hybrid vehicle weighs just 840 lb thanks to its carbon fiber reinforced body.
With a combined fuel consumption figure of 1.38 liters of diesel per 100km, this extremely aerodynamic (Cd 0.195) VW is intended to become the most fuel-efficient automobile in the world. CO2 emissions of the 160 km/h L1 are similarly low at just 36g/km.

The concept of a one-liter car is that it consumes one liter of fuel per 100km, or about 235mpg. However, the L1’s 1.38 l/100km is closer to 170mpg. Impressive nonetheless. There is no Volkswagen site up yet, but there is the Wikipedia one... We are waiting

The concept is to create a car which is designed to evolve within the cities of the future, whilst retaining the key values of the 21st century, Sounds good to me and looks even better if you check out the finalists here.

There is some really cool rides! The question is, will we ever see any of these in production? I for one hope so.

Posted on 19, 2008 by Linus

Friday everybody and you taught that this was going to start off slow… ladies and gentleman’s we give you the Ferrari Modulo by Pininfarina and we are STOKED. This car was shown on the Geneva motor show in 1970 and was only made in ONE SINGEL EXPERIMENTAL VOLUME, this is truly one of the most SuperFamous Items we brought to you guys.

The Ferrari Modulo is designed by Paulo Martin, for the design house Pininfarina. Paulo has also designed the Peugeot 104 and the Rolls-Royce Camargue he also laid his hands in a company i like a lot Fiat, he drew the Fiat 130 coupé

This is the car of my dreams, its designed in the late 60′s brought into live in 1970 and well its just stunning how timeless and futuristic the design really is. If any company strive on building a sustainable car that runs of some BIO goof, please have this design as a raw-model for your up coming sketches.

I just wanted to give you a glimpse of the interior so you can have some clue of what it feels like to be in this car. So friday starts of pretty good, i will try to serve you some desert but it will be tuff one. So please enjoy your friday and don’t forget to live life every single day as if it was your last.

I’ll be day dreaming about the Ferrari Modulo for the next couple of hours so i catch you later.
