VW 1L Concept will be reality in 2010

The 235mpg VW 1L will become reality in 2010, or so VW says.  VW named the 1L after its usage of 1L/100 km of fuel.  Power, such as it is, will come courtesy of a tiny 0.3-liter engine, pushing the car to a top speed of around 75 mph.

With a near 4 second 0-60 time coming from a clean Adblue diesel powerplant and pumping out 737 lb. ft of torque, this Audi might be just the first in a series of diesel supercars.
