Kinda looks like an Audi version of a GTR from the front.
XL Sport uses a 200 horsepower “Superquadro” V-twin engine ripped out of the Ducati 1199 Superleggera superbike. It revs to 11,000 RPM…
That 1199cc engine makes the XL1 a bit heavier at 1,962 pounds, but it’s still a lightweight. It also benefits from different tires and a revised body with much greater downforce. C&D says it may be “perhaps the lightest and most aerodynamically efficient sports car on the planet.”
Volkswagen says this car will hit zero to 60 mph in the mid-5 second range, which isn’t supercar fast but is still quick and impressive for the experiment that it is. More notably, it will do 168 mph. Power is directed to the wheels via a seven-speed DSG.
