The Volkswagen 1-litre car is a two-person concept car produced by Volkswagen. The 1-litre car was designed to be able to travel 100 km on 1 litre of diesel fuel (from L/100km, the International System of Units unit of fuel consumption: equivalent to 235 miles per U.S. gallon or 282 miles per Imperial gallon), while being both roadworthy and practical. To achieve such economy, it is produced with lightweight materials, a streamlined body and an engine and transmission designed and tuned for economy.
The concept car was modified first in 2009 as the L1 and again in 2011 as the XL1.
