The Volkswagen XL Sport is one of the surprises presents the German firm in the Paris 2014. This prototype engine incorporates a Ducati origin, in this case a propellant V2 two cylinders optimized to yield 200 hp at 11,000 rpm, catapults to 270 km / h top speed.

A car with motor a motorcycle? You are right. The new Volkswagen XL Sport incorporates the motor Motorcycle Ducati 1199 Superleggera, the same engine that has the honor of being the most potent twin-cylinder mounted on a two-wheeled machine.

In the case of New Volkswagen XL Sport, whose base part is efficient XL1, the declared power of this engine V2 It is 200 hp, with a maximum engine speed of 11,000 rpm! and maximum torque of 13.66 mkg. This marvel of technology will go beyond the mere concept, Volkswagen has confirmed that it will manufacture a total of 250 units, the same number as the XL1.

Lightness + = brutal aerodynamic performance

He weight announced for Volkswagen XL Sport It is 890 kg, It contained quite a figure that has been achieved based on using resistant and lightweight materials. He polymer reinforced with carbon fiber (CFRP) is the material chosen for the bodywork, while the latter magnesium alloys They have been chosen for many of the mechanical components motor and for alloy wheels (Regarding the latter, chosen from 18 inches to 23.9 kg save about a made of aluminum).

The futuristic design and aerodynamic effort (one Aerodynamic coefficient Cd of 0.258), Special pieces placed under body, various vents and the retractable rear spoiler, also they contribute their bit for the New Volkswagen XL Sport can boast a performance of heart. The strength of its V2 engine Ducati source to the rear wheels is transmitted through a automatic gearbox DSG dual clutch 7 gears. The result of the combination and the aforementioned transmission, the official maximum speed declared for the XL Sport It is 270 km / h with an acceleration of 0 to 100 km / h in 5.7 seconds.

Bigger and more racing design

respect to efficient XL1, he New VW XL Sport It has noticeable changes in your body. A typical elements typically incorporate and extreme sports versions – inlets, body almost at ground level, high performance tires measures 205/40 R18 front Y 265/35 R18 behind-, be bonded larger dimensions, with a length 4291 mm (Versus 3,888 mm XL1), a width of 1.847 mm (1.664 mm XL1) and height 1,152 mm (1.153 XL1). Meanwhile, the wheelbase has also increased, namely up to the 2,424 mm (XL1 by 2224).

He outside suit displaying New XL Sport it’s more aggressive the XL1, but still retains that futuristic and almost Science fiction model that accredits an average consumption of 1.0 l / 100 km. could not miss the attractive ‘insectoid’ or elytra (or scissor opening) doors.
