大众在巴黎车展发布了XL Sport概念车。虽然XL1标准版希望成为全球最省油车型，而XL Sport希望成为动力最强劲的双缸车型。该车搭载一台取自杜卡迪1199 Superleggera摩托车的双缸引擎，最大功率147千瓦/197马力，车辆百公里加速时间5.7秒，最高时速270公里。这台1199毫升引擎最大转速11000转，搭配七速双离合器变速器和18英寸锻造镁合金轮圈和前/后205/40 R18 及 265/35 R18高性能轮胎。制动系统为陶瓷刹车盘，车身由碳纤维增强复合材料制成，重量仅为890公斤。该车风阻仅为0.258，这主要得益于它采用的钛金属连杆，推杆后悬，各种镁合金部件和翼型车门，数字仪表群等轻量化配置。

 

Volkswagen XL Sport is a quick yet frugal Ducati-powered concept

Volkswagen has taken the wraps off the XL Sport this evening at the Paris Motor Show.

 

While the regular XL1 wants to be the most fuel efficient car ever made, the XL Sport comes with the world's most powerful two-cylinder engine. It's sourced from a Ducati 1199 Superleggera and develops 197 bhp (147 kW) which grants the vehicle with a 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) run in 5.7 seconds and a top speed of 168 mph (270 km/h).

The 1199cc engine revs up to 11,000 rpm and is coupled to a dual-clutch seven-speed gearbox while 18-inch forged magnesium-alloy wheels are installed on both axles and come wrapped around in 205/40 R18 & 265/35 R18 high-performance tires. Stopping power is provided by ceramic brakes and the body panels are made from carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) to keep weight down to a low 1,962 lbs (890 kg).

 

The Volkswagen XL Sport has a drag coefficient of 0.258 and benefits from titanium connecting rods, pushrod rear suspension, various magnesium-alloy components along with wing doors that open to reveal a digital instrument cluster and carbon fiber cowl extending across the top of the instrument cluster.
