The VW Wob-Li
Just got sent this email of the VW Wob-Li (well - look at the number plate)
Be very interesting if it was released here
Any one heard about it??
If you could go to Shanghai for a vacation, buy two or more of these cars, one for your wife and one for yourself, and one for each of your kids, have
them shipped to Canada and still spend less money than if you bought a car in Canada. Getting the car(s) into USA, still an ordeal.
This is not a toy, not a concept car. It is a newly developed single seat car in highly aerodynamic tear-shape road-proven real car. It is ready to be
launched as a single-seater for sale in Shanghai in 2010 for a mere RMB 4,000 (US$600)!
Interested? Wait till you learn that it will cruise at 100-120 Km/Hr with an unbelievable 0.99litre/100Km (258 miles/gallon) !!
Impressed? Totally, after you have read all the details below about the hi-tech and space-age material input into this car!!!
The Most Economic Car in the World will be on sale next year.

The photo above is the 'VW 1-litre' concept vehicle, built as a prototype in 2002. It was designed to achieve a fuel consumption figure of less than
1 litre per 100 km, hence it's name, '1 litre'. It had a 1-cylinder, 300cc engine, and the weight of the whole vehicle was 300 kg.
'WOBLI' on its number plate comes from 'WOB' (for 'Wolfsburg'), and 'L-1' for 1-litre.
Incidentally, 0.99 L/100 km is 258 miles per US gallon (the figure used on US press releases). It's actually 282.8 miles per imperial gallon, the
measurements our grandads used in Australia. In actual fact, in testing, the L-1 prototype did even better than that, achieving just 0.89 L/100 km at
the VW test track. That's 316.8 miles per imperial gallon.
If it does go into production, it's unlikely to be sold here, seeing as we still don't get the ultra-efficient Polo BlueMotion model (which is more
economical, lower CO2, faster and cheaper than the Toyota Prius). Let alone other cool VW models like the Scirocco. And rather than producing the
prototype shown above, it's more likely to look like this:

The 1-litre car is powered by a one-cylinder diesel engine, centrally positioned in front of the rear axle and combined with an automated direct shift
gearbox. The crankcase and cylinder head of the 0.3-litre engine are of an aluminium

The '1 litre' name doesn't come from its engine size. It comes from its fuel consumption - LESS THAN 1 LITRE per 100 KM.

Way of the future, it's like Jay Leno in Top Gear said, "cars like these will save on petrol so the rest of us can use it in what ever car we love"
at least it dosen't look to bad, it'd be better to see all those people you see running around in a big ford or commodore on there own in one of
these instead of a large sedan wasting fuel and taking up car parking space.
