Two cylinder. 51 HP / 64 HP with the electric motor boost.

If you have an olympic bike rider on your tail, you are toast.

Double those numbers at 80 MPG, and maybe you have something.

Cool car. Roughly the displacement of one cylinder in a Duramax.

The poewrtrain comprises an 800cc, 2-cylinder TDI (turbo-diesel)

A diesel motorcycle with a car body.

Whoda thunk it form VW?

If it's gonna be a motorcycle, at least give it two wheels.

If I still lived in a city that would be the kind of thing i’d be interested in. I wish we had more diesel cars in the US. The ones i’ve rented overseas in the past few years have been fantastic.

“combined EPA cycle fuel consumption”

Q: Is this a plug in hybrid? Cuz in those cases I think the mpg can be extremely misleading.

ICE cars are not a sitting target.

They will improve fuel effiency. And still dominate the market 10 years from now.

The Hippy Green Left/ Anti-oil Hawkish Right market is only so big.

The anti-oil hawks will definelty go Volt.

The Hippy Green Left is going to have alot of choices. Prius plug-in,Nissan Leaf,Mitsu BEV(I forget the name)in additon to the Volt.

There are only so many rich Hippies on the Left Coast and Northeast.

I’m a little surprised at the use of magnesium. Didn’t VW have trouble with magnesium engine cases in the 60’s?
