The new Volkswagen XL Sport concept has been unveiled at the Paris Motor Show.
It was developed on the basis of the XL1 and the company claims it is
propelled by the world’s most powerful two-cylinder engine. The Ducati
V2 engine generates 198bhp, sufficient to achieve 168mph while efficiency and emotion have been compellingly recombined.
At the rear of the XL Sport sits one of the finest achievements in engine technology – the V2 adapted from the new Ducati 1199 Superleggera, the world’s most powerful two-cylinder motorcycle.
Like the XL1, of which only 250 units will be built, the Superleggera is also being manufactured in a limited edition (500 units), in a process that embraces hand fabrication and high-precision industrial manufacturing technologies alike.
