At the annual meeting of shareholders 42 Volkswagen AG in Hamburg, the most economical cars in the world is presented: one-liter car. Prototype, which until now has been kept closely secret, and that many people did not believe that can be built, is driven under power Wolfs city from its annual meeting in Hamburg.
Before the annual meeting, the current Chairman of the Board of Management, Dr. Ferdinand Piëch, led this research vehicle to Hamburg from the company's headquarters in an average fuel consumption of 0.89 liters per 100 kilometers. It has an impressive times against demonstrated Volkswagen's position is the cutting edge of modern technology.
The objective of developing a roadworthy vehicle that consumes only 1.0 liters of fuel per 100 km can not be achieved by compromise. All existing technical solutions were considered, and in cooperation closely with many suppliers, replaced by better versions mostly light. The result is a car that looks more like a sports car than a typical research vehicle.
Conceptual necessity for a small frontal area led to form an extremely narrow and very flat body being elected. The body was developed in a wind tunnel, is 3.47 meters long, but only 1.25 meters wide and a little more than a meter in height, and is made entirely of composites carbon fiber. To save weight, it obviously is not painted.
Skin carbon-fiber exterior is reinforced-tensioned the bow area that is not made of aluminum, but instead of magnesium, which is even lighter. Cars, a liter is powered by a diesel engine-cylinder and, centrally positioned front and rear axle combined
with an automated direct shift Gearbox. Crankcase and cylinder head 0.3-liter engine is an aluminum monobloc construction. Aspirated course, direct-injection diesel engine employs advanced high-pressure injection technology to create unit 6.3 kW (8.5 bhp) at 4000 rpm. This gives the vehicle, which weights only 290 kg, an astonishingly lively temperament.
Fuel consumption is a mere 0.99-liter per 100 kilometers. With a tank 6.5-liter, yielding a total of approximately 650 miles without refueling. Because of space limitations, it was not possible to adjust an existing Gearbox. For this reason, a compact, automated 6-speed Gearbox is employed, which is controlled by a switch back in the cockpit.
Running gear made of alloy light, offering optimized tires and rolling resistance 16-inch wheels made from material The extremely easy to completely fill up the economic system with vehicle. Interior is simple in sportingly design, but offers enough room for two people who can get quiet after folding back the turret-like gullwing doors.
An extremely easy construction has been employed for these countries. Seat frames are made of magnesium, and strong, but comfortable fabric covers are used instead of classic upholstery. Despite the lightweight construction of all components, security has been a key element in all stages of developing one-liter car. For example, equipment, vehicle safety concept includes anti-lock brakes, ESP electronic stability program and driver's airbag. elements of the deformation in the front end and space frame construction provide impact and rollover protection comparable to that of a GT racer.
Sports-car-like design demonstrates that Volkswagen cars, a liter is a Spartan car research, but a high-tech car special. It starts with a special seating arrangement. Driver and passenger sit in the center as a monoposto, but in tandem. Mid-engine is installed transversely in front of rear axle. With its complex design (wishbones dual front, the rear suspension DeDion) and combined with a low center of gravity and low overall vehicle weight, the results easy running gear in the treatment of very versatile.
The project team has been impressive in combining driving pleasure with a fuel consumption level never seen before. Cars-1 liter also includes many details and practical nature appropriate. For example, there is an easy access compartment with an accommodation capacity of 80 liters under a specific angle in the back, a reversing camera that helps when maneuvering, automatic locking / unlocking the gullwing doors and a starter button in the cockpit that together allow keyless operation.
The concept of one-liter car - four wheels, low height, with two seats in tandem - gives an ideas for a possible new family of vehicles, which may cover new requirements ranging from ultra-economical vehicle, through lower vehicle lost daily tours for youth sports high-performance super car.
