Volkswagen has traditionally been known more for its quirky branding than its bold claims. That didn’t stop the German automaker from recently declaring that it had built “the most fuel-efficient car in the world.”
Though, it won’t be available until 2013, the two-seater L1—which stands for its one-liter fuel capacity—quickly become the talk of Frankfurt. The diesel-electric hybrid engine gets a whopping 157.8 miles per gallon and tops out at 100 miles per hour, according to CarConnection. The L1 also has an “impressive” driving range of 416 miles, which beats plug-in competitors.
