VW XL Sport Is Powered By A Ducati 1199 Motor

Published in engineswapdepot.com

Volkswagen recently debuted their XL Sport model which is based on the XL1 platform. Instead of 47 bhp, 800 cc turbo diesel, the XL Sport contains a 200 horsepower V-twin motor from a Ducati 1199 Superleggera motorcycle. The Ducati engine only produces 99 lb-ft of torque but considering the car only weighs 1,962 lbs it is able to reach 0-60 mph in 5.7 seconds and a top speed of 168 mph. Fuel efficiency has never looked so good.
