VW XL Sport Is Powered By A Ducati 1199 Motor

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.
