    • Volkswagen to produce 1-Liter car in 2010, should get over 200MPG

    By Darren Murph | May 9, 2008

    Although you can definitely pre-order an Aptera if you’re okay with space-aged design, Volkswagen is hoping to provide another option for those looking for ridiculous MPG and a little bit of normalcy in construction. Okay, so maybe the 1-Liter isn’t exactly standard fare — with its plastic / magnesium shell and all-glass roof — but at least it packs four whole wheels and an iconic VW badge, right? According to Motor Authority, the automaker will be producing said vehicle and pushing it to market as early as 2010, and while the minuscule engine will only take you to 75MPH, it will still seat two people — one in front of the other, though — and get around 235MPG. No word on a price or any of that good stuff, but we’re hearing that they’ll only be produced in “limited numbers” whenever they’re launched.
