2014 Paris Motorshow: Volkswagen Reveals the Ducati-powered XL Sport

If you thought that the XL1 was the best automotive to return out of the Volkswagen stable, well, check. this is often the new XL Sport from Volkswagen and it celebrates the assembly of two hundred million cars and what the simplest way to celebrate. just like the XL1, this too could be a feather weight because it options a CFRP monocoque and high-strength steel subframes.

The front suspension options pullrod propulsion for the dampers, whereas the rear has the pushrod setup. The car's 18-inch magnesium-alloy wheels hide the ceramic brakes that square measure seen there. however it's what is underneath the hood that's most fascinating.

The XL Sport gets a 90-degree V-twin found within the Ducati 1199 Superleggera sportbike. It redlines at eleven,000 rate and is mated to a 7-speed DSG and 197bhp is at your disposal. A run from 0-100km/h takes five.7 seconds.

Volkswagen has done justice to the automotive and every one at the Paris Motorshow agree that it's one in every of the sweetest things to land here. It's good and appears sensible, to not forget that it's steam-powered by the center of a motorcycle. the long run is here!
