Just when I thought all rumours were gone about a VW elise-like sportscar, VW comes up with this:
This 850 kg car is powered by a 1.5 TDI with 100 kW/136 bhp at 4000 rpm and a torque of 250 Nm. In combination with the DSG transmission this results in a fuel consumption of only 3.4l/100km, a sprint of 0-100 km/h of 6.3 sec and a topspeed of 230 km/h. The Ecoracer is basically a coupe which can easily be converted to a roadster or speedster as you can see above.
And back are the rumours about the Volkswagen elise-like sportscar, which already started in the period when Piech was leading VAG. He liked the Elise so much he wanted VW to make a affordable light sportscar. But when Pischetsrieder took over the lead many of these projects were cancelled. The rumours now say the car will come in 2009, lets wait and see, hopefully they will not forget the Concept R.
