AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
HIGHLIGHTS:
• Extremely rare 2016 Volkswagen XL1, delivered on 08-03-2016 in Luxembourg, one of only 250 produced worldwide.
• Only 1,672 kilometers driven and recently registered with a Dutch license plate
• Advanced lightweight carbon monocoque with butterfly doors, forged magnesium wheels and carbon-ceramic brakes (dry weight 795 kg)
• Diesel plug-in hybrid drivetrain consisting of an 800cc two-cylinder engine, electric motor, 5.5 kWh battery and a seven-speed DSG transmission
• Fully equipped with the original home charger (220V), maintenance books, trickle charger and original XL1 dust cover
HISTORY & OVERVIEW:
The Volkswagen XL1 is regarded as one of the most forward-looking technological prestige projects of the Volkswagen Group, developed under the leadership of then-group chairman Ferdinand Piëch. The goal was to create the most efficient series-production car in the world, with a record-breaking Cd value of 0.186 and a theoretical consumption of 1 liter per 111 kilometers. Of the limited run of 250 units, 50 were retained by Volkswagen itself and 200 were sold to selected clients via inscription. This specific unit was delivered new on 8 March 2016 in Luxembourg in the color Onyx White metallic. The car has recently been imported to the Netherlands, equipped with a Dutch license plate, and is in an exceptionally low mileage of 1,672 km and in very well-kept condition.
EXTERIOR:
The aerodynamic teardrop-shaped body is made from carbon composite and features the distinctive butterfly doors with pyrotechnic hinges. The paintwork is in Onyx White metallic, applied to very light specifications. The exterior includes a 3.1 mm thick windshield, polycarbonate side windows, and integrated cameras that replace conventional exterior mirrors. The body is mounted on an aluminum subframe at the front and rear, equipped with forged magnesium wheels and specially developed low-rolling-resistance tires by Michelin.
INTERIOR:
The interior combines a carbon steering wheel with a visible magnesium crossbeam behind the dashboard. The sport seats feature carbon shell structures and are partially upholstered in alcantara. In the door panels there are two high-resolution displays for the camera images of the rear view. The interior shows hardly any signs of use, in line with the low mileage of 1,672 km.
ENGINE AND TECHNOLOGY:
The plug-in hybrid drivetrain consists of a centrally located, newly developed 800cc inline-twin engine connected to a seven-speed DSG transmission with dual-clutch and sport mode. The front houses a rechargeable 5.5 kWh lithium-ion battery, while a 10-liter fuel tank is placed in the rear. The suspension features carbon fiber stabilizer bars, redesigned wheel bearings, and carbon-ceramic brake discs. The battery can be charged via the standard 220V power grid with the included charger. The technology has recently undergone a service and operates as it should.
DOCUMENTS:
The vehicle has a valid Dutch registration. The original maintenance books are present, accompanied by the 220V charger, the original battery trickle charger and the specific XL1 protective cover.
It is advised to view the vehicle before making an offer to avoid disappointment. To arrange an appointment, please contact Catawiki. Bids are exclusive of transport and export, unless otherwise stated. Arranging transport, ownership transfer and any export documents/registration costs are the responsibility of the buyer.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
