Can We Really Get 200mpg From A VW XL1?
The XL1 was VW's idea of a car of the future, 10 years ago. It was supposed to do around 300mpg, equating to about a litre of fuel for 100 kilometres, but how economical is it really, away from a lab? We took one on an economy run for around 100 kilometres to see how it really stacks up, with a target of 200mpg...

Переглядів 18 тис.День тому
Ever wondered why so many Japanese cars supposedly make 276bhp? To find out in this first episode of our new 'Car Histories' series, we need to go back several decades and talk about Bōsōzoku, iconic Japanese performance cars, and manufacturers telling big, fat lies. - Follow The Guys - Matt: ctmatt201 - Follow Car Throttle - On Facebook: carthrottle On Instagram: ins...

These three sports cars have a lot in common - each has a six-cylinder engine, a manual gearbox, and won't be around for much longer. But rather than cry about it, we thought we'd take these 'endangered' sports cars to Bedford Autodrome for a series of challenges, to see which is best while celebrating the different ways they go about things - we have two mid engined cars and one front engined,...

    when i was 17 (and living in the uk) insurance companies looked at primarily 2 things. this was a long time ago now so it's probably changed a lot since but here goes. one was the badge, so something with a good brand like an Audi or Mercedes was more than a Volvo or Skoda as it was seen as more desirable for street racers or something, but interestingly the model of car within a brands range didn't make much difference, the cheapest model Audi cost the same as the most expensive model or near enough as makes no difference. it was all just down to the brand recognition. two was the engine size in litres, this was grouped up in categories and your insurance was based on what category you fell into. as i recall the categories were something like <1L, 1-1.2L, 1.3-1.5, 1.6-2L. so having a 1L car cost the same as a 1.2 litre without affecting the price but the difference between 1.2 and 1.3 was hundreds of pounds because it bumped you up into the next bracket, but then prices stabilised again until you went to 1.6L or above. this meant there was no advantage of getting the lower engine sizes and you might as well get the biggest engine within the band you were looking in. the third was the value of the car itself, pretty self explanatory on this one. older cars with high mileage were cheaper than newer ones with low mileage. first car was a 1992???ish 1.2l vauxhall nova for anyone who cares.

    I've always loved these. Shame they were & still are so expensive. I believe the Michelin tyres are not an in-stock item either and when they do make a batch are horrendously expensive. I was unaware of the brakes. But if you ask me, such a shame that this didn't influence future more mainstream cars.
