The vehicle in front of us is white and looks like a little racing car. It's got perfect aerodynamic properties and awesome engine power. Two wing doors open at the push of a button. There are no side-view mirrors, only a camera informing the driver about everything going on behind him. This car is a XL1, consuming under one liter of petrol per 100 kilometers (62 miles). There are not many XL1s around, and this one here belongs to Martin Winterkorn, head of VW. He owns this hybrid two-seater, sporting both an electric and a combustion engine.
