Motorcycle Engine in a Super Car? Volkswagen XL sport

Volkswagen XL sport fitted the fire-breathing 1,199cc V-twin out of the Ducati 1199 Superleggera superbike. (Volkswagen Group’s Audi acquired Ducati a couple years ago, so this is the best kind of corporate synergy we’re seeing here.) The car, which weighs under 2,000 pounds, now has 197hp at its disposal.

It’ll reach a claimed 168 mph and run from 0 to 62 in 5.7 seconds — not typical supercar numbers, but when you consider that the XL Sport does it with less than 1.2 liters of engine under the hood, it’s incredibly impressive. It also retains the XL1’s ridiculously futuristic looks and pushes them even further; it actually looks like an exotic.
