VW 1-Litre-Car proper aerodynamics were key to the low fuel consumption.
The interior is sportingly simple in design, yet offers enough space for two people. An extremely lightweight construction has also been employed for the seats. The seat frames are made of magnesium, and firm, yet comfortable fabric covers are used instead of a classic upholstery.
