The Fascinating Evolution of Volkswagen's Scooter Concept

Weird ONES - The fleeting nature of concept cars often leaves them forgotten once their moment in the spotlight fades. These vehicles, especially those with unique or eccentric designs, are frequently destroyed. This harsh reality means that even beautiful cars can be scrapped, let alone the odd ones. Today, we dive into the story of an unusual and unique concept vehicle from Volkswagen, known as the Scooter Concept. Unlike many other concept cars, the Scooter had a different fate, as it was later developed further and realized as the production version called the Volkswagen XL1 in 2013.
The Volkswagen Scooter Concept was created by the German manufacturer as part of its efforts to develop energy-efficient vehicles. (Picture from: MotorAuthority)
In the mid-80s, considered a "golden era" for the automobile industry, Group B, Group C, and turbocharged Formula 1 cars promised a bright future for gasoline enthusiasts. However, leading automobile companies began to realize that this golden era would not last forever. Volkswagen was one such company, increasingly paying attention to experimental cars with minimal energy consumption.

A small group of Volkswagen engineers envisioned a future problem and sought to address it. Their idea was to create a car with minimal aerodynamic drag, modest curb weight, high maneuverability, and decent dynamics. Additionally, the car needed to be equipped with a maximum of a 4-cylinder engine with a working volume of up to 1.4 liters and be stylish enough to attract a young audience.

This project was created in secret from the top management, which was quite unusual for a German company. By 1986, the car was ready, and it was bold for Volkswagen. With three wheels, a streamlined front end, and gull-wing doors, the Scooter stood out among the Golfs and Passats of that time, resembling a spaceship more than a conventional car.

The Scooter concept derived its name from a scooter, reflecting its small size and agility. Despite its compact design, the cabin could accommodate two adult riders and had space for a small suitcase behind the seats, making it a practical city vehicle. The unique three-wheeled concept was presented at the 1986 Geneva Motor Show, showcasing Volkswagen's ambition to create a fuel-efficient city vehicle with sporty performance and innovative styling.

The Scooter concept was a two-seater coupé with gull-wing doors and was powered by a front-mounted four-cylinder engine. This engine, with a displacement of 1 liter, produced 40 bhp at 5300 rpm and 74 Nm of torque at 2700 rpm. The power was delivered to the front wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. Weighing just 635 kg, the Scooter promised excellent fuel efficiency and agile performance.

The Scooter's front suspension architecture was borrowed from the Polo of that time, ensuring a balance between performance and comfort. The press release indicated that the car was equipped with two engines, the most economical being a 1-liter engine producing 41 horsepower, while the more powerful 1.4-liter engine developed 90 horsepower, enabling the Scooter to accelerate to 100 km/h in 8.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 220 km/h.

However, road tests revealed that while the Scooter was indeed very economical, with the 90-horsepower engine consuming only 4.7 liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers, it was never pushed to its maximum speed. The car's drag coefficient of 0.25, similar to the Audi A2, contributed to its efficiency.
The Volkswagen XL1 (VW 1-Litre) is a two-seat limited-production vehicle, with only 250 units produced starting in mid-2013, representing the evolution of the Volkswagen Scooter Concept. (Picture from: Wikipedia)
Despite public interest, Volkswagen was hesitant to release such a radical and unconventional car. Nonetheless, the concept of a compact, super-economical car was considered for future projects, albeit without the sporty factor. The first successor to the Scooter, created by Ferdinand Piech, appeared in 2002 as the Volkswagen 1 Liter Car, which was then produced as the limited edition Volkswagen XL1 in 2013, with only 250 units made. | UmRTX_Hr7Ls |
The Volkswagen Scooter concept remains a fascinating chapter in the history of automotive innovation. It showcased bold ideas and forward-thinking design, serving as an example of the endless possibilities that concept cars represent. Though it never made it to production, its legacy lives on as a testament to creativity and experimentation in the automotive industry. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | MOTORAUTHORITY | STORY-CARS | CARSTYLING.RU | WIKIPEDIA ]

Hennessey Venom F5-M : The Most Powerful Manual Car Ever

The Most ONES - The world of high-performance hypercars is driven by one constant desire—pushing the boundaries of speed, power, and excitement. In an era where superlatives like "the fastest," "the strongest" and "the most powerfull" still dominate, Hennessey Performance has introduced a new contender that fits right into that narrative. Enter the Hennessey Venom F5-M Roadster, a hypercar that doesn't shy away from breaking conventions while aiming to shatter the 300 mph barrier. This isn't just another release; it's a statement from Hennessey about what a hypercar should be in 2024.

For years, there has been skepticism about whether manual transmissions could handle the massive power outputs that today’s hypercars deliver. Hennessey, however, has made it clear that the Venom F5-M Roadster is up to the task. Powered by the company’s iconic ‘Fury’ V8 engine, a 6.6-liter twin-turbo marvel capable of producing 1,817 brake horsepower, the F5-M Roadster proves that raw power and manual gear shifting can indeed coexist. The engine revs all the way to 8,500 rpm, unleashing pure adrenaline for anyone fortunate enough to sit behind the wheel.

What truly sets the F5-M Roadster apart from its predecessors is its manual transmission, an aspect that hardcore car enthusiasts have been longing for. Instead of the paddle shifters and drive mode buttons found in previous Venom F5 models, the F5-M introduces a traditional stick shift, complete with a clutch pedal. The shift gate, carefully crafted from billet aluminum, offers a tactile driving experience that’s hard to match in today’s era of automated everything. Hennessey’s decision to opt for a mechanical transmission over an electronic one is a deliberate move, perhaps a subtle dig at Koenigsegg’s simulated manual gearbox found in the CC850.
The Hennessey Venom F5-M Roadster features a lightweight 8 kg, Alcantara-lined carbon fiber roof that’s easily removable with quick-release bolts and latches. (Picture from: TopGear)
That being said, the car isn't entirely devoid of modern technology. While the manual transmission offers a hands-on driving experience, the vehicle still uses electronic aids to optimize power delivery. As speed increases, so does the power output, ensuring that the car's full potential is only unleashed when the time is right. This approach is reminiscent of how Ferrari fine-tunes the power delivery in its turbocharged V8 engines, ensuring maximum traction and acceleration at the right moments.

Then, there’s the roof—or rather, the lack of a complex one. The F5-M Roadster keeps things simple with a single-piece, Alcantara-lined carbon fiber roof. Weighing only 8 kilograms, the roof can be removed easily using quick-release bolts and high-strength latches. Once detached, the roof can be placed on a custom-made carbon-fiber stand, adding a touch of sophistication when it's off the car. This simplicity is a nod to those who appreciate the elegance of a streamlined design while still valuing function over form.

The F5-M Roadster also includes new design elements to differentiate it from its siblings. A unique glass engine cover allows drivers and onlookers alike to admire the massive V8 engine in all its glory. Additionally, the car features a fresh wheel design and a prominent shark fin on the engine cover. These details not only make the Roadster visually distinct but also ensure that the F5-M is unmistakable from the moment it hits the road.

John Hennessey, the visionary founder and CEO of Hennessey Performance, expressed the company's long-standing desire to create a manual version of the Venom F5. According to him, this decision was driven by client demand and a desire to enhance the driving experience. In his words, the F5-M Roadster is a vehicle that heightens every sensory experience, from the sound of the engine to the feel of the shifter in hand. He believes that this hypercar offers one of the most immersive and thrilling driving experiences available today.

For those lucky enough to own one, the Hennessey Venom F5-M Roadster represents the pinnacle of driving pleasure. With only 12 units being produced at a price of $2.65 million each, this hypercar is as exclusive as it is exhilarating. As part of the overall 30-car production run of the Venom F5 Roadsters, these manual versions are already sold out, proving once again that demand for high-performance vehicles with a personal touch remains sky-high. | 0w2XsbvesMw |
In the end, the Hennessey Venom F5-M Roadster isn’t just a car—it’s an invitation to experience driving in its purest form. It’s a rare opportunity to feel connected to every element of the machine while hurtling down the road at breakneck speeds. So, would this be the car to complete your dream garage? For many, the answer would undoubtedly be yes. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | HENNESSEY | EVO.CO.UK | MOTOR1 | TOPGEAR ]
