The Ducati-Powered VW XL Sport Is a Slice of Ultralight Two-Cylinder Awesomeness

Using the compact, carbon-fiber structure of the XL1, the XL Sport is a dream car for number freaks. At 1962 pounds, the XL Sport is heavier than the 1753-pound XL1. Fitting a motor-actuated rear spoiler underscores the fact that low weight wasn’t as much of a priority as it is in the XL1, of which just 250 will be built. The XL Sport’s aerodynamics suffer due to wider tires, the need for downforce, and its hearty appetite for fresh air.
