Volkswagen says they’re planning to produce a 1-Liter automobile, ready for sale by early 2010. The body of the vehicle will be made of plastic and magnesium. A one-cylinder engine with a top speed of about 74 mph will power the gas sipping car.

With the rising price of fuel, the main selling point for this vehicle is that it will get 235 mpg (hippies are going to love this thing). That might sound like a fantasy to some, but its true. VW developed a concept version back in 2002.
