Volkswagen XL Sport

As France’s capital city plays a giant runway of sorts for its respective Fashion Week, here we find a surprising new silhouette from the designers at Volkswagen. The XL Sport is set to debut at the Paris Motor Show beginning tomorrow, a collaboration between corporate cousin Ducati that combines motorcycle-like movements and agility with automotive power. Clocking in with 197 horsepower, the XL Sport will feature Ducati 1199 Superleggera V-twin under the hood. The real surprise is the XL Sport’s aerodynamic, nimble build, which has been armed with a pushrod rear suspension, wide tires, lift-reducing airducts at the underbody. While we’ll likely have to wait for the car’s full unveiling at the Paris Motor Show for release details, interested parties can take a gander above and learn more from the press release here.
