Een van de meest bijzondere technische experimenten van Volkswagen is weer op de markt. Een vrijwel ongebruikte Volkswagen XL1, de futuristische diesel-plug-in-hybride die is ontworpen om slechts 0,9 liter per 100 kilometer te verbruiken, wordt in Nederland geveild.<\/p>\n

Maar achter de geschatte waarde van \u20ac 110.000\u2013\u20ac 125.000 schuilt een intrigerende vraag: is deze auto zeven maanden geleden echt voor minder dan \u20ac 30.000 verkocht?<\/p>\n

De witte XL1, gebouwd in 2015 en voor het eerst geregistreerd in Luxemburg in maart 2016, heeft slechts 1.672 kilometer op de teller staan. De auto wordt aangeboden via Catawiki, het Nederlandse online veilingplatform dat gespecialiseerd is in verzamelobjecten en klassieke auto\u2019s. De veiling sluit op 12 november.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Dinsdagochtend stond het bod na 51 biedingen op \u20ac 70.000, hoewel de minimumprijs van de verkoper nog niet was bereikt. Interessant genoeg bood de veiling ook een \u2018Nu kopen\u2019-optie aan voor \u20ac 107.251, wat lager was dan Catawiki\u2019s eigen geschatte waarde van \u20ac 110.000\u2013\u20ac 125.000.<\/p>\n

Op 24 april 2026 verscheen er echter een ogenschijnlijk identieke XL1 op de veiling van Bonhams in Monaco. Deze auto was eveneens wit en werd in maart 2016 voor het eerst in Luxemburg geregistreerd; hij had 1.426 kilometer op de teller staan en werd verkocht voor slechts \u20ac 29.900, inclusief de opgeld.<\/p>\n

Als de chassisnummers overeenkomen, heeft de auto tussen de veilingen door slechts 246 kilometer afgelegd, terwijl de geschatte waarde bijna verviervoudigd is. Newmobility.news heeft Catawiki gevraagd om het VIN te bevestigen en duidelijkheid te verschaffen over de recente eigendomsgeschiedenis.<\/p>\n

Van Luxemburg naar Nederland<\/h4>\n

Bonhams heeft vastgesteld dat het om een auto met chassisnummer WVWZZZ11ZFK000074 gaat, die in 2015 in Dresden is geproduceerd en via de Luxemburgse importeur Losch is geleverd. De auto werd gebruikt voor promotieactiviteiten door het energietechnologiebedrijf INGEM, voordat hij in 2019 van eigenaar wisselde.<\/p>\n

De Voorbeeld van Catawiki<\/a> is onlangs in Nederland ge\u00efmporteerd, geregistreerd en onderhouden. Of de huidige eigenaar de auto in Monaco heeft gekocht, blijft onduidelijk. Catawiki identificeert de verkoper als een in Nederland gevestigde particuliere verkoper, maar maakt de reden voor de verkoop niet bekend.<\/p>\n

Het verschil in waardering is opvallend, hoewel een schatting geen gerealiseerde prijs is. Een andere XL1 bracht in 2022 bij Bonhams in Parijs \u20ac 97.750 op, wat de volatiliteit van deze kleine verzamelmarkt illustreert.<\/p>\n

De obsessie van Ferdinand Pi\u00ebch voor de \u00e9\u00e9n-liter<\/h4>\n

De XL1 was het hoogtepunt van Ferdinand Pi\u00ebchs ambitie om een auto te bouwen die 100 kilometer kon afleggen op \u00e9\u00e9n liter brandstof. Maar Volkswagens streven naar extreme effici\u00ebntie was al decennia eerder begonnen.<\/p>\n

In 1986 onthulde het merk in Gen\u00e8ve het driewielige Scooter-concept, gebaseerd op de Polo: een lichtgewicht tweezitter met vleugeldeuren die nooit in productie is genomen. In 1999 werd de Lupo 3L TDI de eerste seriematig geproduceerde auto ter wereld die officieel minder dan 3 liter diesel per 100 kilometer verbruikte.<\/p>\n

De XL1 voerde die filosofie tot het uiterste door. Toen de productieklaar versie op de Autosalon van Gen\u00e8ve in 2013 werd onthuld,<\/p>\n

Volkswagen nodigde een aantal geselecteerde journalisten uit om ermee van Luzern naar Gen\u00e8ve te rijden. Onder de gasten bevond zich de Oostenrijkse skydiver Felix Baumgartner, bekend van zijn recordbrekende sprong vanuit de stratosfeer.<\/p>\n

Volkswagen heeft uiteindelijk slechts 250 XL1\u2019s gebouwd, waarvan er 200 bestemd waren voor klanten. De ingenieurs streefden vrijwel zonder compromissen naar effici\u00ebntie: dankzij een carrosserie van koolstofvezel, ingekapselde achterwielen, vleugeldeuren en camera-gestuurde spiegels werd een uitzonderlijk lage luchtweerstandsco\u00ebffici\u00ebnt van 0,19 bereikt.<\/p>\n

De tweezitter woog slechts 795 kilogram en combineerde een 0,8-liter tweecilinder-dieselmotor van 48 pk met een elektromotor van 27 pk en een DSG-versnellingsbak met zeven versnellingen. Het gecombineerde vermogen bedroeg 68 pk, met een topsnelheid die was begrensd op 160 km\/u.<\/p>\n

Met een accu van 5,5 kWh kon tot 50 kilometer elektrisch worden gereden. Het offici\u00eble NEDC-cijfer van 0,9 liter per 100 kilometer, wat overeenkomt met 21 g\/km CO\u2082, was gebaseerd op een opgeladen accu en externe stroomvoorziening. Dit betekende niet dat de XL1 met \u00e9\u00e9n liter diesel oneindig lang 100 kilometer kon afleggen.<\/p>\n

Een uitzonderlijk zeldzaam verschijnsel in Belgi\u00eb<\/h4>\n

Naar verluidt zijn er zes XL1\u2019s in Nederland terechtgekomen, terwijl er in Belgi\u00eb minstens twee exemplaren in collecties zijn gedocumenteerd. E\u00e9n daarvan behoort toe aan de D\u2019Ieteren Gallery, de historische collectie van de Belgische Volkswagen-importeur, en is door autojournalisten op de openbare weg gereden.<\/p>\n

De eerste kopers werden zorgvuldig geselecteerd. Onder hen bevond zich de Duitse ondernemer Wolfgang Grupp, die naar verluidt twee XL1\u2019s voor zijn kinderen had besteld.<\/p>\n

Ondanks zijn technische briljantheid bleek de XL1 uiteindelijk een technologische doodlopende weg te zijn. De constructie van koolstofvezel en de gespecialiseerde diesel-elektrische aandrijving waren te duur en te complex voor massaproductie. Volkswagen richtte zich in plaats daarvan op conventionele plug-in-hybriden en uiteindelijk op de volledig elektrische ID.-serie.<\/p>\n

Toch blijft de XL1 een fascinerende herinnering aan een tijdperk waarin autofabrikanten met elkaar wedijverden om auto\u2019s te maken die minder brandstof verbruikten in plaats van sneller te accelereren.<\/p>\n

Of verzamelaars die ambitie nu wel 125.000 euro waard vinden, is een andere vraag. De veiling op Catawiki sluit op donderdag 12 november. De uiteindelijke prijs \u2013 en de bevestiging van de identiteit van de auto \u2013 zou wel eens bijna net zo interessant kunnen blijken als het voertuig zelf.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
