The L1 prototype is a single seat, aerodynamic, teardrop-shaped 4 wheel mini-car, reminiscent of Bubble cars of yesteryear with a high-tech one-liter diesel engine (6.3kW or 8.5bhp), highway speed of around 120kph (75mph) and gets the holy-grail fuel consumption figure of less than 1 liter of gas for 100kms of travel (0.99liters per 100kms to be exact, around 258mpg). It had a super low drag coefficient of 0.16, no mirrors (using rear facing cameras instead and an internal display) and had an extremely low weight of 290kgs (638lbs) through the extensive use of magnesium, titanium and high-strength aluminum. With its 6.5liter (1.7 gallon) fuel tank, it has a 646km (404 mile) range.
