it appears there's nothing fancy about the drivetrain other than lightweight, entire car = 1800 lbs, the drag-coefficient is what's most impressive, .189 is insanely low, this car must be tiny eh, that's like less than 1/2 the drag of a 458.


so vw is accomplishing this primarily with very light weight and very minimal profile?
