Each autointroductie anno 2014 is accompanied by superlatives about reduced brandstofveruik, whether it is an eco-pastry or a supercar. Used to efficiency, yet not so sexy, but even then, there were already zuinigheidswondertjes made.
BMW ALPINA 323i coupe E21 (1981)
A bit of streamlining and a light engine will do wonders for your consumption. This ’80s 3 Series with extreme nosejob took 1 to 37,5. Not bad…
BMW 325e E30 (1983)
The Bavarian answer to the oil crisis was the strangling of his zescilinders and a tiny straw to breath. That worked in the practice for no meter, but all beginning is difficult.
Audi 100 Avant Duo C3 (1989)
A hybrid from the 80s. The 136 horsepower 2.3 litre five cylinder got help from a 12-horsepower Siemens electric motor to the rear wheels. A Nickel-Cadmium battery pack made for the stream, and on the roof were solar cells to find. Unfortunately, weighing the benefits cannot be determined at the disadvantages as a result of the weight gain.
Citroën AX Eco Concept (1993)
In a time that PSA is still no hybrid air had to help them, there was the poepslome Eco-diesel. This 50 hp scheurijzer that in all things the opposite of the AX GTi was knew with his monstrous torque of 82 Nm and a 0-100 time of 18.1 seconds to write it down. The Cd-value was 0.28 kg while the weight is a miniscule 695 kg was. Only for/downside: he never went in production.
Volkswagen Golf Ecomatic (1993)
This Wave III was ahead of its time, it was the first VAG’that ‘sailing’ was introduced a year or 17 for the Panamera Hybrid. In the lifts of the gas threw this car the link open without mounted motor doorgleed. Do 1.5 seconds of nothing, and the engine is turned off to again to come to life at the touch of the throttle. Start-stop avant la lettre!
The Ecomatic was a flop, there were not more than 4,000.
Toyota Prius Mk.1 (1997)
Not to see, but this four-door model was the prelude to a resounding success for Toyota (6 million hybrids and counting) and absolutely innovative in addition.
Volkswagen Lupo 3L TDI (1999)
The name says it all, the car would be not more than 3 litres satanssap per 100 kilometres should be sipping
Honda Insight ZE1 (1999)
Japanese rival of the Prius, both in terms of performance and in terms of…separate airflow. Ultimately, it was the Prius that is at the longest end drew
Audi A2 1.4 TDI (2000)
The A2 build on the Lupo 3L, with as main elements lichtgewichtbouw and a small, fuel-efficient engine. Plans for a spiritual successor are still in the fridge, but can, under the new’s head of design Hackenberg also so again thawed.
