1981 Colani 2CV Experimental I

Fuel economy world record set by the Colani 2CV (based on the French Citroën 2CV, 1.7 liters for 100 km with the original 2CV engine and chassis.


In 1981, Colani released a car with record efficiency: Colani 2CV consumed only 1.7 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers! An outstanding budget was not required: the standard chassis of the Citroen 2CV small car was taken as the basis, and a standard gasoline engine was located under the prototype's hood. Improvements were reduced to creating the original wing-type body and replacing standard tires with Goodyear tires with low rolling resistance.
