Hello,
I'm Sebastian from Germany and this is my Oeko-Polo. 52 cars have been built by VW / IAV for r&d purpose. The engine is a 2-Cyl. watercooled D.i.-Diesel with a G40 supercharger (with automatically activated magnetic clutch). Max. performance is 40 HP with Vmax up to 139 km/h ;D
More information (in german) here:

We'll exhibit this car together with a genuine Mk2 Cup-G40 while the Techno Classica oldtimer fair in April 2010 (http://www.polog40.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,3527.0.html (http://www.polog40.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,3527.0.html)). Perhaps anyone from here wants to visit us, you're welcome!

Looks lovely, squareback too ;D

cool! I've read about these things before, I've never seen one in real life though. Would be interesting to see.
What MPG do you get out of it?
-
Thats Cool! Funnily enough id just read about them on Wikipedia before coming across this, lol :D
Looks in excellent condition! 8)

Hello again,
yes, the car just ran 2 years on street while the praxis test and was then left in a garage.
In optimal case those cars need 1.7 - 1.9 Liter/100km at 60 km/h (highway). With average driving it needs 3,3 to max. 5 Liter/100km.
-
i'd love to hear wat this sounds like
is there any videos?
-
Don't have any videos yet, I'll have to get some. But the sound is... "special" ;D

If my maths is correct...
1.8L/100km is 157mpg
3.3L/100km is 85.6mpg
5L/100km is 56.5mpg !!
Not bad at all, especially compared to a BlueMotion (though they have a little more than 40bhp!).

Here is a video of the Eco-Polo's running engine, taken by french Polo-enthusiasts during the Techno Classica fair:
