U.S. woman ready to take a crack at world land-speed record

We talk power numbers at AutoWeek all day long. Three hundred horsepower used to be a lot, then 400, then 500. Now we expect our supercars to exceed even that.

Autoweek, Hagerty preview Barrett-Jackson

Barrett-Jackson isn’t just about American muscle cars. In the video above, our own associate editor and newly minted K-car owner, Graham “Kozy” Kozak joins with Hagerty’s classic-car experts, Dave Kinney and Rob Sass, to check out a selection of cars that will soon be under the bright lights of the Barrett-Jackson auction block. Watch as Kozak tries to keep his cool while ogling a Crosley and then totally disses a fakey-doo flaubach.

Volkswagen XL1

This, remarkably, is the production version of the Volkswagen XL1, the most fuel-efficient production car in the world, a car we'll see in Geneva in a little over a week. Barely changed from the concept version shown at the Qatar motor show two years ago, the production XL1 is the first production result of VW's 1-liter project – to design a car that uses less than 1l/100km (282.5mpg imperial) – that started with the lozenge-shaped, tandem-seat 2003 1L and the later L1 of 2009. The XL1 actually beats that by sipping just 0.9 liters with CO2 emissions of 21g/km.
