“One liter car is a European colloquialism. It refers to a car that gets 100km/liter. “

A one liter car is a car with a 1000cc displacement engine. I have a one liter motorcycle. It goes like a raped ape and gets about 45 miles per gallon.

With the proper transmission and a light enough body, it could easily attain that same mileage as a car. “Our lady of blessed acceleration” would not be a factor in the automobile version. No more holy s**t moments under hard acceleration.
