Dr. Ferdinand Piëch and Martin Winterkorn, two of the automaker's top executives, have now confirmed that the car will see a production run of about 100 units. Germany will be the first market to receive the XL1. Consumers in the U.S. and China will have to wait a little longer.

The production site and vehicle price have yet to be determined.
