The ARVW (Aerodynamic Research Volkswagen) concept car has been built by Volkswagen in the late 1970s specially as an object of aerodynamic research of the Volkswagen company to trace correlation between a vehicle body shape and fuel consumption at a high speed. A tuned six-cylinder turbodiesel engine and standard gearbox were used while the body was made from aluminium and composite materials. In 1980 it was the fastest diesel car in the world, reaching the top speed at 362.07 km/h. (224.9 mph)[1]
