Already been done, see here:

The fuel economy is between 2 and 2.5 liters per 100 km. That means its
18 liter tank gives it a range of 900 km / 560 miles! Topspeed 240 km/h /
150 mph. The engine is based on a VW Lupo diesel engine.
There's also a videoclip:

I wonder how it sounds, I don't have speakers here (I'm in a hotel in
Hannover right now).
