The 2011 Chevrolet Volt has been finally unveiled by General Motors at the centennial they are celebrating over in Detroit.
The car is designed to work on electric power until the batteries are fully depleted. That’s when a gas engine gets started in order to recharge them. It’s even better if you have a volt outlet to plug your car into, when the batteries are over.
The motor will get you about 150 horsepower from the lithium-ion battery pack which runs through the entire car length. The car will get you about 40 miles in electric mode, and that’s when you have to start the gas motor. The gas motor seems to be a 1.4 liter I-R which eats up gas or E85. The Volt sits of the next-generation Delta platform and it will have the McPherson strut front suspension.
The inside of the car will be really high-tech. The main instrument cluster can be customized and the center console has touch-sensitive controls, Bluetooth for phones and audio devices and GPS.
As for the price, the 2011 Chevy Volt will cost anywhere from $30,000 to $40,000. But there’s plenty of time for that!
