Chevrolet will Sell Volt in Europe

Labels:

Chevrolet announced at the Geneva Motor Show that it will sell the Volt in Europe, with prices in Germany starting from €41,950 (US$58,560). It will be similarly priced in other European markets, where it will arrive in November 2011.

The Volt's sister car, the Opel Ampera, will also go on sale this year in Europe, at a slightly higher starting price. Unveiled in final production form at the Geneva Show, the Ampera will cost €42,900 ($59,885), but prices can vary in different countries depending on the standard equipment.
Chevrolet said the Volt would be fully equipped with all the usual safety and convenience features, plus leather seats. As in the US, European buyers will have an 8-year/160,000 km warranty (100,000 miles) on the powertrain and the lithium-ion battery.
"Our price in Europe is based on the U.S. Volt price adjusted for transportation cost, import duties, exchange rates and homologation," said Wayne Brannon, CEO of Chevrolet Europe.
The Volt and the Ampera are basically the same car, both being built at GM’s Detroit Hamtramck plant in Michigan, US. There are only minor differences between the two cars, mainly concerning the front and the rear styling. In battery-only mode, the EVs have a maximum range of 40-80 kilometers (25-49 miles) that can be extended to 600 km (373 miles) when the gasoline engine / generator kicks in to charge the battery.
The 111 kW (150 hp) electric motor delivers 370 Nm of torque (273 lb-ft), accelerating the car from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in around nine seconds while top speed is 161 km/h (100 mph). The battery can be fully recharged at any household 230-volt power outlet in three to four hours.

New 2010 Carlsson C25 Super GT Sport Wallpapers

Carlsson calls this a ’self-developed’ automobile, but one attending and you’ll apperceive it still has a lot of Mercedes-Benz underpinnings. It’s apparently a rebodied SL, which Carlsson calls the new Carlsson C25, which will admission at Geneva 2010 this March.
The 6.0 liter twin-turbocharged V12 beneath the awning of the C25 makes 753 application and an batty 1,150Nm of torque, which will booty it from 0 to 100km/h in 3.7 seconds. And 1,150Nm is aloof the bound amount (likely to bottle the automated acumen of drivetrain components) – absolutely apart it has a 1,320Nm aiguille at 3,750rpm.
Seriously, alike in commonly aspirated anatomy a 6.0 liter agent would be putting out article abutting to 600Nm which is already activity to accord you a huge bang in the base back you put the pedal to the metal. It’s one of my dreams (and apparently any motorheads dreams) to acquaintance dispatch from torque in balance of 1,000Nm one day!
The C25 was advised as a ‘Super GT’. It will go into production, but alone 25 units will be made. There’s absolutely article actual absorbing about how these 25 units will be distributed. Each buyer is promised that he’ll be the alone C25 buyer in his country! Once you buy a C25 in the USA, no one abroad can adjustment a C25 and annals it in that country. This agency it will be offered in a best of 25 countries.
Not abiding what’s preventing some affluent guy from acclimation one in some awe-inspiring country about and importing it to his aboriginal country though. Anyone wanna bet if there’ll be one in Malaysia?
