Chevrolet Volt (2010) teaser pictures

By Ben Oliver First Official Pictures 17 August 2008 17:39 General Motors has revealed teaser images of the production version of its radical Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid. The styling echoes the new Chevy Malibu saloon, and the designers claim to have added seven miles to the Volt’s electric-only range by smoothing some of the edges and creases in the original shape.

Both are EU5 compliant and are cleaner and more powerful than the current 2.0 TD.
