The ELR, based on the Converj concept shown in 2011, wants to be a more luxurious 2 door version of the the Chevrolet Volt/Opel Ampera. It will also use the same propulsion system, the Voltec range-extender.
Don't forgot that the Volt/Ampera are both front wheel drive with a 150hp (110kW) electric motor, and a range of 80km (50 miles). An 86hp (63kW) 1.4liter petrol engine is used to charge the batteries and help move the car. Both cars complete the 0 to 100km/h (62mph) run in 8,7 seconds and have a top speed of almost 160km/h (99mph).
