DETROIT — General Motors Co confirmed Wednesday it will build a luxury electric car based on the technology used in its Volt plug-in hybrid for Cadillac as the automaker also studies plans for an all-electric small car for its mainstream Chevrolet brand.

GM did not disclose the timing for production of the battery-powered Cadillac dubbed the ELR, but people familiar with the plans said the plug-in hybrid will be built in 2013 as a 2014 model.

The two-door ELR coupe revives plans for GM's Cadillac Converj concept car that won acclaim for its bold design when shown at the Detroit auto show in 2009.

The sources asked not to be identified because details of the rollout of GM's first luxury electric car have not been announced.

The news comes at a time when Toyota Motor Corp has begun marketing its 2012 Prius plug-in hybrid, a competitor to the Chevrolet Volt. A plug-in Cadillac would be a rival to the $97,000 Karma hybrid sedan that Fisker Automotive is rolling out as a 2012 model.

With the ELR announcement, GM continues its push to seize the mantle of "greenest automaker in the world" from Toyota. GM, like other major automakers, also needs more fuel-efficient cars as the industry pushes toward the more stringent U.S. requirements that will be in place by 2025.

Former GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz introduced the Converj in 2009 as a concept vehicle, something automakers routinely do to build excitement for their brands and explore design ideas.

A year later, the automaker's board approved the Converj for production, but that decision was later reversed and since then the timing of an electric Cadillac has been uncertain. GM also scrapped plans for what would have been a second electric vehicle for the brand earlier this year.

GM Chief Executive Daniel Akerson has driven GM more aggressively toward electric vehicles since taking the top job a year ago as the automaker prepared for an initial public stock offering to reduce the stake held by the U.S. Treasury. The government still owns about a third of GM's common stock.

GM's push under Akerson has centered on rolling out plug-in hybrid technology in a broader range of vehicles to recoup its investment in the money-losing Volt. By taking the Volt technology into its luxury brand, GM could reap more profits and drive down the technology's cost.

"The concept generated instant enthusiasm," Don Butler, vice president of Cadillac marketing, said in a statement. "The ELR will offer something not otherwise present -- the combination of electric propulsion with striking design and the fun of luxury coupe driving."

The Volt has a 400-pound lithium-ion battery to provide an electric-only range of 25 to 50 miles. After the battery is depleted, a 1.4-liter gasoline engine provides power.

Toyota says that its Prius plug-in hybrid will have a range of 475 miles, and will be able to drive 13 miles on electricity alone on a full charge. Its battery can fully charge in 90 minutes using a conventional household 110-volt outlet.

GM said the ELR would be powered by a lithium-ion battery like the Volt but provided no detail on its range.

GM officials made clear that the ELR will be built to appeal to buyers of a luxury brand closely associated with horsepower and performance.

In May, sources told Reuters that GM canceled plans to develop a plug-in hybrid based on the Cadillac SRX crossover platform.

GM also is exploring building an all-electric subcompact car for the Chevrolet brand, the sources said. The battery for that car's powertrain would be supplied by A123 Systems Inc , which was just awarded a contract by GM for unspecified future electric vehicles

A pure electric Chevy subcompact would be a competitor for Nissan Motor Co's Leaf, which was introduced late last year like the Volt.

GM's subcompact cars under the Chevy brand are marketed as the Sail in China, the Beat in India and the upcoming Sonic in the United States. GM and its China partner, state-owned SAIC, have pledged to work together to develop electric drive vehicles.

A Chevy spokesman declined to comment on those plans. "We are exploring others (body styles), but we're just not ready to make any announcements," Mike Albano said.

GM's plans to revive the Converj concept were first reported by the website Green Car Reports.

2014 Cadillac ELR Confirmed For Debut In January

The world is slowly but surely moving to a greener get up, and apart from homes and our lifestyle, cars, too, play a vital role in ensuring that there is an earth worth living on for the next generation. In fact, General Motors just confirmed that the 2014 Cadillac ELR model will be debuting officially from next month onwards at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. The 2014 Cadillac ELR has undergone testing earlier this year, where it relied on a similar range-extended electric drive system that is found on the Chevrolet Volt, and if you were to study the rather shadow-laden image above, it seems to us that the coupe’s styling has remained pretty much similar to the 2009 Converj Concept.

The 2014 Cadillac ELR will be a two-door vehicle, where it will be rolling off at GM’s Detroit-Hamtramck plant from later next year, accompanied by the Volt. Other than that, Cadillac has not revealed anything else for the public to know concerning the ride, so that means we just have to wait for three and a half weeks more until January 15 passes by our calendar. And yes, this means the world will not end this Friday…

Tore fakt seegi, et Cadillacil pole kunagi olnud nii väikse kubatuuriga mootorit - isegi 1902 aastal oli mootor 1,6 liitrine.

väike auhind ka siis.

Pilt

The 2014 Cadillac ELR won this year’s Eyes on Design award for best production vehicle.

The annual Eyes on Design Awards for design excellence at the Detroit auto show were presented late Tuesday as the last event of press days.

The awards, sponsored by the Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology, go to one concept and one production vehicle. For best production vehicle, Cadillac’s Volt-based extended range electric ELR beat out the Corvette Stingray.

The concept award ended in a tie between Ford’s macho Ford F-150 Atlas and the Nissan Resonance crossover. They beat the striking and aggressive Hyundai HCD-14 sedan, which the designer Chris Chapman said resembled “a cat with its ears pinned back.”

ELR testimine talveoludes, mingil Michigani järvel.
Videot vaadates tundub et korralikuma testi oleks saanud kasvõi Tallinn-Tartu maanteel teha :)

Cadillac ELR regen on demand brakes win 2014 Green Car Technology award

Just like the Oscars, Green Car Journal decided a few years ago to up the number of nominees for its annual award. For the annual "Green Car of the Year" award, given out at the Los Angeles Auto Show each year, there are five finalists. For the "Green Car Technology" award, there are a fantastic ten. At the 2014 Washington Auto Show today, the Cadillac ELR and its regen on demand brakes managed to beat out the nine other finalists to claim the second annual "Green Car Technology" award.

What is the purpose of the "Green Car Technology" award? Green Car Journal says it wants to reward "technologies that enable significantly improved environmental performance in vehicles today," which is why only fuel-saving technologies that were "in use on American highways during the award year" can be considered.

The Caddy's brakes beat out the Acura Sport Hybrid SH-AWD powertrain, the Audi 3.0-liter turbodiesel engine, the BMW carbon-fiber passenger shell from the i3, the 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine used by Ford, the plug-in hybrid powertrain in the Honda Accord, Hyundai's hydrogen fuel cell technology, the regenerative brakes in the Mazda i-ELOOP, the plug-in hybrid powertrain used in some Porsche models and, finally, the Ram 3.0-Liter EcoDiesel engine.

NCE has developed a convertible conversion for the 2014 Cadillac ELR.

Brought to you by the same team who axed the roof of the Nissan GT-R, Range Rover and Porsche Cayenne, NCE is ready to offer its recipe for the very few people who actually purchased the 2014 Cadillac ELR which kicks off at 75,995 USD (41,000 USD more than the Chevrolet Volt).

Addressing to a limited crowd, Newport Convertible Engineering says U.S. owners of the ELR can ship their cars to the firm's main headquarters in California, while international clients can send it to the company's facilities in Barcelona, Spain or Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The conversion will be offered in limited numbers while pricing is available on request.

NCE surely won't be expecting lots of customers since Cadillac delivered only 58 ELR units in February and 41 cars a month earlier. December was ELR's first month on sale during which just six people placed an order.
