This Plug-In Hybrid Chevy Camaro Goes 40 Miles On Battery, Sips E85

The car’s powertrain is a a series-parallel plug-in hybrid with a 150 kW electric motor, 18.9 kWh A123 battery and 2.0-liter engine (powered by E85) with five-speed automated manual transmission.

Up to 40 miles (64 km) on a single charge is achievable.

Someone finally made the Volt I really wanted? The E85 thing turned out badly on my Flex Fuel Silverado, but anyway, the styling of this car is very desirable and the suspension is superior.

So why can't GM do this?

So why can't GM do this?

They did, kind of. They sponsored the competition and provided cars by look of it. I would guess that some of these team members will end up working on EV teams with GM and others upon graduation. So the event is also fostering a farm team league so to speak.

This may be the five-seat "Volt SS" that many Volt owners are searching!

Come on, GM and Chevy! Make it, even if they sell in smaller numbers than the Corvette.

I would buy a Volt powered Camaro convertible on day one.

which means I will never have to open my checkbook because I know it will never happen

This car is on the ATS platform... VOLTEC ATS (or CT3 or whatever they want to call it), please.
