But we now have  official confirmation that the pure electric Converj is indeed moving  forward as a production car that will be named the Cadillac ELR. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">“The concept  generated instant enthusiasm,” said Don Butler, vice president-Cadillac  Marketing. “Like other milestone Cadillac models of the past, the ELR  will offer something not otherwise present – the combination of electric  propulsion with striking design and the fun of luxury coupe driving.”</span> <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2011/08/new-cadillac-elr-gm-officially-confirms.html" name="more"></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">The  Cadillac ELR will be equipped with a similar electric propulsion system  to the Chevy Volt, featuring a T-shaped lithium ion battery, an  electric drive unit, and a four-cylinder engine-generator. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Like  the Volt, the ELR will use electricity as its primary source of energy  for motivation, with the gasoline engine generator kicking in once the  batteries are depleted. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">General Motors said  that the development of the ELR is well underway with more details on  the powertrain to be released at a later date. </span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">“There’s  no mistaking it for anything but a Cadillac, an aggressive,  forward-leaning profile and proportion showcases a uniquely shaped,  modern vision of a personal luxury 2+2,” said Ed Welburn, GM vice  president, Global Design.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">The announcement on the production of the ELR Coupe comes shortly after Cadillac confirmed the new XTS large luxury saloon and the BMW 3-Series challenging ATS compact sports sedan.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">GM added that it will show a new concept model on Thursday, August 18, at a  special event prior to the annual Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. </span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> </span><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5641924170286237138" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YzNdsEDksr8/TkwkJAOaBdI/AAAAAAAE3ng/72HZaDc4ck0/s400/Cadillac_Hi_Res.jpg" style="float: left;

Opel Says Second Generation Ampera Will be Cheaper

Opel CEO Nick Reilly said the price of the Ampera  will be further reduced by economies of scale due to increased demand  and more localized production: “We have an education job to do on the  technology of the Ampera, but that will come in time. We hope that it  will establish itself as a market leader and we’ll be able to capitalize  on that with a cheaper, more expressively designed second generation  model”.</span> <br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Economies of  scale could also come from fitting the Ampera’s extended-range  powertrain in other Opel and Vauxhall models. If this happens, then the  cost of tooling and manufacturing would drop significantly further  lowering the costs.</span> <br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Nevertheless, </span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">GM </span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">has  to first assess sales of the model before it goes ahead with any  decision, such as manufacturing its next generation in Europe, as it  currently builds it alongside the </span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Volt </span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">at  its Warren, Michigan plant in the US. So far, things are looking good  since 7,000 of the 10,000 units allocated for 2012 are already presold,  with 75% of the sales going to fleet customers. </span> <br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Opel  would also like to give the next-gen Ampera a more aggressive style  that will be more in line with the other models in its range. </span> <br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">The  German firm's designers didn’t have a lot of freedom in the first  generation because of the restraints forced on them by the car being a  rebadged Volt. If they get the green light, the 2015 model will follow  the company's new design “language” , recently previewed in the  brand-new </span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Opel Zafira Tourer</span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">. </span></div><script type="text/javascript"><br />var addthis_config = {"data_track_clickback":true};<br /></script> <script src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#username=snakenoise" type="text/javascript"><br /></script><br /><div style="color: #990000;

And officially, the Germans are still refusing to confirm the A6 Hybrid.</span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">However, Car&Driver magazine is now reporting that it has received confirmation from "several reliable sources within Audi" that the new A6 Hybrid will be sold in the USA starting from next year with a price "somewhere north of $55,000".<a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2011/08/audi-new-a6-hybrid-reportedly-confirmed.html" name="more" style="color: #990000; text-decoration: none;"></a></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It is believed that the U.S.-spec model will be similar to the European version that also goes on sale in 2012.</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The European model employs a parallel hybrid concept combining a 2.0-liter TFSI gasoline engine delivering 211-horses and 350 Nm (258.15 lb-ft) with an electric motor that produces an output of 33 kW (45 hp) and 211 Nm (155.63 lb-ft) of torque.</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Directly mounted behind one another, the four-cylinder gasoline engine and the electric motor have a brief combined system output of 245HP (180kW) and 480 Nm (354.03 lb-ft). A modified 8-speed tiptronic transmission transfers power to the front wheels.</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The electric motor draws energy from a lithium-ion battery system, which weighs in at 36.7 kg (80.91 lb) and is located in the collision-protected area under the luggage compartment. Audi says the luggage capacity is 375 liters (13.24 cu. ft), which is significantly less than the regular model's 530 liters (18.7 cu.ft).</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">What you get in return is a 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint time of 7.3 seconds and a top speed of 238 km/h (148mph), but more importantly, a combined fuel economy in the European cycle of less than 6.4 liters per 100 km (36.75 US mpg) with CO2 emissions of less than 146 grams per km (234.96 g/mile).</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">In addition, Audi says that the A6 Hybrid can be driven up to 100 km/h (62mph) under electric power alone.</span><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;
