Adding to the many important world premieres that General Motors has planned for us at the upcoming 2013 North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January, and which include the new Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra and Corvette C7, is the production version of the Cadillac ELR.
Cadillac’s interpretation of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range electric vehicle project was previewed three years ago with the Converj Concept at the 2009 Detroit auto show.
At the time, we didn’t know much about the ELR, but Cadillac has since told us that it will keep the Volt’s layout featuring a T-shaped lithium-ion battery and an as of yet, unspecified internal combustion petrol engine working as a generator to power the electric drive unit that turns the front wheels.
The single teaser image released by Cadillac today, suggests that the production ELR will remain close to the concept’s edgy styling with some of the differences that we were able to discern including the taller glasshouse, the less pronounced nose and the regular-size exterior mirrors.
