Chevy Volt 101

Chevy Volt 101
Today is the 100th Anniversary of General Motors and what better way to celebrate than with the Official Introduction of the 2010 Chevrolet Volt, GM's way-of-the-future, plug-in electric vehicle.

Take a not-quite-unbiased walk-around of the car with GM’s Vice President of Global Design Ed Welburn and Volt Chief Designer Bob Boniface. Get a good look at the futuristic-looking interior, the sleek exterior and the plug that's got the power!

For a look at how far the Volt reality has come from its concept beginning, get some insider knowledge from The General himself, Bob Lutz.

Then, find out where the designers themselves got their inspiration from when designing this revolutionary vehicle

But while that's all well and good, what about when we actually take our Volts out onto the street? There's never an outlet when you need one! Funnily enough, they've thought of that too!

If you clicked all those links, you've now completed Chevrolet Volt 101. Congratulations!

So the New Corvette ZR1 has been received with much acclaim from automotive enthusiasts and is one of the most anticipated cars of the year. GMNext100 has exclusive footage of the General's new king being put to the test by the Corvette Development Engineering team in Papenburg, Germany.

According to the test, the ZR1 was able to hit a top speed of 205 MPH. I'm not convinced that this beast isn't capable of more. Let us know what you think in the ZR1 Discussion.
