#DAS09 Well, GM did it again in Detroit, an actual surprise at a major auto show. This time it was the Cadillac Converj concept, a low slung-coupe powered by the same system found in the Chevrolet Volt.
Product boss Bob Lutz called it "a logical extension of GM's plan to reinvent the automobile." He also announced a name for GM's electric vehicle technology -- Voltec.
Consisting of a large T-shaped battery, electric motor and a four-cylinder motor generator, the Voltec system is capable of producing 273 pound-feet of instant torque and can push the Converj to 100 mph.
Like the Volt, the Converj's range is 40 miles on electric power alone and several hundred miles with the help of the motor generator. GM says the recharge time is 8 hours when using a typical household outlet.

No that's Bob Lutz, not Geraldo Rivera.

Looks like the product of a Gallardo and a CTS coupe that had..."relations". However looking like either isnt a bad thing.

Gorgeous. The important question is: what wheels are driven? The Chrysler 200C got this question right.

My two 15 year old boys want me to have this car! Dad agrees... but Detroit would have to stay true to the concept's design!
