Chevy Volt Final Shape - Photos
September 15, 2008 by admin
Only days after the world got a hint of what the production 2011 Chevrolet Volt would look like from some people who spotted one during filming of Transformers 2, there are now official photos of the actual car. Here are series of studio shots of the GM’s biggest hope for the coming years, the Volt, with some of the executives leading development of the car. Vehicle Line Executive Tony Posawatz, Chief Engineers Frank Weber and Andrew Farah, Design lead Bob Boniface and of course Bob Lutz are caught posing with GM’s new star. The car is expected to officially debut next Tuesday during GM’s centennial celebrations at the Renaissance Center.
The basic shape we saw on the movie car appears to be the same but it varies in some details. The shoulder area at the bottom of the side windows is blacked out to replicate some of the look of the original concept.
Comparing the final look, it seems like a lot of the character of the original design has been sacrificed in the name of aerodynamics, which is understandable, but still a shame. The concept was a much more purposeful looking design with the narrow glass line up the sides and the deep, heavy front and the wide stance with full, sensuous wheel arches.
