Cadillac Converj timing, specs still up in the air

November 11, 2009 by Matt Brogan  




Reports from the US are saying General Motors will build the plug-in Cadillac Converj, but is yet to decide on a production timeline or specific design elements.

The Converj uses the same electric technology as the Chevrolet Volt, which is capable of travelling around 64 kilometres on plug-in power and is due for production late next year.

It is believed the Converj was the subject of a presentation to GM’s board of directors last week, and was given the green light without a definite production date.

The car was first seen at January’s Detroit Motor Show as a two-door sports coupe with 21-inch wheels at the front, 22s at the rear and adaptive magnetic suspension.

Like the Volt, it was powered by an 111kW electric motor and a 1.4-litre 53kW generator.

GM is still to decide whether the production version of the Converj will use the Volt’s range-extending petrol technology or be a brand new, all-electric performance vehicle.

    Looks like an american lambo

    Yanks, big grilles and small lights. What is that all about? With the exception of the hideous face, the rest of the car is quite nice

  3. Yanzo says:

    looks alright, back reminds me of the lfa

  4. Shak says:

    Ok its good looking, but why dont GM sign off on a car that will sell many more and looks considerably better. teh Holden Coupe 60. Its already got an established name and it looks damned good. Plus the production costs and tooling costs will be miniscule as its just a tarted up commodore. Plz GM dont go back to ur stupid ways and make a two tonne enviro car. Make the new Monaro.

  5. John says:

    so your suggesting they make a 2 tonne dirty monaro instead?

  6. Jeff says:

    That is awful!

  7. Car Fanatic says:

    Looks like a less aerodynamic version of the CIEN

  8. AAA says:

  9. Schah7 says:
