Forthcoming range-extender hybrid teased prior to its Detroit motor show debut. This is the first official image of the Cadillac ELR. The new hybrid model is due to make its international debut at Januarys Detroit motor show. The ELRs styling remains faithful to Cadillacs Converj concept car, which was unveiled in 2009. Mechanical specification is yet to be confirmed, but the ELR is expected to use the same range-extender hybrid technology as the Chevrolet Volt, with a four-cylinder petrol engine used to charge a lithium-ion battery pack, which powers an electric motor. Cadillac has invested $35m in its Hamtramck plant in Detroit to handle ELR production, where it will be built alongside the Volt and Opel Ampera. The ELR is due to go into production late in 2013. While Cadillac does have plans to relaunch in the UK, it is unlikely that a right-hand-drive version will be available in the next three years.
