“Every aspect of the Volt – from its aerodynamic shape to its battery chemistry – is a testament to the importance of math and sciences,” said GM North America president Mark Reuss. “By encouraging Detroit-area students to pursue these topics, we hope to cultivate the next generation of engineers who will build upon the Volt’s innovative technologies.”
To set it apart from the rest of the Volts, the first model comes with a vehicle identification number ending in BU100002, is painted in Viridian Joule and packs features such as rear camera, polished wheels and additional equipment packages.
Meanwhile, Chevrolet has already started Volt deliveries, with the first batch of 160 units expected to arrive in showrooms in a few days. The first units left the Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant yesterday and will be delivered to buyers in California, Texas, Washington D.C. and New York.
In the United States, Chevrolet Volt has a starting price of $41,000, or $33,500 net of full federal income tax credit. However, General Motors is offering some other financing options, as the company will lease the Volt for as low as $350 for 36 months and a down payment of only $2,500.
