Porter Chevrolet, your leading Chevrolet dealer in Newark, Delaware, gives you a review on the 2011 Chevrolet Volt. The Volt is a rechargeable electric car that can travel for up to 40 miles on a single charge. When the charge is used up and immediate recharge is not possible, the Volt uses a range-extending gas generator that produces enough energy to power it for hundreds of miles on a single tank of gas.
The car has a futuristic and stylish interior with spacious seating for four. The 1.4L engine is capable of flex fuel capability allowing either gasoline or ethanol to be used to extend the range. The Volt's electric mode delivers an impressive 150 horsepower and a top speed of 100 miles per hour. The Volt is an outcome of GM's strong commitment to the future since it does not use fuel and is emissions-free.

The Volt scores high in terms of convenience and safety features. Hi-tech controls and plush upholstery, informational displays, a touch-sensitive infotainment center and Standard Bluetooth distinguish the Volt's interior from other vehicles in the market. The Chevrolet Volt is embarking on a new era of electrification of the automobile by creating a new class of vehicle known as the Extended-Range Electric Vehicle, or E-REV since the Volt uses electricity to move the wheels at all times and speeds. The Chevrolet Volt can be plugged either into a standard household 120v outlet or use 240v for charging, which takes between three to eight hours.

The Chevrolet Volt offers excellent driving performance in a surprisingly quiet interior. GM estimates that the Volt will cost about two cents per mile to drive while under battery power compared to 12 cents per mile using gasoline priced at $3.60 per gallon.

Porter Chevrolet proudly presents the 2010 Chevrolet Corvette C6R GT2 version. It was in the late 1990s that General Motors launched one of the world's best cars in the field of competitive racing - the Chevrolet Corvette. The Corvette competed within the class known as GT1 till this year in the ALMS series. Now the Corvette has been shifted to the GT2 class thereby ensuring that Corvette Racing re-evaluates its strategy while building the new version. The Corvette C6R GT2 version was the outcome of this need to enhance the performance capabilities of the Corvette even further.

Corvette Racing had to redesign the C6R keeping in mind the requirements of the GT2 class. They have continued with the V8 engine in the GT2 version of the Chevrolet Corvette. General Motors wants to promote environmentally conscious racing and hence the Chevrolet Corvette C6R GT2 car's engine power is very much resolute on fuel efficiency and burning cleaner fuels as speeds by. The latest Corvette C6R proves that performance is achievable without compromising on superior fuel efficiency and lower greenhouse gas emissions. Corvette Racing's inaugural run in the ALMS GT2 class was hailed as the green pioneer of GT2.

Corvette Racing's maiden run ended with their car finishing second. Just three races into the GT2 competition, Corvette Racing got their first race victory using the C6R GT2 model leaving behind a Ferrari F430 GT.
