Make/Model: Volt

The word

GM captured video of the publicity run for their YouTube channel. The Volt, a range-extended hybrid, aims for a 6-cylinder/250hp feel with a 0-60mph in the 8 second range.

The event, obviously, was to drum up more publicity for GM's flagship green car as well as to put to rest claims that eco-friendly cars are sedate and slow.

Nice little video of the Volt burning rubber, but the question still remains: how much rubber will it burn when it hits the sales floor?
