Cadillac has officially unveiled the 2014 ELR which is slated to go into production this year.

The ELR is basically a production version of the 2009 Conver and uses a twisted version of the Volt’s engine with an modified T-shaped 16.5 kWh lithium-ion battery which allows the car to travel up to 35 miles (56 km) in electric mode.

Placed at the centre of the car, the battery pack weighs 435 lbs (198 kg) and is 5.5-foot-long (1.6m).
It takes 4.5 hours to fully charge the battery using a 240V outlet, while with at a 120V outlet it will take about 12 hours. The battery comes with an 8-year / 100,000-mile warranty.

The engine is a 1.4-liter gasoline unit which enables the sleek two-door coupe to provide a combined output of 207 hp (154 kW) and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm). It can travel from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in around eight seconds, making it about a second faster than the Volt. Topping at 100 mph (161 km/h).

On the inside the cabin shows a luxurious 2+2 layout with leather-trimmed upholstery mixed with wood and chrome accents. A carbon fiber trim is also there along with Opus semi-aniline leather seating and a suede microfiber headliner.
