When whispers started getting louder about Cadillac’s plan of building a production version of the Converj Concept, a lot of people began to wonder whether this was another one of those merry-go-round statements that would be taken back pretty quickly. After all, rumors about a production version of the Converj have been going on for about two years now and on more than one occasion, General Motors has pulled the plug on the project. But now it looks like the green light is finally on. The Cadillac Converj Concept is headed to production as the Cadillac ELR. According to GM, the development of the ELR is currently underway and they are in the middle of testing and developing all the pertinent details of the car. Chief among this is the powertrain, which is expected to carry an electric propulsion system with a T-shaped lithium ion battery, an electric drive unit, and a four-cylinder engine-generator. The whole set-up is pretty similar to the Chevrolet Volt where the ELR is looking into using electricity as the primary energy source with the assistance of a gas engine generator as back-up in case the batteries are all used up. The decision to finally grant production status on the ELR was a long time in the making for GM, but in the end, the company felt like it was now time for the car to be built. “The concept generated instant enthusiasm,” said Don Butler, VP of marketing for Cadillac. “Like other milestone Cadillac models of the past, the ELR will offer something not otherwise present – the combination of electric propulsion with striking design and the fun of luxury coupe driving.” .
10 comments: Cadillac ELR The fact that it is a Cadillac vehicle, I am really expecting it to have an impressive and luxury interior, just like what their other vehicles have. However, I wonder if what’s the engine specification of this one?
 Yeah! I’m expecting it as well that it would have a nice and impressive interior. However, I hope that they would use a boost engine for this vehicle.
 Cadillac ELR is looks so classy and luxurious on its sleek body paint, but I’m quite curious on what will be the interior of this one will looks like even the figure performance of this one.
 Honestly speaking, If I’m going to buy a car right now or needs of my referring for car to buy, I will recommend Cadillac ELR. For me this has the properties and overall package that can give pleasure.
 Funny how i find some of the cars with a the designs, perhaps the only thing you can consider as a top choice is the credibility of its Brand and Cadillac is the first one.
 Seems everyone are so excited on the market production of this one and I can’t blame them why because I feel the same either. Looking forward to its definite date on when will they put this on production.
 It’s been a long time since I started hearing rumors about the production version of Converj. Well, hopefully, this concept of Cadillac will really be produce. People are waiting for this one, and I think it is the right time to build it.
 Recently, I have read about their other concept car, the Cadillac Ciel. However, according to the Cadillac as of now, they don’t have a concrete plan in making a production for this vehicle. I think this would be an awesome production.
 hmm. It seems that the Cadillac have a lot of plan for their future production. I just hope that they also have plan on lining up this concept car into production vehicle. It’s been a long time before they have released their current vehicle maybe its the right time to make a newer one.
