  Volt SS Hybrid Sports Car
What I say about Chevy SS. It is a super sport hybrid. Chevrolet has benchmarked 8.5 second 0-60 for the base Volt. It is not bad, but I say today make a model in around six flat, give it stouter electric motor, four cylinder gas engines, instead of three battery chargers. Put in possibly potentiometer knob on dash to permit driver an infinite range of adjustability in between economy and performance modes.

And in about styling cues, a red and black SS badge, well placed or heck, may be even green SS badge, to designate its special power. Maybe LED highlighted and dual tips. Its Price is over 10-15% then the price of Volt, and I am sure Chevy would have plenty of buyers.

And the latest in the line is the Naro-A high performance fuel efficient urban vehicle that boasts of delivering 100 miles per gallon from a 400 cc, single-cylinder, 4-valve gasoline engine with a maximum of 20 bhp.
 
Looks that of a motorbike, this one is a compact vehicle designed to carry a single person. All we can say is, it could’ve been better if two could commute; otherwise it is definitely a chic way to put your environment conscious soul at display.
