The Cadillac Converj was developed as a well-appointed grand touring coupe with a bold design and a host of interactive technology.<\/p>\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\">\n<p>The four-passenger Converj concept is intended to show how GM\u2019s revolutionary electric propulsion technology \u2013 called Voltec \u2013 can power a luxury coupe with a typically Cadillac \u201cno compromises\u201d design. The technology enables up to 40 miles of gas- and emissions-free electric driving with extended-range capability of hundreds of miles.<\/p>\n<p>Bob Lutz, GM&#8217;s vice chairman of Global Product Development, said the Converj concept has production substance. \u201cIt\u2019s a logical extension of our plan to reinvent the automobile,\u201d he said. \u201cIt clearly shows what a Cadillac electric vehicle could look like, and clearly indicates that global luxury customers can have a car that has both strong design and electric propulsion with a total range of hundreds of anxiety-free miles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cadillac\u2019s extended-range electric vehicle (E-REV) concept has a new body style that is an evolution of the brand\u2019s traditional Art and Science design theme. An aggressive, forward-leaning arc profile is the foundation for the sporting stance. And more than a Cadillac in form, Converj is also intended to be a Cadillac in substance, with the premium materials, technology and driving dynamics that are hallmarks of the brand.<\/p>\n<h4>Voltec \u2013 innovative propulsion<\/h4>\n<p>The Cadillac Converj\u2019s Voltec electric propulsion system is made up of a 16-kWh, T-shaped battery, an electric drive unit, and a four-cylinder engine-generator. It uses electricity as its primary source to drive the car.<\/p>\n<p>A thermally managed battery pack contains more than 220 lithium-ion cells that provide the primary power to drive the Converj electrically up to 40 miles without using fuel or producing tailpipe emissions. The battery is integrated into the Converj\u2019s chassis and stores electricity from the grid when the vehicle is plugged in. It takes less than three hours to recharge the battery at 240V, or about eight hours from a 120V outlet.<\/p>\n<p>When the battery\u2019s energy is low, the Converj seamlessly switches to extended-range mode. During this secondary level of operation, electricity needed to power the vehicle is created on-board by a flex-fuel-powered engine that operates much like a home generator to create electricity. The engine-generator ensures a constant supply of power for hundreds of miles until the car is refueled or plugged in to recharge the battery. This extended-range mode eliminates the range anxiety that comes with driving pure electric vehicles that offer no backup power when the battery charge is low.<\/p>\n<p>Whether in electric or extended-range mode, the Converj is propelled all the time by an electric drive unit. It converts electrical energy from the battery or the engine-generator into mechanical energy to drive the front wheels. It also delivers 273 lb.-ft. (370 Nm) of instant torque, for a quick launch, and 120 kW of power. The top speed is 100 mph.<\/p>\n<p>There is no compromise in vehicle performance in either mode of operation. To enhance the ride feel, the Converj also features GM\u2019s Magnetic Ride Control; and for even greater efficiency, energy during braking is captured and stored in the battery.<\/p>\n<h4>Pure Cadillac design<\/h4>\n<p>See all <a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/2009-cadillac-converj-concept-gallery\/\">2009 Cadillac Converj Concept<\/a><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no mistaking the Converj for anything but a Cadillac, according to Lutz. \u201cAn aggressive, forward-leaning profile hints at a new, progressive theme and proportion in Cadillac\u2019s design evolution,\u201d he says. \u201cThe new proportion showcases a uniquely shaped, modern vision of a personal luxury 2+2.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The overall shape is reinforced by a prominent, sweeping body line with large, 21-inch (front) and 22-inch (rear) wheels pushed to the edges of the body. The Converj exterior is painted a dark silver tri-coat that GM designers dubbed \u201cReaction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>An all-glass roof incorporates solar panels that help offset power drain from the vehicle\u2019s accessories. Additionally, several aerodynamic and design efficiencies were incorporated to enhance the driving range, including:<\/p>\n<p>* A full under-vehicle cover (belly pan)<br \/>\n* Minimal grille openings that reduce drag at the front of the vehicle<br \/>\n* Low-profile rearview cameras replace conventional outside mirrors to reduce drag<br \/>\n* Wheels are shaped to push air outward for smoother body side airflow<\/p>\n<p>The Converj also incorporates vertical headlamp and taillamp elements, with light pipe technology.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVertical lamps are Cadillac signatures and the Converj builds on the brand\u2019s light pipe technology with bolder light emitting diode (LED) and high-intensity discharge elements front and rear,\u201d said Clay Dean, global design director for Cadillac. \u201cThere is also a unique daylight light \u2018spear\u2019 at the top of the headlamps.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Luxury meets technology inside<\/h4>\n<p>The Converj\u2019s interior has advanced features and luxurious appointments blending efficiency and environmental consciousness. The 2+2 configuration is trimmed in contrasting Winter White synthetic suede \u2013 including the top of the instrument panel \u2013 and Midnight Black leather, with polished aluminum and wood grain accents. Renewable materials are used throughout such as wool-blend carpeting, a headliner made from silk, suede made from post-industrial content and more.<\/p>\n<p>A technologically advanced driver center increases efficiency and reduces the draw on the battery. Features include:<\/p>\n<p>* New, organic light-emitting diode technology used on reconfigurable instrument cluster<br \/>\n* Touch-screen navigation, climate, center-stack controls and audio systems<br \/>\n* Adjustable, overhead white ambient lighting<br \/>\n* Unique \u201cpower on\u201d sequence featuring blue-lit console graphics<br \/>\n* Screen displays for features including regenerative braking, battery charge level and power output<br \/>\n* No inside rearview or outside mirrors; cameras provide surrounding images on a screen placed high on the instrument panel for a full, panoramic view<br \/>\n* Push-button ignition and power-folding front seats<\/p>\n<p>Story by General Motors<\/p>\n<h1>2009 Cadillac Converj Concept Pictures<\/h1>\n<p><strong>See all <a
