Volt shapes up.

The article focuses on the Volt, which is considered to be the new plug-in electric hybrid to be released by General Motors Corp. (GM) in Great Britain in 2008. During the Paris Motor Show held in the country last October 2008, it was revealed that the new Volt will be characterized by the use of lithium ion batteries and renewed wind tunnels that are four times longer than a normal GM program. Its windscreen wipers, moreover, are hidden under the trailing edge of the bonnet.
