Chevrolet takes four brand new models to Paris this week.

The production version of the Volt, unveiled as part of GM's centenary celebrations on September 16, is the latest all-new model to join the Paris show line-up, which also includes the all-new Cruze saloon, Orlando Show Car, and production version of the Camaro.

Chevrolet's first entry into the European seven-seat compact MPV market, the Orlando, features rugged styling, dynamic ride and handling, a high quality interior and a practical seven-seat 'theatre-style' seating layout that offers fantastic levels of practicality.

The production-ready version of the Volt E-REV (extended-range electric vehicle) clearly illustrates GM's commitment to providing viable low emissions motoring.

Powered at all times by an electric motor, but with a petrol engine to operate as a generator when the battery is depleted, the Volt has the ability to travel up to 40 miles with absolutely no exhaust tailpipe emissions whatsoever.

Unlike conventional electric cars, which have a limited range, the Volt's additional petrol engine means that the car can continue to run once the battery is discharged, as the engine then generates power to boost the battery that powers the electric motor.

The production Camaro features modern styling that is faithful to that of the original 1967 Camaro - a car with a very important place in the history of American motoring.

Despite its heritage-based styling, the Camaro is every inch the modern performance car, with an advanced chassis and a mighty 400PS, 6.2-litre V8 engine.

Sales of the Camaro begin in the US next year, with European sales following in 2010.
