The LAPD’s got a new ride, the Chevrolet Caprice PPV. The car has a 355hp and 570kg/m of torque engine. But this isn’t just some Ford Crown Vic LEE with a fancy new body kit; this cruiser is packed with cutting-edge technology.
At 1.5 tons, this life-size model of the Chevrolet Orlando weighs just 167kg less than the real thing. There’s no driving this car, though. Built over two weeks by a team of eight sculptors, the car is parked on a London street as a publicity stunt for the new Orlando.
What to do with all those leftover oil booms that BP used to mop up its oil? If you’re a car manufacturer, you could recycle all of the oil-slicked plastic tubes into new Chevrolet Volts.
The Chevy Volt is coming soon, but for the electric car to be a success its owners its owners will need convenient power access. Which is why 4400 lucky Volt owners will get free charging stations, installation (sometimes) included.
