Photoshop voodoo gives close-up view of production Chevy Volt

Autoblog reader Michael C has a knack for seeing things we miss. In 2006, he noticed that an image of the yet-to-be-released 2008 Cadillac CTS covered in cloth could be easily manipulated in Photoshop to reveal the car's entire front end. GM recently gave us a similar peek of the production Chevy Volt on a segment that aired on ABC News, and Michael C has once again used Photoshop to give us a very clear view of the production Volt's front end.
Yesterday, of course, we got our fill of the production Chevy Volt when video of it on the set of Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen hit the web and a spy shot of the car's iPod-like interior surfaced. While screen grabs from that video showed us an overall view of the Volt from a distance, this is the first time we have an idea of what the car looks like from point blank range. The front end is ultra slippery, a far cry from the concept's unaerodynamic face, but the general look is similar. We're not too far off from GM's official reveal of the production Volt, which could happen as soon as the Paris Motor Show in October. Check out a higher-res version by clicking the pic above, along with all the images we've collected of the production Chevy Volt so far. Thanks for the pic, Michael!

PetroZero posted this a few weeks ago. This is good work, but we beat him to the punch and have the top half exposed as well...

"We're not too far off from GM's official reveal of the production Volt"
I'm not exactly waiting with bated breath. Despite the fact that I probably won't ever actually own a Volt, it's probable that I, like all other taxpayers in the US, will get to *pay* for one, since a massive taxpayer subsidy is the only way that GM can stay in business for more than about 2 or 3 more years.
