FactUnder new European badges this is the same Volt, built on the same Detroit-Hamtramck line.
The European badge of the first-generation Chevrolet Volt, on GM's Delta II platform: a five-door liftback with a 1.4 L gasoline range-extender engine and twin permanent-magnet electric motors through a 1-speed Voltec transaxle (GM's E-REV/Voltec system), 16.0 kWh lithium-ion battery, 35 mi EPA electric range and 380 mi EPA total range. Became available to retail customers in Europe in February 2012, with styling changes from the Volt to the doors, fenders, hood and interior; the right-hand-drive Vauxhall Ampera followed for the UK in May 2012, and the Holden Volt (Australia) in December 2012 — the same car under three more badges, not filed separately here. Built alongside the Volt at GM's Detroit/Hamtramck plant.

Audi broke the A7's signature liftback shape for this generation: a three-box sedan version, the A7L, launched in April 2021.

A hydrogen-hybrid Rapide S raced the full 24 Hours of Nürburgring in 2013 — the first car ever to run that race on hydrogen fuel.
The RS 7's twin-turbo V8 can quietly shut down half its cylinders — numbers 2, 3, 5 and 8 — to save fuel when you're not asking for all 560 horsepower.
Sold new in North America in modest numbers, nearly all still on road. About 8,000 on North American roads today (estimate).
The Celestiq is the first car GM ever sold to the public built at its Warren, Michigan technical center.
Emperor Akihito's personal car inside the grounds of the Tokyo Imperial Palace was a gray 1.6L Integra sedan — he kept driving it there into his mid-80s.
