Update: Our first drive is live. First Drive: 2011 Chevrolet Volt

Today we took a drive in a late image for the 2011 Chevrolet Volt. This was our first opportunity to experience GM's series hybrid in both all-electric and charge-sustaining mode (i.e., when the gas engine fires up to power the car's electric motor) in the same test drive. Our first drive will be up in a few short hours, complete with video.

Until then, we'll share some of the photos our senior photographer, Scott Jacobs, took of the Volt today. There's no camo, no staged studio shots — the car's just out in the real world.

Follow the jump to see more, including detailed photos of the cabin.

And come midnight, check back at this link to read our first drive of the 2011 Volt.
