The ads were created by Goodby, Silverstein and Partners, and consists of :60 Chevrolet brand “anthem” spot that spans 100 years of Chevrolet history, three :30 spots that illuminate Chevy”s connection to defining moments in American life; a :30 spot related to the brand”s long-time relationship with baseball, and a :30 spot starring the Volt.

Refresher: The 2011 Chevrolet Volt is powered by 16-kWh, “T”-shaped lithium-ion battery that powers the electric drive unit, which allows it to drive 40 miles on battery power alone. The system puts out 149-hp and a maximum torque of 273 lb-ft, allowing the Volt to go from 0-60 mph in about 9 seconds, hitting a top speed of 100 mph. The battery can be re-charged by plugging into a household outlet and takes 4 hours to recharge on 240 volts, and about 10-12 hours on a standard 120-volt outlet. The Chevrolet Volt also carries an 84-hp 1.4 4-clyinder engine that allows the five-door, FWD sedan to travel additional miles while averaging a fuel-economy of 50 mpg. A fully charged battery and full tank of gas will allow the Volt to travel 310 miles. Prices for the 2011 Chevrolet Volt start at $41,000 but with a full federal income tax credit (which range from $0 to $7,500), the Volt can cost a total of $33,500.

The campaign is inspired by a new brand theme, “Chevy Runs Deep,” and features important new Chevrolet products such as the Cruze compact car and the Volt electric vehicle with extended-range capability.

“As we prepare for Chevrolet”s centennial in 2011, we”re beginning a new chapter in Chevy history,” Ewanick said. “This is a brand that has touched all Americans. We”re proud of our heritage and eager to let people know how we can create a better future through vehicles like the Cruze, Volt and other fuel-efficient models that will be coming soon, including a new sub-compact car and the Spark.
