Cadillac is electrifying its lineup, but so far that has only translated into a slew of crossovers, SUVs, and one massive sedan; the $340,000 Celestiq. That seems to be changing. At least when it comes to concept cars.
The American brand is teasing a new concept vehicle called Opulent Velocity, which appears to be a low-slung sedan or coupe. Here’s everything Cadillac told us about it: It’s electric and has zero emissions, it celebrates 20 years of V-Series Cadillacs, and it has an exhaust note.
We can hope this car is V8 powered, but I doubt it. Despite making a bold sound as it goes by, this thing is going to be an EV with something along the lines of Dodge’s “Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust,” if I’m willing to bet. GM is planning more PHEVs, but there is no indication that the Cadillac brand – GM’s first brand to be fully electrified – is part of that plan.
The video above is the most telling about the concept vehicle, but below I’ve taken some of the best photos and added the one image Cadillac sent so we can try to get a better look at this thing. In any case, it is not a crossover.
The only other thing Cadillac said is that we’ll learn more about the car “later this year,” which could take several months. As soon as we know more, you will be the first to know.
