Cadillac Opulent Velocity Concept.

The idea of a fast (Velicity), Luxury (Opulent) car is not a new one. And yet, Cadillac thinks they can bring something new to the table with this new concept.

I remember seeing a vague teaser about this a few months ago and never heard anything since. Today we finally get to see the whole thing. While it looks really nice from some angles, ( I really like the retro-futuristic feel of the rear-end design), it is just a pure concept car with no connection to reality at all. A nice design exercise in a world where Cadillac needs to inspire with a great-looking production car.

Cadillac claims the new concept is “a future vision of performance for the V Series“. This means that of course, they will soon offer V Series versions of their new Ultium-based EVs. But it could also mean an all-new specific V-Series model in the future. Something that would only be available as a V-Series.

Otherwise, the press kit is layered with corporate BS talk like:

.Opulent: Luxury of time

.Velocity:  Art of exhilarating performance

.Iconic profile and hypercar exterior

.Artful integration and user experiences

.Progressive and intentional color, materials, and finishes.

And my favorite: Pure expression of the future

What we really need to see is at least one of the two new EV sedans they’ve been working on.
