I'd like to see them explain how safe that floor is. Some concepts should remain concepts. This is one of them.

Wouldn't want the unidoor lifts to fail at the wrong time. As far as jumping sharks concepts go I've seen worse.

Wow I love how the top opens up for occupants. Cadillac is one of my favorite concept producers, unfortunately they are almost always just that.. concepts. IMO had they produced some of these I think their image would be better today, and they'd live up to their 'Standard of the World' slogan.

Cadillac Escala - A full size luxury sedan worthy of the carrying the Cadillac banner. It had a 4.2L TTV8



Cadillac Elmiraj - A full size luxury coupe (205 inches long), and powered by a 4.5L TTV8. Also featured a pillarless hardtop which is rare



Cadillac Ciel - Was a bold convertible before the Elmiraj that featured a 3.6L TTV6 with hybrid system. It had unique rear suicide doors



Cadillac Cien - Cadillac debuted the mid-engine RWD Cien in the early 2000's. This bad boy featured an experimental 7.5L Northstar V12!



Cadillac Sixteen - The ultimate halo car, the Sixteen featured a 13.6L V16 engine

Doesn't even need to be a concept car for Cadillac to unceremoniously cancel it, just look at the entire fiasco with the Blackwing V8. No matter what drama Toyota has for their cancelled TTV8 I doubt it would rival the stupidity of GM management.

It's sad to think what could have been. Since they seem to be going ev, the whole shuffling of V, V-Sport, V Blackwing is rather ridiculous. Ce la vie

Took 1 year of Spanish and hated the teacher, switch to French for 3 years but I don't remember much lol. Looking back probably should have stuck with Spanish lol

Just seems like such a waste of their Blackwing program. And the V marque they tried so hard for 15 years to gain respect among M, AMG, RS peers just to dilute it.
