If you could build a Cadillac concept car, it would be

Cadillac entered the automotive world in 1902, and since then, it has built some memorable cars like the DeVille, Eldorado, Seville, Escalade, and CTS, to name a few. It has also launched concept cars like the recently released Opulent Velocity. This wild electric car blends ultra-luxury with ultra-performance. If you could put it into production, would you choose it over any other Cadillac concept? If not, which one would you choose?

Our lead image is the Cadillac Sixteen, a sedan designed to beat the giants. Under the hood is its namesake V16 engine. The cabin is streamlined, with four seats, lots of leather, and some controls for various gadgets in the back seat. In 2003, when Cadillac was still struggling to find its place in the market, it became a true flagship.

It’s far from the only car worth considering. In fact, there are so many that we can’t possibly list them all here. However, we’ll pick a few, including the Cadillac Cien. It debuted in 2002 and features a 7.5-liter V12 engine with 750 horsepower and deployable wings.

In 2010, the automaker unveiled the Area concept car, which was designed to weigh no more than 1,000 pounds. To achieve this, the designers used a 3D lattice as the car’s frame. Apparently, it would run on compressed air and would be able to travel 1,000 miles on a tank of air. If only it were that simple.

Of course, it wasn’t just new cars to look at. In 1959, Cadillac unveiled the Cyclone concept, a stunning rocket-like coupe with a bubble roof, a giant rear wing, and hidden rear wheels. Before that, in 1956, it unveiled the El Camino concept, which lacked the bubble roof but still had a flashy rear wing at the back.

If it were up to me? I’d still go with the Sixteen. Think of it this way. As long as the car itself was good, it would have quickly elevated Cadillac’s status. It was also an excellent breakout for a front-wheel-drive flagship. Thankfully, the CTS carried that banner into production, and now there are cars like the CT5-V Blackwing and Celestiq.
