CADDY COOL
This electric Cadillac gives luxo-barges a good name
This is the production spec Cadillac Celestiq EV. And already, there are a few things we feel we need to clear up. First, it’s hardly a production car: each Celestiq will be entirely hand built. And second, that rather puts us in mind of another car manufacturer who also just got through designing and developing an electric luxury car, and shall not be named. It’s only reasonable we start with the immense, elongated shape you see in these pictures: a huge, fastback, Kamm-tailed four-door riding on the wheelbase of your average school bus. Six pieces of cast aluminium are all it takes to build the entire underbody of the Celestiq. Cadillac hasn’t pegged down official power and torque numbers just yet, but the ballpark is about 600bhp, 640lb ft and a 300-mile range.
