Cadillac Elmiraj Concept and new logo?

Named for the design inspiration of a 1967 Eldorado, the 205-inch-long Elmiraj forsakes the hybrid/electric infatuation of recent concepts for the brute force of a twin-turbo, 4.5-liter V-8 engine turning the rear wheels,

3" longer than an XTS, pretty big coupe. Hopefully the platform for the new flagship.

Have you driven the XTS TT or CTS TT yet?

This thing is too retro for me.

I had an XTS this past week but just the 3.6. Sluggish and FWD biases had me disappointed.
Have had multiple employees drive the CTS 3.6TT and BMW 535 back to back and thought highly of the Caddy. I will probably have a ATS (rental) next week, not sure when I will get a chance to drive a TT though.
Can’t wait to see what is out for the Dream Cruise this weekend.

Reminds me of the old V16 concept and that one vert they did as well. Both of which are a VERY good thing.

Big, and handsome. Looks like a proper Cadillac. The twin-turbo V8 doesn’t hurt either.

I really like the road they’re on nowadays.

Those tails remind me of the Jag’s

+1 It looks great though

Took the words right out of my mouth…err fingertips.

They really need to actually make these last few concept cars because they were all so sweet looking, I don’t know how they wouldn’t sell.

I’m not feeling it =/

Damn fine looking car. Dare I say that it’s a beautiful design? Either way, I like this a lot.

I hate the way a lot of motors are extremely underpowered for all that comes with them, 500 HP and they need two turbos to do so? Just seems lame, and more things to break/repair for the consumer, T-Down. Especially the name of the thing, first thing I picture are all the rich arab kids living off their family’s wealth in Monte Carlo.

Yes god forbid GM actually gives you an engine that probably has very little lag and has been tested to last 100k+ miles for their warranty period that comes with that kind of power. This is my problem with people now days, do you realize how much power 500 hp really is? I’m sure the next thing ill see posted by you is that the ZR1 motor is a complete waste too because it’s 6.2 litres and needs a blower to make 638 hp or whatever it’s rated at. This Cadillac car is SUPER nice and I’d love to drive one personally to see it’s road manners. Clearly you aren’t GM’s targeted audience for this ride then…

I work for GM so I would hope so

When I look at your avatar and read your posts I picture a drunk black guy talking/@keyboard lol

Considering the V6TT is ~425 (and probably more for the ATS-V), my guess is they are not tipping their hand to what is coming down the pipe with a V8TT. The LSA has held up to a lot of abuse from what I am reading on the forums with a low failure rate.
As for the looks and target audience, to each their own.

Thats a great looking concept
