Secret Cadillac Coupe Finally Revealed After Six Long Years

Six years ago, we reported on a mysterious Cadillac coupe that was revealed in a design patent. The company remained tight-lipped about the model, but they’ve finally showcased it on Instagram.

var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]};
adpushup.que.push(function() {
if (adpushup.config.platform !== “DESKTOP”){
adpushup.triggerAd(“4d84e4c9-9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a”);
}
else{

adpushup.triggerAd(“6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657”);
} });

Unveiled as part of GM Design’s From the Vault series, the mystery model is known as the ‘expressive coupe’ study and it’s simply stunning. As you can see, it mixes elements from the Escala concept with more modern design cues. The resulting car is a thing of beauty and one of the coolest things to come out of GM since the Buick Avista concept.

The company didn’t say much about the car, but noted the “coupe was created as an internal exploration of Cadillac aesthetics. It shaped a portfolio of products on the road today, including the CT5 and CT5 V-Blackwing.”

window._taboola = window._taboola || [];
_taboola.push({
mode: ‘thumbnails-a-mid’,
container: ‘taboola-mid-article’,
placement: ‘Mid Article’,
target_type: ‘mix’
});

window._taboola = window._taboola || [];
_taboola.push({
mode: ‘thumbnails-oc-2×1’,
container: ‘taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic’,
placement: ‘Mid Article Thumbnails Organic’,
target_type: ‘mix’
});

Unfortunately, the CT5 doesn’t look nearly as good as the coupe. That said, the model has an expressive front fascia with slender headlights, muscular intakes, and a wide grille. They’re joined by a sculpted hood and bright trim.

Moving further back, we can see a long hood that flows into a rakish windscreen and a sloping roof. Further below, there’s flowing bodywork and a prominent shoulder line. We can also see sizable wheels and a distinctive rear end.

The interior is a little bare bones, but the coupe has leather seats with fancy belts as well as a rotary controller or shifter. Designers also gave the car metal speaker grilles and restrained wood trim.

Unfortunately, the study never went into production and Cadillac has abandoned coupes altogether.
