The buzzier version of Cadillac's flagship EV, the six-figure Celestiq sedan, was unveiled Friday.
The company said that the show car model is the most advanced vehicle yet. The one-off car is a preview of what the car will look like.
The show car has five high-definition, interactiveLED displays, a 55 inch diagonal screen that wraps around the dashboard, and electronic digital blinds that allow rear passengers to watch video content in private.
A smart glass roof uses suspended particle device technology to divide the roof into four quadrants so that passengers can adjust their own lighting by controlling the transparency of the glass.
The technology in the show car is indicative of what the production version of the car will look like. The Ultra Cruise hands-free driver assistance technology is included. The premium alternative to the Super Cruise system can handle almost every road, including city streets, subdivisions, and paved rural roads.
Cadillac will give more information about its flagship EV, such as the car's battery range and price, when it debuts the show car at the pebble beach concours in august.
According to early reports, the EV could cost $300,000 for a mainstream luxury car. That price would push Cadillac's halo car well above the top variant from other luxury electric vehicles.
The show car is a leap into the future, but it is also designed to evoke the past. The design is reminiscent of a time in Cadillac's history. Designers drew inspiration from early Cadillac sedans and prewar coaches.
