Instead, the Cadillac Celestiq flagship we're set to get will rely on one or more electric motors for propulsion, fed by GM's next-generation "Ultium" battery technology, which is aiming for a game-changing cost-per-unit-energy and optimized design flexibility. But the internal combustion flagship we'll never see will live on, in a sense, through the design of the Celestiq, the Lyriq electric crossover, and the Cadillac EVs that come after.
The car "was a standout with a really wild silhouette," Smith says. "It very quickly became a vision not only for that vehicle itself in the lineup, but for the rest of Cadillac... As a flagship, high-technology, high-priced, hand-built vehicle, it's going to influence the electric lineup, for sure."
Smith concluded his comments on the Celestiq by saying: "We're aiming for the moon with that car, and it will be unlike anything else in its class of vehicle or segment." We can hardly wait.
