Recently Cadillac is quite actual mark as around her there is
a lot of news. After they confirmed the production of three completely new
models, including luxury sedan XTS, compact sports sedan ATS (which will rival
the BMW 3-Series) and plug-in hybrid coupe ELR, Americans revealed an
impressive new prototype called Ciel. The car looks into the future, but
carries in itself something of the past. Named after the French word for
"sky", Ciel is quite large (with a length of 5174 mm) four-door and
four-seater convertible. The rear doors open backwards and B-pillars
reminiscent of the classic Lincoln Continental convertible by 1961.

Ciel is developed in the GM Design Center in North Hollywood
as Nikki Smart has been a leading designer for the exterior, while Gael Cheeks
is responsible for the interior. Wheelbase of 3175 mm provides sufficient space
for all passengers. The prototype is a four-wheel drive and relies on the
twin-turbo version of the 3.6-liter GM engine with direct injection. Added to
this the car also have an electric motor using lithium-ion pack battery. When
both motors are combined, Cadillac Ciel has a total power of 425 hp and torque
of 583 Nm. This makes the model not only beautiful but also very fast. Moreover - Dean reveals that Ciel has completely new
architecture that will be used in other models. We think it is very possible
that a platform can be implemented in future luxury sedan.
