Cadillac has just launched a new convertible concept vehicle called the Ciel. It's a four-seat, four-door drop top which is designed to be the ultimate carriage for a drive up the coast, as well as hinting at Cadillac's aspirations to offer flagship luxury products in the future. Unlike many concept cars, we cant see a whole lot on the Ciel (apart from the rake of the windscreen) that obviously isn't going to make production. Lets hope Cadillac have the courage to produce it, it looks fantastic!
The Ciel is powered by a 425-horsepower, twin-turbocharged version of GM's 3.6-litre V6 engine with direct injection that's augmented by a hybrid system using lithium-ion batteries.
Passengers are well catered for in their individual bucket seats with unique niceties like pull-out blankets, aromatherapy controls in the armrests and a drawer containing sun screen, sun glasses and a towel. Of course, technology is ever-present in the cabin with each seat having its own suite of connectivity options and the center dashboard being topped with an inductive charging surface.
