  • Cadillac Ciel Concept at the 2011 Frankfurt

    Cadillac Ciel Concept was also introduced at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. The staggering vehicle is inspired by Highway 1 in California.

    Ciel Concept is powered by a twin-turbo 3.6 liter V6 with 431PS (317 kW) and 583Nm (430 lb-ft) of torque. The engine is coupled to a hybrid transmission powering an all-wheel-drive system.

    The vehicle also features:

    • Sloping bolsters on the seats that allow passengers to slide into the seats more comfortably
    • A personal device storage area on the front of the console with inductive charging and Bluetooth connectivity
    • A power-assisted transmission shifter that deploys as soon as the engine is started
    • Lighting in the armrests that combines a natural light well for daytime driving and ambient lighting for nighttime drives
    • Door storage areas that are inspired by premium fashion accessories and open with high-quality zippers
    • Pull-out blankets are available for all three passengers and retract automatically
    • All the seats have heating and cooling features, along with a drawer containing sun lotion, sun glasses and towels, as well as aromatherapy that is controlled from the rear armrest.

    Huge open-top¸ four-doors, elegant lines and enormous front hood? That’s right – Cadillac, but this time – Ciel Concept, which was introduced at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.

    Of course, the picture needs a twin-turbo 3.6 liter V6 to be completed. The power is more than satisfying for a blast in the hair – 431PS (317 kW) and 583Nm (430 lb-ft) of torque. The all wheel-drive is present. However, we don’t like that. The open-tops need to be rear-wheel-drive… PERIOD!

    The interior is awesome:

    * Sloping bolsters on the seats that allow passengers to slide into the seats more comfortably
    * A personal device storage area on the front of the console with inductive charging and Bluetooth connectivity
    * A power-assisted transmission shifter that deploys as soon as the engine is started
    * Lighting in the armrests that combines a natural light well for daytime driving and ambient lighting for nighttime drives
    * Door storage areas that are inspired by premium fashion accessories and open with high-quality zippers
    * Pull-out blankets are available for all three passengers and retract automatically
    * All the seats have heating and cooling features, along with a drawer containing sun lotion, sun glasses and towels, as well as aromatherapy that is controlled from the rear armrest.

    Finally, the Ciel Concept comes with carbon ceramic brake rotors behind the 22” rims. We are in love with this car and hopefully it will go in production. It just has to be seen on the road with four ladies inside it. Sexy!
