The Cadillac Elmiraj Concept Previews the Future of Luxury and Performance

Sept. 23, 2013 - PRLog -- With its debut at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, and subsequent appearances in Ann Arbor and at the Frankfurt Auto Show, the Cadillac Elmiraj has managed to create quite a buzz within the industry and among consumers. The dramatic design leap has actually taken many by surprise; the folks at Motor Werks Cadillac of Barrington, a premier Chicago area Cadillac dealership (http://www.motorwerkscadillac.com/about-us/), are embracing the concept and eagerly looking forward to a possible future flagship vehicle based upon its platform.

Inspired by the 1967 El Dorado, the Elmiraj showcases the next evolution of the celebrated Cadillac Art and Science design philosophy. A thoroughly modern take on the classic grand coupe, the elongated hood and overall sleek, streamlined styling clearly work together to enhance and emphasize the elevated status of this stunning luxury 2-door.

The Elmiraj provides ample seating for up to 4 and measures 205 inches long. Riding on polished chrome 22-inch x 9-inch wheels, with ceramic brakes and monoblock calipers, the Elmiraj certainly packs all the eye-catching flair expected of a premium luxury performance flagship. The extended wheelbase, prominent grille, and smooth flowing lines give the vehicle an elegant and sophisticated air that also hints at the robust power that lies beneath its hood.

Based upon the twin-turbo technology of the 420 hp V6 that will powers the 2014 CTS Vsport, the rear-wheel drive grand coupe concept features a burly 4.5L twin-turbo V8 that delivers a scorching 500 hp. You can be sure that the advanced engineering that went into this car is geared to provide a thrilling yet smooth ride with the outstanding driving dynamics that Cadillac is famous for.

The interior features superior craftsmanship, meticulously detailed with Brazilian Rosewood and backlit titanium trim and camel leather upholstery. The instrument cluster features a transparent analog tachometer and speedometer, with a large widescreen display set just behind them.

Is this a glimpse of a future Cadillac flagship production vehicle? At this point it certainly looks like that’s where Cadillac is heading. At Motor Werks Cadillac of Barrington they are feeling pretty confident that the return of a big, dynamic, signature Cadillac vehicle, such as the Elmiraj Concept, is inevitable.
