After a year of teases, General Motors revealed the Cadillac Celestiq, a $300,000 ultra-luxury electric sedan that the automaker says is the most Cadillac Cadillac that ever Cadillac\u2019d. <\/p>\n

The Celestiq is Cadillac\u2019s first major effort to capture some of the high-end market currently dominated by the likes of Rolls-Royce and Bentley. As such, GM is heaping on the superlatives with the description of this Ultium-powered, 55-inch digital display sporting flagship EV \u2014 despite still only being the show car version of what is expected to be a production-ready vehicle out later this year. It\u2019s \u201cthe purest expression of Cadillac\u201d that was \u201cinspired by the brand\u2019s 120-year heritage,\u201d chockablock with \u201chandcrafted\u201d materials and all of GM\u2019s most sophisticated technology. <\/p>\n

But what about the car itself? The low-slung fastback shape calls to mind Porsche Panamera or Mercedes-Benz EQS \u2014 but the comparisons pretty much stop there when you start drilling down into the details of the design. The rear end of the Celestiq features four sets of angular brake lights, two on each side, that stretch all the way to the wheel wells. It\u2019s sure to be the Celestiq\u2019s most distinguishing \u2014 and polarizing \u2014 design detail. <\/p>\n
