Cadillac reveals new ‘Opulent Velocity’ performance EV concept
DETROIT — General Motors on Friday revealed a new all-electric Cadillac concept car designed to preview how the automaker plans to keep its high-performance V-Series vehicles relevant for EVs.
The vehicle is called “Opulent Velocity.” True to the name, Cadillac says it’s a balance of ultra-luxury and performance for the V-Series, which is best known for cars with high-performance engines such as the 6.2-liter V8 Blackwing, rated at more than 600 horsepower and pound feet of torque.
“What we’re really looking to do is achieve kind of the best of both worlds. What is kind of the ultimate hyper-performance machine in the future, coupled with ultimate luxury,” Bryan Nesbitt, Cadillac executive global design director, said during a media briefing.
