- Cadillac teases concept previewing V-Series design language
- Concept to be named Opulent Velocity
- All Cadillac V models to go electric
The era of manual transmission sport sedans from Cadillac is coming to a close as the American luxury brand teased what it calls the “Future of Zero Emissions Performance.” In a single teaser image, Cadillac showed the first look at a new electric concept car called Opulent Velocity. The car is meant to celebrate the past, present, and future of the V-Series performance brand.
“Opulent Velocity is designed to foreshadow a zero emissions expression of performance and modern luxury leadership,” said Bryan Nesbitt, executive director of Cadillac Global Design. “We will share more later this year, so stay tuned.”
The 2025 Cadillac CT5-V and CT5-V Blackwing models, which were just recently facelifted with updated styling and more technology, will be among the brand’s final gas-powered performance models. The CT4-V and CT4-V Blackwing models, as well as the Escalade-V, will soon be phased out to make way for EVs.
