Rendering: Cadillac and Lincoln Sedans Meet to Recall Their Land Yacht Memories

America was the battleground for classic luxury cars from Cadillac and Lincoln a while ago – but these days, they’ve been left behind as the ICE vs. EV war begins.

In terms of zero emissions, we find passenger cars like the Tesla Model S (Plaid), Lucid Air (Sapphire), or the recently updated Porsche Taycan (Turbo S and Turbo GT), all vying for the title of fastest or fastest. EV sedan in the world. ICE-powerful opposition only comes from legacy manufacturers, of course, and Cadillac works hard to match the German trifecta. Lincoln, on the other hand, not so much — not in terms of passenger cars, at least.

Last year, sales of Cadillac’s CT5 were very good – but now, in the first quarter, the big sedan has faltered at home in America. Indeed, it could be due to the fact that the refreshed 2025 model year is just around the corner, and everyone wants the updated CT5, CT5-V and Blackwing. Instead, if you want to get EVs from them, Cadillac is gearing up for a big lineup.

Officially, it will include the 2025 Optiq CUV from China, the 2024 Lyriq midsize, the upcoming family-oriented 2026 Vistiq trio, as well as the Escalade IQ and Celestiq flagships. But rumors strongly believe that Cadillac will also deliver several electric sedans in the ‘near’ future based on the updated Ultium platform of EV technology – one the size of the CT5 and another larger to replace the extinct. of the CT6, which is now only available in China as a second-generation business saloon.

Again, Lincoln, on the other hand, is no longer thinking about EVs and has gone back with its parent Ford with plans to bring out large three-row SUVs that could compete with the Escalade IQ and possible offerings from Chevy or GMC. However, that doesn’t mean the creative world of digital automotive content creators won’t dream of a time when Cadillac and Lincoln land yacht sedans ruled the landscape.

More precisely, Vince Burlapp (aka vburlapp on social media or burlappcar.com) is a prolific online artist who likes to dream up the latest designs in the various automotive fields, and has often wondered if Cadillac and Lincoln shouldn’t return to their passenger car roots more often. . than not. Therefore, he has created Coupe and Cadillac convertible models and Lincoln as part of the Eldorado and Mark (X) series.

But he doesn’t think Cadillac or Lincoln will revive these names because the sports car industry is so vulnerable. Instead, he’s now looking ahead to some future Lincoln and Cadillac sedans that could bring back the fun and excitement of calling them land boats — albeit without the greenhouse gas emissions. Instead, he dreams of these larger Caddy and Linc sedans as potential successor solutions to the Tesla Model S and Lucid Air problems. So, these are his thoughts on the modern (EV) versions of the Cadillac Deville and the Lincoln Continental – models that can easily show the Mercedes EQS how it works when trying to fight the Model S and Air.

What do you think – yes or no? Of course, this is easier said than done – Cadillac could feature Ultium tech in a large sedan format quite easily if it plays with the Celestiq and makes it a standard four-door. But for Lincoln, at this point, I’m afraid it’s a seemingly impossible task to bring the Continental back as a zero-emission passenger car, right?
