General Motors is still busy planning the electric revolution even if things don’t go according to plan – not internally due to many problems with the software and the BEV3 system and the Ultium suite of technologies and not externally due to a possible downturn in the EV market.

Chevrolet Blazer EV it’s finally out, and the 2024 Silverado EV RST is also coming in the first half of the year. As for the other C-labeled brand in the lineup, Cadillac’s lineup will be more exciting, expensive, and expansive.

On the luxury front, the EV lineup will soon include the Chinese-made 2025 Optiq CUV, the 2024 Lyriq (available from $58,590), the 2026 mid-size three-row Vistiq. SUValong with the 2025 Escalade IQ and 2024 Celestiq, of course.

Even more, rumors claim that Cadillac is also working on two future EV sedans under the IQ label – both based on a revised Ultium design variant and featuring alongside or replacing the CT4 and CT5 series as well as the defunct CT6. (which is still alive and well in China).

As for the creative world of digital automotive content creators, they are looking for additional zero-emissions vehicles from Cadillac – including reviving the beloved Eldorado name. The idea comes from Vince Burlapp (aka vburlapp on social media or burlappcar.com), a prolific online artist who likes to dream up the latest designs in the entire automotive scene – and also seems to be well placed for the American luxury brand.

Obviously, he knows very well that at the moment there are no rumors about the popular Eldorado being revived – there is no word about the Cadillac coupe or its replacement either. Anyway, here they are, again – this isn’t the first time this pixel master has tried to bring the duo back to life digitally. On this occasion, though, it’s clear the vision has nothing to do with the grand V8s of yesteryear. Instead, it’s all about absorbing electrons and not causing harmful emissions, at least not locally.

The styling is simple enough – the classic Cadillac edges are present and are offset by ‘Art Deco’ motifs updated for the 21st century and adapted for automotive use. Up front, there’s a ‘fake grille,’ and the headlights are narrower than a sarsaparilla leaf, with LED DRLs keeping the vertical theme of their SUV counterparts.

On the other hand, the profile (complete with big wheels) and the rear are completely speculative, of course, since there is nothing to confirm this ambitious design project in the real world. Alas, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t dream of Cadillac reviving its nameplates for a new generation of customers, right?
