Whenever you try to make a column of some of Cadillac’s greatest cars, a few names pop up everywhere as experts unanimously like the V16, Eldorado, and CT5-V Blackwing.

In fact, it is a kind of sauce to reduce the 1% only to talk about these three, since the list could be more extensive and includes examples from every era. But, if you want an extra compact brand, a model with features from all three could make for a useful Cadillac. Of course, that’s not particularly possible in the real world given Cadillac’s continued focus on CUVs and electrics and less on passenger cars. However, no worries; The creative world of digital car content creators knows how to save them.

More specifically, here’s another hot idea from Vince Burlapp (aka vburlapp on social media), a prolific internet artist who loves to dream up all the latest models across the automotive spectrum and seems to have developed a passion for GM’s luxury brand Cadillac. So, in recent CGI moments, he has envisioned a series of Caddy projects, including the clean DeVille and other land boat sedans, as well as coupes and Eldorado convertibles.

In fact, if you look at his list of social networks and online site (burlappcar.com), this pixel master has created an alternative line of Cadillac where there are no crossovers and SUVs – not even Escalade – but there is an abundance of passengers. cars, including a practical and stylish station wagon. Alas, this time, he’s not here to discuss Cadillac’s potential EV sedans, which are allegedly in the process of being implemented based on the updated technology of the upcoming Ultium, do not dream of a return to the Eldorado.

Instead, he presents us with a vision of an unnamed luxury sports coupe for Cadillac that has no previous contact, although we can easily see a few retro hints sprinkled around the design. It’s also a modern attempt at a two-door Cadillac, as the closed radiator grille seems to point to an all-electric IQ family member. In fact, it would look good alongside the Optiq 2025, 2024 Lyriq, 2026 Vistiq, and Escalade IQ as well as the Celestiq flagships – but only if it has a chance to continue the Blackwing’s great lineage in the novel EV lifestyle if you ask us.

In fact, Cadillac could easily use the Ultium powertrain variant for the stylish two-door coupe – both standard and ‘Velocity Max’ options (680 or 750 hp and up to 785 lb-ft/1,064 Nm of torque) from two-motor AWD The Escalade IQ would turn it into a definitive supercar when combined with lower mass and a more aerodynamic profile, don’t you think?
