Cadillac Ciel Concept Unveiled Today Pebble Beach Calif Auto News Luxury. Official News Video provided to SBARTSTV Courtesy GM. PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Cadillac today unveiled the Ciel concept, an elegant, open-air grand-touring car inspired by the natural beauty of the California coast. The Ciel — pronounced “CL,” the French translation for sky — is a four-seat convertible that opens a new chapter in Cadillac’s design and product ascent, pushing the brand’s Art & Science philosophy into a new stratum. Ciel is a new expression of Cadillac’s historical grandeur, as well as a celebration of open-air motoring. “Large, expressive luxury is innate to Cadillac and the Ciel recalls that heritage, while suggesting where the brand can go in the future,” said Clay Dean, global design director for Cadillac. “Authentic luxury is driven by experiences, not just products, and Ciel is about the experience of the journey.” The spacious and elegant Ciel is a grand gesture that explores themes driving Cadillac’s explorations into range-topping flagship luxury. It is powered by a twin-turbocharged version of the 3.6-liter Direct Injection V-6 engine, paired with a hybrid system using lithium-ion battery technology.
The United States and Europe may be going through tough times but not China. Another sign of its rapid rise is that sales of luxury cars are predicted to hit a new record this year. For example Italy’s prestige car maker Lamborghini expects China to overtake the United States as its number one market. China correspondent Huey Fern Tay reports.
