The all-electric Cadillac Celestiq, the marque's first hand-built production car since the 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham.
The model is a four-door hatchback presenting a mid-century modern aesthetic.
The Celestiq has a low-slung fastback profile, but its wheelbase exceeds that of a Cadillac Escalade.
With 655 hp and 646 ft lbs of torque, the car is claimed to cover zero to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds on its way to a purported top speed of 130 mph.
The interior features a 3-D-printed steering-wheel casing, hand-polished aluminum controls, and options that include leather floors and eucalyptus-fiber mats.
A smart-glass roof features four quadrants for passengers to control opacity.
The car embodies America's "very optimistic, very strident view of the world" in the 1950s, '60s and '70s, according to Michael Simcoe, Cadillac's vice president of global design.
The Celestiq is Cadillac's most technologically advanced production vehicle to date, which factors into the car's next-level pricing compared to others in the automaker's model line.
Cadillac hopes the Celestiq will capitalize on the brand's legacy while catapulting the automaker into the future.
