I say its pretty interesting looking but for now its only a prototype so the looks will change if it will reach production. Also i want to see some specs.

Here is a link to a pic i found--->Caddy

The Cadillac Sixteen is rear-wheel drive powered by an all-aluminum 13.6-liter engine. It includes technology such as Displacement on Demand, which allows the engine to run on four, eight or sixteen cylinders depending on driving conditions. Other advancements include:

7,000 rpm capability
1,000 horsepower and 1,000 lbs.-ft. of torque
Advanced cylinder head port design
Titanium alloy valves and valve springs
Variable camshaft phasing
The interior is a pure expression of design, with fine woods, precision cut metals and crystal used in harmony throughout. The opulent, yet refined, interior features:
Hand-stitched Tuscany leather seats
Hand-woven silk carpets
Custom-designed crystal cluster dials
Custom Bulgari® clock
Reclining rear seats with foot and leg rests
Bose® sound system
DVD Information and entertainment system
Fifth-generation OnStar in-vehicle safety and security communication system

Theres some specs for you.They say theres a very good chance that they are making it.And if they do,the model they had a the Auto Show on January 5th is the one they will make.

Well- the sides and the pillarless windows are all gravy- haven't seen the rear-

But the front is :apuke:

1355 nm to the rear wheels sounds like a stupid idea.
Oh, and a four speed automatic, wtf?

Deakins · 01-09-2003, 08:14 AM

Why is this in here btw? (Car Comparisons)

WakkaWu · 01-09-2003, 03:04 PM

Yea, I think the concept of the engine (Displacement on demand) sounds interesting, the car looks good (Some will love it, some will hate it)

But, I agree whole heartedly with Deakins. 1000+hp/tq to the rear wheel no less!? Common now people. I understand the luxury car with plenty of poke idea. Thats good, Aston Martin, Jaguar, Merc, ect ect have all done this. But I think 1000+hp is just a tad bit to much! Do we really want 70 year old (millionares) driving around in these monsters?

Any how [/rant]

V-16 and all aluminum body... plus the fact that its $200,000 Is all this necessary???? looks to me like a hardtop Prowler

WakkaWu · 01-09-2003, 10:19 PM

But see,it dont matter what it looks like.This car is very unique because unlike all other cars,it actually looks different...it doesnt look like everthing else out there.

Well,let me ask you this...is the new Mercedes Maybach nesessary?$300,000?It goes both ways.If a Bently is worth 200 grand then why wouldnt this be?

Hell why not.Anyone who has millions to spend will buy one.And as I said before,this car has far greater looks then a Bently or Rolls,I say this because Rolls and Bently havent really change their looks for 15 years in my opinion.And this car has such excellent design,is got that sleek,romantic look to it.

It looks like the luxury version of the Batmobile.

It looks like a giant black penis with a chrome head.

Its total and utter excess taken to an absolute extreme, but I bet if the turn the traction controll off it does awsome burn outs.

i like it becuase its fast and its not ugly1

FYRHWK1 · 01-10-2003, 05:20 AM

i didnt see anyone complain when the bugatti came out with these kind of power ratings, all this is is a high powered luxury car, the numbers are for effect. besides, most people who have this car would have a cheauffer driving them around anyway, i'm sure they would be capable of driving it properly.
