With the introduction of the Opulent Velocity concept, Cadillac has stated that it is considering a “design study based on experience.”
The brand focused entirely on autonomy, showcasing the creation of two distinct user experiences, controlled by a physical switch on the center console.
The “Opulent” mode activates the car’s Level 4 autonomous capability for a self-driving experience. Meanwhile, the “Velocity” mode features the steering wheel and pedals for the driver to take control.
“Ultimately, what matters is how fast I can get around the track, what my best time is, and the best way to do it, and if I can enable that better through technology, what are the opportunities? And that’s what this study is about,” said Bryan Nesbit, Executive Director of Global Cadillac Design, in a statement.
The Opulent Velocity is also a testbed for new battery kits, cooling technologies, and finishes. Aesthetically, it is impossible not to mention its large butterfly doors, which make entry and exit easier due to the low hip point of the concept, which was presented last Friday at Monterey Car Week.
