Reviving the coach-built legacy of Cadillac, each Celestiq will be a custom-commissioned celebration of you and your originality. In a design sense, the Celestiq will deliver in three distinct ways by making a magnetic first impression, eliciting feelings of discovery and fascination, and creating a unique personal connection with the client. The immediate reaction is based entirely on the exterior from.
The elegant fluidity of the uninterrupted feature line carries your eye from front to back, the boldness of the grill and the vertical lighting signatures flowing seamlessly into the sloping windshield. It's the striking minimalistic sophistication that gives an air of ultra luxury futurism. And inside, you'll find each surface engages the senses, from the extensive use of genuine metals to the custom-colored leather.
Technology punctuates the experience. The real wood door panels serve not only as beautiful, decorative surfaces, but also as a state-of-the-art speaker. A crowning achievement is an immense smart glass roof with four zone suspended particle device technology that can also be made clear to give unencumbered views of the heavens.
Finally, the design process will set a new automotive standard, allowing clients to work alongside the design team to customize multiple aspects, nurturing a personal connection unlike any other-- meaning Celestiq is more than a unique piece of art. It's a live experience full of discovery. I can't wait for you all to see this truly artistic expression come to life.
