Cadillac Escala

The Cadillac Escala is a concept car that Cadillac built for the 2016 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, the last of three concepts that began with the Ciel and the Elmiraj. It was first announced in a trailer video on 15 August 2016 and unveiled in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, on 18 August. It previews the design language of future Cadillacs, with horizontal headlamps, OLED daytime running lamps, a four door hardtop shape with a liftback tailgate, and a wide curved OLED screen across the dashboard. A twin turbocharged 4.2 litre V8 producing 500 horsepower, with cylinder deactivation, sits on a version of the CT6 Omega platform lengthened by 4.7 inches. Cadillac president Johan de Nysschen called it a potential addition to the product plan, and the flagship sedan it suggested, the CT8, was cancelled by General Motors.
