The Cadillac Sixteen is a concept car that Cadillac first developed and presented in 2003, recalling the Cadillac V-16 of the 1930s. Its engine is an aluminum 32 valve V16 displacing 13.6 litres, built only for this car on the General Motors Generation IV LS architecture, with Displacement on Demand cylinder deactivation, and said to make at least 1,000 brake horsepower without forced induction. The car weighs about 5,005 pounds and drives the rear wheels through a four speed automatic. The design combined the Art and Science theme of Cadillac with cues from the 1967 Eldorado, plus ideas from an in house competition led by GM vice president Bob Lutz, and it has a crystal Cadillac logo on the steering wheel and a Bulgari clock. It never went into production, though its look reached the 2008 CTS, and the Celestiq confirmed in 2020 came from its lineage.
