Cadillac Opulent Velocity Electric Sports Car Concept Teased With ‘Exhaust’ Sound
Cadillac is going electric … very quickly.
GM’s luxury marque has already confirmed five electric models as it works toward becoming a zero-emissions brand by 2030.
It is now stepping things up a notch with the release of a teaser for an electric sports car concept.
It’s called Opulent Velocity, which is apparently a self-explanatory name.

Only a few cropped and blurry images have been revealed that suggest it will be very sleek, but don’t show its shape or size in full.
More intriguing is a sound clip included in a video that offers a taste of its “exhaust” note.
Cadillac didn’t explain it, but it appears to combine a synthesized internal combustion engine note with the futuristic whirr of an electric powertrain.
“Opulent Velocity is designed to foreshadow a zero emissions expression of performance and modern luxury leadership,†Cadillac design boss Bryan Nesbitt said in a press release.
“We will share more later this year, so stay tuned.â€
THIS IS WHY THERE’S A ‘1000’ ON THE CADILLAC ESCALADE IQ’S TAIL
Cadillac pegged the announcement to the ongoing 20th anniversary celebration of its V-Series performance lineup, which is today comprised of turbocharged and supercharged models.
The brand’s last dedicated sports car, rather than a performance version of one of its mainstream lineups, was the Corvette-based XLR of 2004 to 2009.
Cadillac currently competes in the IMSA and WEC sports car series with the V-Series.R hybrid coupe.
