For Brougham-style sumptuousness, look no further than the opulent dark red interior. The car could take a leaf from Bentley and RR for using only authentic materials – leather, wood and real metallic accents – but it firmly eschews British clubby styling for something much more classic American. The seats, for example, are inspired by 1950s Eames chairs, their decorative bentwood backs incorporating entertainment screens.

Celestiq buyers can also expect plenty of other tech, including individually dimmable sections in the smart glass roof and a display screen made from a single piece of curved glass that extends from an amount A to an amount. The “electronic digital blinds” will allow passengers to watch videos on interactive high-definition LED screens while blocking them from the driver’s view. Combining classic and modern in this way results in a car that is sure to get a big high-five from Americana fans in this country. Will we be lucky enough to buy it here in the UK? Is another British Cadillac relaunch on the way?

The Celestiq, along with recent performance favorites like the V-Series Blackwing models and the brand’s planned return to international motor racing – at Le Mans next year, for the first time in 21 years – makes that more likely. and believable than ever. . You can’t be “world standard” if your only market is America.
