00:00Welcome to the video from the Car Magazine Tuning Bog.
00:03This time, we're talking about a very special concept vehicle,
00:07the Cadillac Elevated Velocity,
00:09a futuristic electric crossover that raises more questions than it answers.
00:14The study, which was unveiled today on August 15, 2025
00:19at the exclusive event The Quail as part of the Monterey Car Week in California,
00:23is probably hard to classify into a familiar vehicle category.
00:30With a mix of spectacular design, unusual materials and crazy functions,
00:35the Elevated Velocity is less a study for everyday use
00:39and more a glimpse into a radically different kind of mobility,
00:42or to put it bluntly, pretty crazy.
00:47Following last year's opulent Velocity,
00:49an extra-long luxury-class electric coupe,
00:52Cadillac is now presenting the Elevated Velocity,
00:55a crossover that seems to exist on a planet entirely of its own.
01:00The most striking features,
01:02gullwing doors, a display in the steering wheel,
01:05and a body that uses vibrations to free itself from sedentary sensations.
01:10According to Cadillac, it is an all-electric vehicle.
01:14Technical details about the drivetrain are not mentioned, however.
01:18The car hits the road on huge 24-inch wheels
01:21made of an unusual combination of materials.
01:23Flax fibers and plexiglass replace classic alloy wheels here.
01:29The adaptive air suspension allows for variable ground clearance,
01:33which, together with a robust appearance,
01:35suggests a certain off-road capability,
01:38especially in desert regions.
01:40The name Elevated alludes to both the raised body
01:44and the increased comfort in the interior.
01:47The interior is just as spectacular.
01:51The car is designed as a 2-plus-2 seater
01:53and offers various so-called user experience modes.
01:57In welcome mode,
01:58the gullwing doors open automatically,
02:00while the entire interior,
02:02including the seats, dashboard, doors and steering wheel,
02:06shines in soft white.
02:07In addition,
02:09an animation is shown on the display in the steering wheel,
02:12which is complemented by an illuminated Cadillac logo
02:15and the V-series emblem.
02:17If you want to be driven,
02:19activate the Elevatomus.
02:21Then the steering wheel retracts as do the pedals
02:23and the car takes over driving completely autonomously.
02:27A particularly curious detail.
02:30In addition to the outside temperature,
02:32the driver's body temperature is also displayed,
02:35supported by an infrared light
02:37that is supposed to promote optimum performance of the occupants.
02:41Presumably a comfort feature for cold days.
02:44Those who prefer to drive themselves
02:46can select the velocity mode.
02:48Here, the steering wheel is extended
02:50and simultaneously serves as a display for speed,
02:53battery charge, temperature and time.
02:56A head-up display also provides navigation data.
03:00The SandVision system,
03:01which Cadillac claims should provide better visibility in sandstorms,
03:05is also technically interesting.
03:08The Elements defy function,
03:10meanwhile,
03:11uses vibrations in the body to shake off dust and dirt.
03:15A concept that sounds more like science fiction than series production.
03:20Things get particularly weird with the included desert polo set.
03:24Whether you're actually supposed to hit a ball from your seat while driving,
03:28while the car rolls through the desert with the doors open, remains a secret.
03:34There is no information yet about the price.
03:38But considering the choice of materials,
03:41the innovative technology and the show character,
03:43such a vehicle, if it ever came onto the market,
03:46would probably cost around 300,000 euros or more.
03:51Cadillac has also remained silent about the performance,
03:55range or battery capacity.
03:58The only thing that is clear is that the elevated velocity
04:01fits into the design line of the future V models,
04:04as can also be seen in the electric production models Lyric V and Optic V.
