The Elmiraj Concept showcases a new vision for luxury driving and the top of the brand\u2019s expanding range.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cCadillac is fueled by the creativity of our designers, led by Ed Welburn,\u201d said Bob Ferguson, senior vice president, Global Cadillac. \u201cElmiraj provides a look inside the Cadillac Studio on how we envision performance and luxury for the next generation of luxury drivers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A modern update to the classic format of a two-door grand coupe, Elmiraj is a pure expression of streamlined design and engaging rear-wheel drive performance.<\/p>\n<p>At 205 inches (5207mm) in overall length, Elmiraj is four-seat coupe with presence and poise. Taking up from where the memorable Ciel Concept left off, Elmiraj is a statement of pure luxury and performance with a purposeful character and proportion.<\/p>\n<p>The concept advances Cadillac\u2019s philosophy of dramatic design and performance, and its commitment to lightweight, agile cars. Elmiraj is constructed with chassis and structural elements of an ongoing Cadillac vehicle development project slated for future production. This new vehicle architecture expands the brand\u2019s commitment to lightweight RWD performance, exemplified in the ATS sport sedan and the all-new and elevated 2014 CTS launching this fall in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cElmiraj advances Cadillac\u2019s provocative modern design and performance, contrasted with bespoke craftsmanship and luxury,\u201d said Mark Adams, Cadillac design director. \u201cIt explores performance driving, as well as how we\u2019re approaching elevating the Cadillac range and new dimensions of Art &amp; Science philosophy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Elmiraj is powered by a 4.5-liter twin turbocharged V8 delivering an estimated 500 hp. The engine takes the baseline technology from the new Cadillac Twin Turbo V6 featured in the upcoming 420-hp 2014 CTS Vsport edition, and expands it to the classic performance format of a V8 engine.<\/p>\n<h4>Exterior Proportion<\/h4>\n<p>With a heritage of imaginative designs, Cadillac approaches concept cars as a method for projecting design forward rather than simply exaggerating or \u201cteasing\u201d future production models. Elmiraj was created from this mindset, and therefore suggests new territory for Cadillac Art &amp; Science.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis concept is the second chapter, following the Ciel Concept, of our exploration of the personas of true luxury,\u201d said Clay Dean, executive director of advanced design. \u201cThis project originated around the simple persona of \u201cthe drive,\u201d or the visceral experience of driving a great luxury coupe. It\u2019s an expression of the confidence and poise you feel driving a high-performance car, which we feel is an essential element of top-level luxury.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The dramatic proportion communicates power and performance. A long dash-to-axle front profile, a Cadillac signature, gives the coupe a performance-oriented form. The long wheelbase and clean body side characterizes the car\u2019s spacious dimensions and elevated status.<\/p>\n<p>The fast cabin sits within a fuselage where taut fender lines spline through the full sectioned body, literally blending art and science. Cadillac\u2019s vertical light signature is represented in both the headlamp graphic and tail lamp. A gently applied feature line in the sheet metal extends the full length of the body side, connecting those vertical front and rear elements.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cElmiraj is about poise and proportion,\u201d said Niki Smart, lead exterior designer. \u201cWe wanted a mature statement for Cadillac, where simplicity and subtle adornments create a purposeful presence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Elmiraj contains design elements emphasizing Cadillac\u2019s capabilities for engaging driving performance in its production portfolio. Two vents in the car\u2019s long hood are functional, acting as hot air outlets for the twin turbo engine. Elmiraj has 22-x-9-in. aluminum wheels are backed by large ceramic brakes with Cadillac monoblock calipers. The car\u2019s rich blue exterior finish wears the brand\u2019s Vsport designation, Cadillac\u2019s new level slotting directly under the high-performance V-Series.<\/p>\n<p>The face of Elmiraj experiments with new visual elements, yet is unmistakably Cadillac. The grille emphasizes the car\u2019s substantial road presence. The Cadillac Crest appears in a conceptual form, streamlined and tailored to the car\u2019s overall design. This design idea for a revised crest reflects the fact that Cadillac\u2019s unmistakable symbol has evolved dozens of times through history to mark new eras or design achievements.<\/p>\n<h4>Crafted Interior<\/h4>\n<p>The interior of Elmiraj blends elegantly crafted luxury and generous space with driver-focused performance elements. The upper section of the instrument panel is a single piece extending across the full width of the car, while the lower forms a cockpit space tailored for performance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA concept provides not only an opportunity to explore new design ideas, but to pursue new techniques for elegant craftsmanship and materials,\u201d said Gael Buzyn, lead interior designer.<\/p>\n<p>Backlit titanium trim curves from the cowl to the doors, dividing the rich upper camel leather from the wood trim. Cadillac Studio craftsmen handpicked fallen Brazilian Rosewood, a wood veneer prized for its use for hundreds of years in home furnishings and musical instruments. The wood is hand-cut into three dimensional sections for perfect control of the grain flow.<\/p>\n<p>The car\u2019s instrumentation features an analog tachometer and speedometer that are transparent. Directly behind the analog gauges sits a wide screen, high resolution display which projects driver information and the output of a front-mounted camera. A 10-inch touchscreen for navigation and connectivity can be concealed inside the instrument panel when not in use.<\/p>\n<p>The 2+2 layout features high-performance seats, designed to support spirited driving while also delivering luxury accommodation. Elmiraj passengers might actually lobby to sit in the back. The rear bucket seats each contain a valet feature to ease entry and exit. The front bucket seat slides 10 inches forward while the rear bucket seat slides 4 inches forward to meet the passenger, then slides him or her back into position once seated. The rear bucket seats recline for additional comfort.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the most celebrated automotive designs through history have been luxury coupes<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were influenced in particular by the 1967 Eldorado, both its actual design and the fact that in its time that car was a very stark contrast and a new direction. More recent design like the CTS-V Coupe and the ELR are provocative,\u201d said Dean, the advanced design director. \u201cBoth of these cars were major statements of performance and luxury and drove Cadillac forward into new territory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Designers at General Motors\u2019 advanced design studio in North Hollywood, Calif., under the direction of Frank Saucedo, led the development of the car\u2019s interior and exterior. Elmiraj was hand-built by in-house craftsmen in Michigan.<\/p>\n<p>Story by GM<\/p>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                <a href='https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2013_Cadillac_ElmirajConcept-2-1536.jpg' class='tipi-lightbox'>\r\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"983\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2013_Cadillac_ElmirajConcept-2-1536.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"2013 Cadillac Elmiraj Concept\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2013_Cadillac_ElmirajConcept-2-1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2013_Cadillac_ElmirajConcept-2-1536-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2013_Cadillac_ElmirajConcept-2-1536-1024x655.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2013_Cadillac_ElmirajConcept-2-1536-100x64.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2013_Cadillac_ElmirajConcept-2-1536-770x493.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2013_Cadillac_ElmirajConcept-2-1536-293x188.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2013_Cadillac_ElmirajConcept-2-1536-1400x896.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n                <div class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption'>\r\n                The new Cadillac Elmiraj Concept is a design vision for a four-seat coupe with presence and poise, 205-inches in length.
