Supercar, Europe on Cadillac Agenda
Cadillac may not have a supercar in its lineup until 2008, but General Motors Corp.'s luxury division could confirm within the next six months plans to build an entry-luxury model in Europe, Ward's is told.
"The big thing we need to do next is an ultra-luxury product," says Mark LaNeve, Cadillac general manager. "Or for lack of a better term, a $70,000 to $150,000 sedan. Something that really puts a stake in the ground for what you're capable of from a design and performance standpoint. That's what we're ambitiously lobbying for within the company."
While it is unclear what platform the supercar would use, LaNeve envisions it equipped with a V-12. "You would hope, but we don't have a car yet," he says. "So I can't speculate."
Although a U.S. Cadillac supercar is a ways off, sharing a platform with Saab Automobile and building a Cadillac entry-luxury vehicle in Europe is a possibility, but not guaranteed.
