Indeed, General Motors has taken some cost-cutting measures over the past few months – they dropped the sixth generation Chevy Camaro out of production because it was cheap and didn't sell well and instead left the C8 Chevy Corvette to take the spotlight and rise to its best sales since 2015 during the first six months of the year.
Also, they stopped manufacturing the Chevy Malibu mid-size sedan because it was too cheap and didn't rack in massive profits.
Over at Cadillac, the CT4 is inconsistent with the CT5 series, which has already been upgraded for the 2025 model year with help from an encompassing refresh.
Even better, the CT5-V and Blackwing models have survived, too, and they add to the feeling that only high-end models will get the pink slip from now on.
If that's true, Cadillac surely needs a new sports car flagship to sit alongside the $130k Caddy Escalade IQ sport utility vehicle and the $340k Celestiq all-electric flagship.
Something with a plug-in hybrid powertrain rocking a price tag in between would hit the sweet spot, don't you think?
Maybe that's precisely the line of thought across the parallel universes of vehicular CGI when it comes to the imaginative guild of digital car content creators.
More precisely, Czech Republic-based virtual artist Rostislav Prokop, known as rostislav_prokop on social media, continues his thunderous dream ride periplus with a Caddy that's unlike any other seen until now – a "breathtaking mid-engine supercar that showcases aggressive design and innovative technology."
You know what? It's not even illogical – and there are two main reasons for that.
First and foremost, let's remember how GM has recently become a registered Formula 1 power unit manufacturer – the new Andretti Cadillac F1 entry will be powered by GM starting in 2028 after, in late 2023, FIA approved Andretti Cadillac to race in the FIA Formula One World Championship.
Naturally, Cadillac's V-Series performance portfolio, now celebrating its 20th anniversary, would be wise to take advantage of this association.
Secondly, if Team Corvette had gotten away with a 1,064-horsepower C8 Chevy Corvette ZR1, Cadillac could have definitely developed its own mid-engine supercar based on the C8 backbones.
To top it all off, they could easily use the ZR1 know-how and wrap it around a fancier plug-in hybrid setup that could challenge the likes of Lamborghini's Revuelto, right?
It could also look like this supercar, which has edgy Cadillac design traits, classic mid-engine supercar proportions, and a full battery of stacked exhaust tips (four on each side) plus Vossen aftermarket wheels.
