General Motors’ quest to position Cadillac as a global luxury brand can’t stop with offering competitive product, it would seem. To truly enter the echelon of top-tier premium vehicles, Cadillac must—like Mercedes-Benz and BMW, among others—release its own “spy” photos of a camouflaged pre-production model. In this case, the future Cadillac ELR is shown wrapped in what resemble recycled parachute pants, looking quite similar to the car we photographed in October and resolutely less elegant than it did in an official preview photo released a few days ago. The car is scheduled to debut in Motown next week.
- Comparison Test: 2012 Chevrolet Volt vs. 2012 Fisker Karma EcoSport
- Instrumented Test: 2013 Tesla Model S
- Comparison Test: 2012 BMW 328i vs. 2013 Cadillac ATS
Even without the disguise, the ELR’s plug-in-hybrid powertrain would remain something of a mystery; we do know that it will deliver more power and have a longer EV-only range than its mechanical bro, the Chevy Volt. For a full preview of the plug-in-hybrid ELR, you can read our scoop story here. Check back next week for photos of the Cadillac ELR live from the floor of the 2013 Detroit auto show, as well as full details from GM. They won’t even be covered in camo.
