For the record, the Cadillac CT6 is dead in North America. After just four years, Cadillac took an ax to the full-size luxury sedan and the Blackwing V8 engine that powered the high-performance version. With the benefit of hindsight, it seems rather clear that Cadillac made an abrupt shift towards an electric future. So why are we seeing a camouflaged, next-generation CT6 prototype with exhaust tips testing in Michigan?
This is the first time we've seen the big Caddy, but we're familiar enough with GM's Milford Proving Grounds to recognize the streets on which this car is driving. Located northwest of Detroit, it's fertile ground for catching prototypes in public, and our spy team was in the right place at the right time. The overall size and shape look pretty close to the old CT6, but we suspect there are some key design changes to the front and rear fascias. One thing we clearly see is a tweaked C-pillar with an up-kink to the glass. Zooming in on the rear fascia we also spot placeholder lights. This sedan definitely isn't ready for prime time just yet.
