If you are a fan of the Cadillac, 2015 may be a banner year for the esteemed maker of luxury automobiles.
That is when many elements of the 2013 Cadillac Elmiraj Concept car are expected to be implemented in the next generation XTS and 2015 Escalade.
Until then we can only dream about this new vehicle hitting an assembly line in its totality. Even the prestigious “Caddy” emblem has been redesigned.

Engine & Performance
The Elmiraj Concept is powered by a twin-turbo, 4.5 liter, V8. It is capable of 500 horsepower and 500 lb ft of torque. Most likely, it will be paired with an 8 speed automatic transmission, this car is expected to go from 0-60 mph in 4.8 seconds with a top speed of 168 mph.
Exterior
The Elmiraj is a two door, luxury sports coupe. Its overall length is at 205 inches. Those 17 feet appear to flow seamlessly from front to back with a low profile (55 inch height) more akin to a luxurious low rider if such a car existed.
The new Cadillac emblem rests on the center of the black mesh grille surrounded by chrome shaped in an almost clown like grin. The slim vertical LED headlights give it a very futuristic flair.
The aluminum wheels are at 22 X 9 inches. The rear flows as nicely as the cars lines, with the trunk lid and bumpers connecting to the flowing rear glass and rising lower belt line. The taillights match the headlights with their thin vertical orientation and are separated with a chrome accent strip. Rear exhaust outlets appear on each corner.
Interior
When entering the 2013 Cadillac Elmiraj Concept you will notice the two doors are pillar-less and the windows frameless. Once inside, you will be sitting low to the ground on beautifully appointed saddle leather seats.
The dash and center console areas seem to tilt towards the front, once again reintegrating that flow effect even while inside the vehicle. Look up to see the wood panel headliner.
