The Cadillac Sixteen...essentially aimed squarely at Rolls Royce and Bentley. MMMM...two V8's make Sixteen. That car is absolutley nuts, but show how Lutz (chairman of GM right?) has a lot of vision.

I wonder what the gas mileage is on one of those puppies. 10...maybe 15 feet per gallon?

I can't remeber the price of the prototype, but it's downright rediculous. It's a luxury Enzo with so much more.

Just don't try to get it around a corner. On the topic of Ultra-Luxury Cars, has anyone seen the new RR Phantom? Downright crazy. Uses a stroked BMW V12. An incredible interior with some neat featuers (built in umbrellas in the doors) but that exterior is questionable. The front fascia is a tad off with the round headlights beneath the turn signals.

Wow, that's a really nice pic of the Phantom. Gorgeous color. Looks much better like that than it did on Motorweek. I look at it now and maybe the front fascia isn't that bad but something still is off about it. Neat tidbit is that the Spirit of Ecstacy ornmament can be retracted to avoid theft.
