DETROIT – Cadillac introduced the SOLLEI concept, the ultimate design expression of a coach-built luxury electric convertible, at the Cadillac House at Vanderbilt.
This imaginative design exercise pushes the boundaries of future bespoke commissions, tailored to reflect the unique passions and interests of its clientele.
Celebrating Cadillac’s heritage of bold colors, the exterior is finished in “Manila Cream,” a revived color formulation originally used on Cadillacs in 1957 and 1958.
Sollei blends the Latin words for sun, sol, with lei for leisure, to create an airy name for the two-plus-two droptop. The concept car is long with a wide stance, prominent grille and huge wheels. Naturally, it’s a Cadillac, so there’s distinctive lighting elements front and rear, and the back is rounded off in boattail style.
The Sollei is basically a convertible version of the Celestiq, a $340,000 limited-run sedan built on General Motors’ historic Tech Center Campus north of Detroit. They have the same length, wheelbase and electric propulsion system.
The big question: Will Cadillac build the Sollei? And how much will it cost?
