General Motors unveiled the Buick Wildcat EV Concept last year, showing off a futuristic design study intended as inspiration for Buick’s future production models. With a striking design inside and out, the Buick Wildcat EV Concept is dressed the impress. Now, we’re getting another look at the Buick Wildcat EV Concept, this time out in the real world thanks to the following GM Authority photo gallery.
Captured at the Amelia Island Concours held earlier this year in Florida, the Buick Wildcat EV Concept presents a future-leaning look at Buick’s forthcoming models, including both it’s all-electric vehicles, as well as some of its ICE-powered models. Clearly, the concept was captivating enough to draw something of a crowd.
The design incorporates thin, sharply angled headlight housings that draw back from the hoodline into the fenders and down into the front wheel arches. Although this concept was intended as an electric vehicle, the front end maintains what appears to be a front air intake with a large grille design made up of horizontally oriented slats. The grille is bracketed by large fin-like protrusions around the edges of the front bumper, while the new Buick logo is shown front and center.
The Buick Wildcat EV Concept was the first vehicle to show off the new Buick Tri Shield badge, which includes red, white, and blue coloring against silver shields set in an even horizontal line. The new Buick Tri Shield badge is now in use in the brand’s latest production vehicles.
The profile of the Buick Wildcat EV Concept shows an almost hatch-like roof line, which sweeps downwards at a gentle slop into a squared-off rear end. Large, fan-like wheels sit in the corners, showing off a polished finish.
The interior was also shown off, with a wide, horizontally oriented infotainment screen, flat-bottom steering wheel, and crisp white upholstery.

How a questionable design, in terms of looks, of a concept ends up destroying the front end looks of an entire lineup.
What a relief from the current world of SUV boxes that differ only in taillight design. Actually, I like its boldness. Of course, they’ll water it down in production until only the tri-shield remains (already happened.)
Can I get the new Buick Wildcat with a LS3 or new LTs?
The car is fantastic, the electric drive train is turn off.
I bet you want to personally hand crank the engine and the windows, too.
I really like the rear and side views but not sure about the front end. It’s an EV so it’s a hard no.
I love it, but of course the production version will end up a boring, conservative compromise. Be bold, be daring with the Wildcat. You have a beautiful machine here!
It’ll never see the light of day in the US, but Mary will make sure China gets it. All we will get are the fugly SUV, SUV and minivan things.
Another beauty we’ll never see in the showroom or on the road.
It’s another design that tries to blend classic elements into modern design that just doesn’t work. So now EVERY Buick has to try and look like it at the front and ends up with a fleet of look-alike models.
The Avenir concept was much better-looking but we ended up with a $20K coupe crossover in $31K Avenir trim. Laughable.
The only Buick id ever buy going forward why don’t they make cheaper verison of this ? Smaller etc . The look will turn heads
Spawned a bunch of Baleen whale Buicks… gm chose the wrong design theme. Leaves me to question design tastes of Simcoe.
Why do they waste their time on things like this that they no intention of ever making? All they will make are crappy little SUVs.
I think with EV drivetrains GM will be more willing to make more one-offs like this because they don’t have to worry about the whole drivetrain. It’s really just a body and interior exercise.
Beautiful now put a REAL motor into say a LT4 with a 6 speed, come on GM do something everyone really wants,not crappy cars or suvs.
stepdad had’ 62 Wildcat 455, what a Bear! After that ‘ 65 Riv 455, another Bear, smoke them rear tires!! Real TQ Monsters !
BUICK HAS BEEN BUILDING SOME BEAUTIFUL CONCEPTS. I WISH CADILLAC WOULD COME UP WITH SOMETHING LIKE THESE, BUT RUMOR HAS IT THAT THE NEW CADILLAC’S ARE SMALLER THAN THE PRESENT. IF A LUXURY CAR IS NOT LONG, LOW AND WIDE, I WILL KEEP DRIVING MY OLDER CADILLAC’S.
Nobody wants EVs!!!!! Put a ICE in it and lets talk
Another boring battery car , make it a ice or how about a hydrogen car . Keep the kids out of the mines
