The Cadillac Eldorado nameplate holds a special place in the hearts of many GM enthusiasts, often associated with the ultimate in American-bred style and luxury. While General Motors discontinued the Eldorado in 2002 for its 50th model year, the name still has a fair amount of cachet. Now, one automotive artist is reimagining the Cadillac Eldorado as a modern-day shooting brake inspired by the all-electric Cadillac Celestiq.
Recently posted to social media by Cole Attisha, the Celestiq-inspired details are more than obvious – the long roof, the low stance, and the wide dimensions are all present and accounted for. However, on top of all that, we find a more chiseled, aggressive, ICE-powered attitude. The front end, for example, incorporates a more traditional air intake, rather than the blocked-off, smoothed-out fascia seen on the Celestiq. The more-muscular front end also includes a prominent lower splitter element, while the (multi-colored) Cadillac crest is seen front and center.
Moving back, we see a set of large, multi-spoke wheels rolling in the corners, under which are mounted mammoth high-performance brakes. The side view shows off a fender vent topped by another Cadillac crest, while the rockers continue to performance theme with what appears to be carbon fiber. Also notable are the ultra-thin sideview mirrors, while the door handles are flush with body.
The renderings also show off the interior design, which incorporates a pair of digital readouts that are oriented towards the driver. Interestingly, the artist chose not to utilize the pillar-to-pillar digital readout seen in the Cadillac Celestiq and Cadillac Escalade IQ. The upholstery in the rendering is in “duo-tone” Nappa leather with Brandy inserts and Sage Green, while carbon trim and bronze accents finish it off.
Despite the IQ-inspired design underpinnings, this rendering is imagined with the supercharged 6.2L V8 LT4 gasoline engine under the hood, the same powerplant that motivates the Cadillac Escalade-V.

Atrocious. To do that to such a storied name…
AGREED!!!
As the saying goes, don’t give up your day job lol. That’s awful.
The rear quarter window brings forward the traditional Eldorado style, but the rest seems too generic Cadillac IQ style. The shooting break roofline doesn’t work for me, either.
IMHO….Restore a ’67 to concours condition, save loads of money and know you’re driving the real thing.
The outside could be fixed, maybe. But the inside is a total disaster: More black carpet? Really?
I want a 2 door (coupe) Cadillac !!! Don’t want black, White or red
Absolutely beautiful in shape. Front grill is way to busy with too much chrome and weird angles.
Dig it!! Black would be the color choice for me and other wild custom things.
I have an Audi RS6 wagon and I happen to love the look of this rendering.
Just another SUV, Xover, or whatever. How about a real coupe?
Next! It’s all plastic and electric boxes. Kenny Nash CEO A BIG EVENT ENTERTAINMENT “DESIRE” is my song to describe the real cars my generation had! Kenny Nash
I would definitely be interested in one! Now I think you said ones electric and one is gas right? If so I would be interested in the gas vehicle!
No just NO!!!
Looks too much like the Celestiq, I wonder what the Extra Cost Option would be for that interesting color choice.
I am old-fashion, would like to see a ELDO Late 60’s style!!! Gas engine.
Love that color. Cadillac should built 4 door car like the 58 Brougham that was the best luxury car in the world by far better that RR like the Solein but hard top
yeah AI generated … like only the colour AI result made, but wheels suspension seems distorted, front is better result what GM produces
asked Cole in AI Facebook group to do a “ROLLS ROYCE GOLD FINGER ALHAMBRA” attempt but he ignored
