Could Cadillac Pull Off A Rival To The $190K Mercedes-Maybach S600?: Community ... - GM Authority (blog)
Mercedes recently released details and pricing on their S600 Maybach , the ultimate version of their already ultra-luxurious S-Class sedan, and it got us thinking, could Cadillac make a realistic alternative to the $190,000 luxury flagship. We know Cadillac president Johan de Nysschen has envisioned such a car for the Cadillac brand. He told Automotive News late last year the brand could sell ultra-luxury cars that retail for $250,000 , but added such a thing wouldn’t be possible until the year 2029. As the long-time auto exec explained when discussing a high-performance halo... When a six-figure Cadillac flagship does come around, it will have to have features similar to the Maybach S600. These include an extremely long wheelbase (the Maybach’s is eight-inches longer than the standard full-size S-Class), a two-seat rear... It would also need a powertrain which justifies a $250,000 price tag, like the Maybach’s 523 horsepower, 612 lb-ft 6. 0 liter twin-turbo V12. Do you think Cadillac could pull it off.
