The Cadillac Ciel is a hybrid electric concept car created by Cadillac and unveiled at the 2011 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. The Cadillac Ciel has a 3.6-liter V6 producing 425 horsepower and a hybrid system using lithium-ion battery technology.[1][2] The Ciel is a four-seat convertible with a wheelbase of 125 inches. The concept car was developed at GM Design's North Hollywood Design Center.[3]

The Ciel concept is slightly different from concept cars that Cadillac has shown us in the last few years. It is a 4 seat convertible with suicide doors. The word "Ciel" is french for sky which is what the designers had in mind when they made the vehicle. The Ciel is much larger than any concept vehicle they have made in the last 10 years. It is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.6 liter direct injection V6 engine. This is paired with a hybrid lithium-ion battery system.[citation needed]

The luxurious interior features a smooth wooden dashboard with a simple gauge look. The Ciel concept car specs says it will put out 425 horsepower.[citation needed]
