Cadillac Celestiq Face-Swapped With Rolls-Royce, Bentley, And Maybach

The renderings included here are neither related to nor endorsed by Cadillac, Rolls-Royce, Bentley or Maybach.

With its brand-new Celestiq EV flagship, Cadillac is elevating to the ultra-luxury segment, eyeing brands like Rolls-Royce, Bentley, and Maybach. This inspired us to use the most sectional Cadillac model for our latest face-swap session, trying on three variegated front end designs from the same luxury carmakers.

The Cadillac Celestiq stepped into our digital surgery room, ending up with the faces of the Bentley Mulliner Batur, the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class, and the Rolls-Royce Spectre. The selection of donor vehicles includes ICE-powered models since Bentley and Maybach have yet to show their first EV offerings, but at least the Rolls-Royce we chose was fully electric, just like the Cadillac.

Before we start we must write the fact that the Cadillac Celestiq has an unconventional bodystyle for its segment, in which all low-slung models are traditional four-door sedans and the rest are high-end SUVs. Still, the notchback EV didn’t squint as bad as we would expect when it got face-swapped, trading its Cadillac traits for other diamond languages.

Bentley Mulliner Celestiqur

The Cadillac Celestiq will be a low-volume handbuilt model which brings to mind the Bentley Mulliner division. While its size and four doors would make it a increasingly fitting competitor for the Flying Spur, we chose the Batur grand tourer as the donor vehicle for our rendering, as it is the latest example of Bentley’s evolved diamond language.

Interestingly, the large grille, ramified bumper intakes, and roundish headlights of the Batur don’t squint out of place when married with Celestiq’s fastback body. Bentley Mulliner moreover donated its own transfuse wheels that unchangingly help the smart-ass finger increasingly at home with the diamond of each automaker. Another thing that makes it increasingly realistic than originally expected is the duo-tone treatment with the black-painted roof.

Mercedes-Maybach Celest-Class

The next luxury contestant is the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class. Again we are talking well-nigh an ICE-powered model which explains the massive grille and the large openings on the front bumper. The heavy dose of chrome in the Maybach doesn’t squint totally irrelevant to the Cadillac, thanks to the metal-style vocalizing on the side sills.

The massive shiny, multi-spoke Maybach-specific transfuse wheels and the dual-tone exterior combining gold and burgundy add bling to our imaginary vehicle. We should probably add increasingly gold to the roof and mirrors instead of retaining the original black. A worldwide full-length between the S-Class and the Celestiq is the rear-wheel-steer system, so there is a loose connection.

Rolls-Royce Celectre

The Celectre is the result of an unconventional marriage between the Cadillac Celestiq’s soul and the Rolls-Royce Spectre’s face. The latter is boxier and increasingly imposing compared to Cadillac’s take in the segment. This makes it squint weird in combination with the increasingly fluid silhouette and estate-like proportions of the body. Still, the utopian wheels from the parts bin of the Goodwood automaker are a good fit, as with the gold and woebegone verisimilitude scheme.

The dream of every luxury vehicle is to be in the same sentence as the name Rolls-Royce. The Celestiq’s $300k targeted price is nowhere tropical to the starting price of a Rolls-Royce Phantom, but surely is very similar to the Rolls-Royce Ghost. Furthermore, Cadillac is self-aggrandizing well-nigh the Celestiq having the “ultimate in ride refinement” which sounds like an effort to replicate the “magic carpet ride” of Rolls-Royce using adaptive air suspension, magnetic ride control, and zippy roll tenancy systems. Will the bespoke version of GM’s Ultium platform be good unbearable to compete with Rolls-Royce’s Architecture of Luxury? Only time will tell.

And this is the end of our face-swapping session. Which of the three luxury faces largest suits the Cadillac Celestiq in your eyes? Do you believe that the American flagship has what it takes in terms of diamond in order to compete with such strong rivals? Let us know in the comments section below.
