Cadillac Unveils The 2010 XTS Platinum Concept

New XTS Platinum Concepts unveils at Detroit International Auto Show. It seems like whatever Cadillac comes up with, they all look almost identical. Anyhow, the 2010 Cadillac XTS Platinum Concept will be the new top of the line luxury sedan for Cadillac. It emphasizes new environmental friendly, luxury and technological advance for this sedan. Designed from the inside out to interface between the driver and the auto electronic.

The XTS Platinum Concept uses Cadillac’s 3.6L V-6 Direct Injection gas engine with a plug-in electric hybrid system for fuel efficiency. The plug-in technology enables the battery to fully charge from a standard electrical outlet. The battery can fully recharge in about five hours while the car is not in use at any standard plug-in outlet.

Power output for the XTS Platinum is a combination of engine power and electric power or engine power only. The combination of the Direct Injection V-6 engine and the PHEV system featuring fully electric variable drive provides an estimated 350 horsepower (260 kW) and 295 lb.-ft. of torque combined.

One other advanced feature of the suspension system in the XTS Platinum Concept is the Magnetic Ride Control. It enables the XTS Platinum Concept to adjust to driving conditions in spirited driving or luxury car mode. It uses shocks controlled by advanced magneto-rheological technology to accelerate response time and precision.

It has been rumored that the XTS will replace the DTS but by no means should GM make the mistake of killing off the DTS nameplate as it is the only thing left of Cadillac’s longest production marque the DeVille and one of the few remaining ties to their heritage.The DeVille (DTS) should be updated to true Art + Science stature (no longer a car for pensioners) and turned into an apt competitor for the A8, 7 Series, S Class and Lexus LS. The DeVille name is American legend and deserves to live on!

@nordenfan You are right on the money!
When XTS does get built do expect: AWD with a heavily refined and stretched version of GM’s Epsilon II platform shared with Buick Lacrosse and Saab 9-5. Dushanne is babbling when he states a production XTS would be narrower than the concept. GM wouldn’t spend extra money to make XTS narrower when the body already fits the Epsilon II platform. Malibu is based on a regular Epsilon platform previously shared with Saturn Aura and Pontiac G-6.
