Cadillac Sollei concept
10.08.2024A New Dawn of Design
Imagine a canvas where the sun ('SOL') and leisure ('LEI') paint a picture of the ultimate open-air lifestyle. The SOLLEI is Cadillac's dream realized—a 2+2 convertible that's as much about the journey as the destination. It's a vehicle that connects you with the world around you, through every meticulously crafted detail.
Step inside, and you're greeted by a 55-inch pillar-to-pillar screen, an interface that feels like a portal to the future. This isn't just tech for tech's sake; it's a seamless integration that enhances the drive. The front and rear command consoles are so intuitive, they almost anticipate your needs before you do.
Cadillac hasn't just pushed the envelope—they've shredded it. The SOLLEI is the brand's first concept to feature Fine Mycelium™ by MycoWorks. Yes, you heard that right. This bio-based material, grown from the roots of mushrooms, adorns charging mats and door map pockets, setting a new standard for sustainable luxury.
The SOLLEI's silhouette is pure emotion, a low, elongated body with bold proportions that scream Cadillac. The Manila Cream finish, a nostalgic nod to the late '50s, is nothing short of breathtaking. Hand-painted by Cadillac craftsmen, it's a color that's as timeless as the car itself.
Inside, it's all about the art of travel. Think illuminated décor, unstained wood veneers, and open-pore finishes that invite you to touch and feel. Every detail, from the marquetry techniques to the hand-laid pieces, is a testament to Cadillac's dedication to turning the ordinary into the extraordinary.
Personalization is the name of the game, with ambient lighting offering 126 color options in multiple zones. It's not just about seeing the road; it's about setting the mood, transforming the interior into your own sanctuary.
For the Connoisseurs
Bird-watching, anyone? The SOLLEI caters to niche passions with a bespoke accessory case that includes 3D printed bird calls and a leather-bound journal. It's a touch that elevates the driving experience to a whole new level of personal engagement.
Sun-Kissed Details
The SOLLEI is a celebration of light and optimism, from sunburst-themed lighting to iridescent leather that mimics a sunrise. The materials and finishes are all designed to play with light, creating an ever-changing tapestry of colors and textures.
The Daybreak convertible roof is more than just a top—it's a revelation. As it retracts, sunlight floods the interior, highlighting the boucle fabric floormats and the pink iridescent accents. It's an interplay of light and luxury that makes every drive feel like a special occasion.
Heritage Meets Innovation
Unveiled at the Cadillac House at Vanderbilt, this concept is a nod to the past while firmly looking towards the future. It's Cadillac's vision of bespoke luxury, where every detail is a brushstroke in a masterpiece of design.
