It's unforgivable that this car never found its way into production!
becuase GM dont want to give a black man credit for designing the greatest car of the new age.
@@Consrvative oh don’t you dare start 🤦♀️
@@DiaperSNiFFER he already did so let him be man
100 percent agreed!
@@Consrvative People that think like you are insufferable.
Looking at this in 2019.. still absolutely gorgeous and contemporary looking. The designers outdid themselves, shame on Cadillac for not putting this into production.
4-5 years later and the car is still as beautiful as it was when I first saw it.
now its 2021 and if you wouldn't tell me I would say its from 2016
@@DemeDemetre Still looks new.
@@vika0194 well.. no.. to a normal person, yes but to me I can spot the dated design
7 years later it still is
@@DemeDemetre No. It still looks new.
Designer is a cool dude. I think dark blue was the perfect color for that car.
He's done some really good stuff with the Corvettes as well.
glad you wrote that !! yes he is the c7 man !!!
yes the blue is very elegant, however its a coupe so imagine it in red, or white.
He's a chill dude
This car is unbelievably beautiful.....
Cadillac.. WHY ARE YOU NOT BUILDING THIS
iTz G Banger - 'cause the only people who want it, can't afford it.
@@driverjamescopeland could not more expensive than a CTS-V or CTS-Sport. I think the problem is Chevrolet with the Corvette that it would cut into its sale numbers. I wish they would have given all the spec on the engine and drivetrain, that possibly out perform the Corvette. Just guessing of coarse.,
Frank W - nothing that big and heavy could outperform the Corvette... even with a supercharged version of their prototype V16.
Frank W - also, it could DEFINITELY be more expensive than any CTS class. This would be a coachbuilt class of vehicle... probably well north of $200,000 Bentley territory.
@@driverjamescopeland corvette is slightly heavier. CTS-Sport could probably do it. Even CT-6 Sport. These vehicle come with summer only tires and being rear wheel drive. Clearly a performance vehicle.
why the hell didn't they build this car.... most beautiful Cadillac design till date
Exactly
i agree although the ct6 is close
cadillac sixteen
Emeka Iheanacho Cadillac Escala took the title
because the people on the cadillac product team are fucking retarded
If that car would go into production I bet it would sell like crazy. It's beautiful.
Eidrian111 it is! It's called the escala now though
Sexiest looking Cadillac in years. Would make an impressive modern interpretation of an Eldorado.
+Tony Patt you don't like the ats or cts looks?
***** They're good looking vehicles, although not as stunning as this. A full-size two door hardtop that harkens back to the Cadillac's golden age? Count me in!
+Tony Patt This happens when you study design while drunk
+Scim Prodouction inc. are you fucking SERIOUS?
tara myricks you saw clearly this car? or you are blind? explain briefly why this car is't bad, if you can.
2021 and it still looks incredible! This could have really been something for Cadillac with a v8 this would have been a legend
It's a shame they never produced this. What a gorgeous car!
That is a sensational piece of design - just fabulous - the design team should be very proud of themselves . . .
SADLY IT'LL NEVER BE MADE.
that designer sounds really relaxed
He's Ben Carson s cousin .
hes normally like this lol. ive ran into him a few times since 2007
detroitone, next you run into him. Introduce him to a tailor.
Darrell Tuttle he likes his suit relaxed.
@Mac Turner 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 hating on who or what. If you're going to wear a suit. Wear it correctly. Spend a few extra pennies to have it tailored. I know I do. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 you crack me up with your stupidity.
This guy is an amazing designer. I love his work.
Even if it ends up costing a hundred something fucking grand this car needs to go into production, it is absolutely beautiful.
Never understood why Cadillac doesn't go for the Rolls Royce level market.
@@TCsHouse they used to be better than Rolls Royce back in the 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s. Then GM started to cost cut everything and we ended up with cars like the Cimmaron and SRX.
@@TSL73 That's right! Cadillac was the step up from rolls royce for YEARS!
True, there was a video I just watched on the 1930 Cadillac V16 and that engine was smooth even by modern standards. From what I understand Cadillac was considered a cut above Rolls Royce at that time. Going forward many years I also consider the 1967 Eldorado one of the classiest and most beautiful cars ever made. Unfortunately they lost their way in the 70’s and 80’s, although to be honest my mom had a 1987 Sedan De Ville growing up and that was a great car. We had it for over 10 years and put over 200,000 miles on it. It just looked to similar to other GM’s like Oldsmobiles and Buicks
Mr. Welburn is a hero in many ways. His design language, as well as his historical presence at GM has helped save the company. This design in particular should have been given a short run similar to the CTS coupe and wagon. the ElMiraj is the Eldorado we need from this generation, and the halo car Cadillac has been promising since the days of the Sixteen - now almost 2 decades ago. Somebody's got to spend the money, make the investment and the buyers will come.
if cadillac makes more cars like this they will rise to the top like they did back in the 60's and 70's
6/20: Sorry. We both got screwed on this one. Cadillac is only building overpriced Chevys now. Not even passenger cars.
Don't change anything!
This is the first american design I have liked in a long long time.
It looks like something Alfred would pick up Bruce Wayne in.
I agree! I was thinking the same thing this is the first American car i actually like in a long time! I hope Cadillac sells this!
but Jay Leno said, "very european" to him at least ):
i luv it
TheSwampHumanoid The CTS since 2003 has been sexy. Gen 2 and 3 are a little meh. But Gen 4 has it again. The ATS is sexy too.
theres only been three generations of CTS's ????
This El Mirage is one of the most beautiful cars I’ve seen, in a long long time.
I want one.
Looks better than any other car on the market, great job, I love it
dont often say this about a caddy - but this is gorgeous.
Someone has really been lighting a fire under their asses lately; they're actually putting out cars to rival their competitors. Lincoln, on the other hand, is still in a coma.
opmike343
i dont know, some of those new lincoln's look pretty nice. not sure about performance but style is getting up there.
opmike343 yeah, the government.
Ducati NYC Vlog I agree!
Ducati NYC Vlog i saw this car at new york car show.this is one of the most beautiful car I've ever seen bar none.
To: Cadillac Division, General Motors
From: Every Car Guy in the World
Re: Elmiraj Concept
To whom it may concern:
PLEASE PUT THIS CAR INTO PRODUCTION AS THE EL DORADO!
Sincerely,
Car Guys of the World
This car IS WORTHY OF THE EL DORADO NAME!!!
Please sir please build this call
Please sir please
Ed Welburn is one of the finest humans I know. Total Class
This may be the prettiest car I have ever seen. Also, the gentleman that Leno is speaking with is one of the smoothest communicators I have ever come across. I'm 51, but when I grow up, I want to be able to interact with people like that guy. Soooooo smooooooooooth.
Can someone explain why they don't sell these?
costs more than selling point. They would lose money
If i'm not mistaken, I believe they will hit showrooms in 2016 or 2017 :-) Hopefully my money will be right by then, because I want one. Maybe if I bribe him, I can convince ***** to donate one to me lol only time will tell!
***** I really hope they do. This is what Cadillac really needs to start making, something distinctly American but with performance to beat the Europeans.
Cause there fugly
Just Here For The UA-cam Nothing that is "distinctly American" can ever beat a European.
I wish they build this car I'd buy it in a heartbeat
I want this car
***** yeah I know right gorgeous car can you just see yourself driving down the road in that luxury and it has power!
***** it most certainly would be
***** Definitely watered down but the ct6 will certainly look exactly like this, but the interior will be very different. Its supposed to compete with the S-class so yes it will be expensive and badass.
Me too.
Please make it. I promise to buy one.
ICAdillac is already done, buy it.
LOrd of bEES are they going to sell it?
I have just fallen in love with Cadillac, again. Beautiful, just gorgeous!
that designer is killing it
the stingray
the cts-v
the ciel
Even more than that the Camaro, CTSes, Escalades, etc. he will be remembered for his time at GM.
That thing looks ripe for some suicide doors
Exactly what I was thinking! If they make a 4 door it would look amazing.
+zalien6 yes..4door more beautiful
It was Lincoln that had suicide doors.
Glen Daly Cadillacs had them too, the Eldorado for example.... plenty of other manufacturers used them as well, some even on coupes.
Michael Cianci It's funny I was thinking about that when I read your comment.
Almost 10 years later this thing is gorgeous inside and out. I drive a 2018 BMW right now but if Cadillacs looked more like this I would consider switching.
This is the coolest Caddy I've ever seen. DON'T MESS WITH IT and BUILD IT.
Why don't they just build THAT?
People would throw money at them faster than they could put it away.
got the style of Jaguar
quality of BMW
design looks like from Italy
and made in America?
wow good work Cadillac
And its a concept ;)
Phillip Betts
live and germany and drove bmw
i know why i post that comment
AL-KEN quality of BMW???? Oh God please no!!!!!
Shut up its american
AL-KEN name is Arabic
Amazing how Cadillac has the ability to build a car as long as an aircraft carrier like they always have, but they've figured out in recent years how to make it look sporty.
Imagine an electric powered version gliding silently through town.
Yes ,,,,,,, that's the only thing missing on this .
@@johnmarshall4442 The only thing missing is selling you guys all the ELRs you could possibly want.
That way we can focus on building more ICEs that everyone else wants.
I don't want to imagine that😨
eww. please don't ruin this
I'D TAKE THIS OVER A MERCEDES ANY DAY
+Daniel Adamson Especially with what modern Mercedes look like, talk about ruining the brand, yikes.
+Daniel Adamson i would take any cadillac over any german car any day lol
Daniel Adamson a lot of Germans would take this Cadillac over a Mercedes Benz also! It is beautiful and a Cadillac!
Daniel Adamson seen this at n.y.car show.oh my this is one beautiful car.and i would take this over anything.this car is a work of art.
Let’s not get carried away now
Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful modern vehicle designs, right behind the cadillac sixteen of course. the only flaw with the sixteen was the wheels, wasn't a big fan. gotta love that 1000 hp n/a engine though. they're both art masterpieces.
+Sam Ace Rothstein yes, this seems to be the evolution of the sixteen
as much as i loved it when it was new, cadillac has progressed from that point, so i prefer this one now
and wow, this interior :O
+AnarchistMetalhead as much as i love the contemporary styling of this interior, the traditional and simple yet ultra elegant interior found in the sixteen is actually perfect for my taste, it's timeless. they both have some of the best interiors i have ever seen, right on par with their respective years.
Truly a masterpiece!! And that interior, just wow.
Jay Leno: concepts these days are pretty achievable
Mercedes: hold my beer
The problem with Cadillac is they have these amazing looking concepts, but comparatively boring looking production cars.
True if they put this out as just like this,they would be a fierce competitor
Agreed
...enter the XTS Sedan with its bloated and top-heavy looking styling...
The CTS-V is and has looked sexy for a long time, especially the wagon. the new escalade looks nice as well.
I for one like the new 2014-15 models. Especially the way they have the LED lights one the front.
IF cadillac made this car it would be the best selling sedan for that year....TRUST ME
@timothy chung and what is Toyota doing with Lexus then. Starting price $80,000.
A sedan has four doors. This is a coupe.
Whoa you didn't have to tell calm down Mr angry mc bum face
Wow, this car has such a villainous look. I can almost see it twirling it's mustache, lol. I love it. So much personality.
Lol. Yes!
Ive always been partial to Cadillac's designs, no other car seems to have the same presence and elegance. This car though, the most beautiful I have ever seen of any car in its class, absolutely stunning. Just breathtakingly radiant.
Looking at this one, it looks a bit based on the Sixteen, which is good. The Elmiraj looks beautiful!
That's exactly what it is, a revamped Cadillac 16
Yes, so much yes. Imagine if Cadillac would have pulled the trigger on both, in addition to that four door convertible!
They would have had arguably the most gorgeous coupe and sedan on the market. In addition to the only production four door convertible in the world. If they could have just put it into limited production it would have legitimately changed the world's view and opinion on the entire brand. For that matter, it could have potentially changed the world's opinion on GM and the American automotive industry as a whole!
If only.
Ali Haidar wish it has a V16 like the 16 had
THIS IS A MUCH BETTER BALANCED DESIGN THAN THE SIXTEEN.
919 752 6505
another one of the best looking Cadillacs I've seen in a long time. Great job guys!
Absolutely love this car!.....great concept!
WOW jay out of denim I honestly think this is the first for me lol, he cleans up good though
have you ever seen an episode of the Jay Leno show?
Nick Mastrangelo yea he wears a denim suit lol
Just imagine if he showered...........
Welcome back Cadillac
my god, the interior is to kill for
i love the wood and brown colors....my god, now this is something that coud make you drool in youre dreams :o
That was awesome! Great video. Thanks to Ed and Jay!
It looks pretty much perfect.
jarmo tverin i don't like the side-rear it looks too modern and unproportional to the rest of the car I think
Kevin Campos I like everything in it
When Jay said it looks European, guy had a small heart attack or a light gag reflex judging from his look. :D
Nahhh :D I think saying a car looks or seems 'European' is synonymous with saying its style and all represents luxury.
@eL nUbKer Fair enough. Right now, I'm more impressed by receiving a reply to to a 4-year-old comment.
@eL nUbKer Glad I could surprise you.
I know I did when he said it. It looked American as apple pie to me.
The most beautiful car EVER.
Why the crap they didn't manufactured this car instead of all the crap they're building and nobodys buying ?
And call it the Eldorado for Gods sake.
Your comment says "sorry I sounded like a bird"
Great comment !
Beautiful lines and proportions. Something to be proud of. Congratulations!
Man that is a goooooooood lookin car
If they build this the exact way it is now, it would be amazing I love this car and want it so bad, TRUE AMERICAN!! Ladies And Gentleman, the future!
Absolutly a beautiful car. I remember seeing this video nearly seven years and I still don't know why they never built the car. Sad.
Never saw anything like this come from Cadillac in recent years. So much for this concept.
wow thats such a beautiful car, just love it, I hope they manufacture it.
I can clearly say this is the best interior in the world. The whole body is so elegance that Mercedes would envy.
2019 this needs to be on the road!!!
Gorgeous luxury 💓
For the coupe: do the small rear doors, opening suicide style in conjunction with the front half. a 60/40 split awd would be nice. needs a modest hood ornament...
Bring back the V-12's and V-16's!
AS A EUROPEAN I MUST SAY : FORGET MERCES,BMW AND AUDI!!!
don't forget bentley and rolls Royce
Your not European
and get a morgan lmao
*****
Who me?
You're not European, obviously. They know how to spell "Merces" and use proper punctuation.
WOW... what a design, what a look. I lovin' it. simple, decent, elegant and and and.... em speechless
Wow! A beautiful Caddy in so many years!
Well done :)
Go ahead and release this car, make those annoying Europeans that believe they are the only ones that can make luxury cars to shut their big mouths!
***** You can't judge the cars handling by the looks of it! Besides this , if made, would not compete with the likes of the RS5 but the Mercedes S coupe and the BMW 6 series. That being said the car, like you said, isn't even in production form so I can not say whether or not it will be a good contender against the european cars. :)
So you think this could be the only car that could compete against European cars? You gotta really think that American cars suck, too
***** honestly i love european cars.... my favourite brands are italian brands. however the cadillac and american cars have really stepped their game up. not so much to top euroean but they can certainly match the handling ability and performance. however when it comes to doing that with all new technology.... wellll lets just say id take a european car over and american car. but technology doesn't mean anything in terms of driving experience. just remember the last gen vette had leaf springs and handled well
It would work on American roads. It is way to big for European roads
Andreas Andersen exactly.... has anyone else here been to italy? the roads there are tiny
What are they thinking? Just put it on the market, it will sell.
Jay and this guy get along so much better than most other guests I’ve seen
I love how the light blades front and rear almost mimic the fins of classic Cadillacs.
It's 2015 and the Emiraj is still a concept. :(
2017.
Patriotis about to be 2018
Jaafar hekmat 2018
almost 2019
2019
What a beautiful Cadillac "El Miraj" such an elegant sexy coupe. The problem is, it's still NOT out for the public yet. I wonder why??
The second time second time to see this car since 2016 and still gorgeous car all way around! .
Very nice...love it...Great show J.
LOVE LOVE IT , JUST BUILD IT NOW !!!! CLASSY,
2023 looks timeless
yes sir mr jay!!!! true classico, a work of art
This things is absolutely gorgeous... I grinned the entire video...
I know I’m late to the party but damn it’s been awhile since I’ve seen a concept car that I wanted so badly to be a production vehicle all while knowing 100% I could never afford it. Lol
Beautiful car - I actually have 2 Hotweels cars in my collection.
I love this amaging design !!
This is a gaddamn etype of the sedan world. IT IS BEAUTIFUL!
black man doing big things
R. C.P lmfao u had to take it there huh
Xplosion51 sexist? You mean racist, cuz i dont find this comment racist
He is. Very respectful, lot of class and he's helping make a wonderful machine. That's a good man right there.
It was a joke😐
Emeka Iheanacho yea he created the most beautiful Cadillac ever. The only problem is they don't have the balls to make it happen.
Ben Carson designed this ?
Solid State lmao his twin brother
The look on Ed's face when Jay mentioned the Cimarron was CLASSIC! If looks could kill...
This is a beautiful car ! Thank you Dr. Carson !
Do you know what guys?
This is a best Cadillac ever! This so traditional and classic.
Perfect. As car. Car of a bygone era)
Cadillac: “Nevermind...we’ll just throw some chrome plastic on Chevys and call it a day.”
dude really has talent. this concept seems amazing a lot of style and space
One of the most beautiful cars I have ever seen!
make the car!
+David Heitman ***at our car show in March, STILL no decision, even on limited production - yet other specialty shops are rocking! Wake up,GM!
Beautiful car,
Build it already.
I love Ed Welburn, he has so much passion.
Wow, now that's what a beautiful car nitchin for sporty & sleekness. I would buy, great work Cadillac!!
Beautiful Design - work of art and Ed Welburn is an amazing designer.
I would buy this if it was available - purely for the looks!
Nobody can do a luxury sports coupe like Cadillac and yet they don’t make one anymore. For the prices that they charge for those awful SUVs, they could easily make a niche coupe and keep the production numbers low on purpose, because there are enough of us out here who would buy something just like this car here and here it is nine years later, and that car is still gorgeous.
put it into production!!! It's BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Beautiful proportions. I would definitely get it with the 22". Very elegant.
