Cadillac is planning an ultra luxury car slotted above the Deville (soon to be replaced by a new car called the DTS) and smack in the middle of A8, 7-Series and S-Class territory. It takes many cues from the Sixteen concept car and will offer an all new V12 in development now.

The car,

The sophisticated Cadillac Northstar XV-12 may find its first home in the Escalade


The all-aluminum XV-12 7.5-liter V12 kicks out 750 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, and meets the fuel economy standards of a V8. The engine offers a number of breakthrough features. General Motor's Displacement on Demand technology maximizes fuel efficiency by running on six cylinders or eight cylinders depending on engine load and throttle imput. A combined starter generator allows for faster, more muted starts. And a direct-injection gasoline combustion system amps up power, sharpens fuel efficiency and cuts down emissions.

I wonder why this motor will only rate 450 lb/ft.?

It resembles the Maybach a bit with that 2-tone color in the first pic. Looks pretty sharp. That engine is sure a beast, could use some more torque, but again were talking about a Ultimate LUXURY vehicle.

Not one to drive, But to be Driven In...

Probably a very tiny crankshaft.

jag doesnt have anything that hefty, this could be the future of the towncar!!!! LOL

Probably a very tiny crankshaft.

Yeah, it sounds like a high RPM engine.

Should be an awesome car, now to just win the lottery.
