Online Cadillac ELR Forum and Owners Group

More spy photos for the Cadillac ELR forum! This time, the photos (actually it's a video) were taken in Pittsburgh - who knows what Cadillac was doing there, and who knows why the ELR was in such heavy camouflage since they've already displayed the production ready version?!



Here's a link to the video

hahah the color of the ELR looks terrible, thank god it's a prototype

But the ELR is a production car, which is why it’s not quite as low and wide as its inspiration. The wheels are a bit closer together and the rear deck isn’t as long, a concession to packaging and the Volt architecture underneath. Still, Cadillac got the proportions close enough and, just as important, it got the details right. The Converj’s headlights are there, rendered even more stunning with a full LED treatment that incorporates elements of the flashy false grille. The taillamps have intricate blades of LEDs in an art deco design that’s worthy of the classic cursive “Cadillac” that appears in each of the housings.

This could also just be a powertrain mule of some sort. The Cadillac ELR is still good looking to me even though it's covered in geometric patterns as the camo people seem to do.

Hi,
Have you noticed that on all camoufled mules, the front lights are different from what we've seen on usual pictures?


I hope they didn't change design...

After some researchs I found out that these mules were already on the road in september 2012.
It's then some old design...

Manufacturers will do anything to keep their vehicles a secret, but that's why magazines and websites have people running around tracking them down for stories and articles. Not only do these guys find the test cars, they are able to make artists' renderings of what the car would look like with all the camo removed. Now that the Cadillac ELR has been revealed, there will still be a reason to look for them in camouflage, because as has been discussed on here before, there may end up being a 4-door version someday, or say, a convertible?!!

I have to admit to doing that once, of course not with a Cadillac ELR, but back in 2001 when I lived behind a Kia dealer they brought a bunch of cars in once at night and left covers over them. From outside they just looked like the same Kia Sephias but I snuck over and peeked under one before they opened that morning, and they said Spectra instead and had a different grille. So that was the 2002 Kia Spectra sedan. Before that the Spectra was always a hatchback.
