LaSalle - MARKET: Global
PRICE: $355,000-$390,000
Directed at the Rolls-Royce Phantom and Bentley Flying Spur, this car slots in above the Fleetwood Brougham Sixty Special but below the Sixteen. Good for 600 HP from it's DI 6.0L Ultra12 engine, this beautiful car can be custom tailored by the factory to be purely for luxury or to have a more sporting style. 20" or 22" chrome rims can be had with this car, as well as standard Bose suspension. Four captains chairs with exotic, top-grade leather, everyone can ride in comfort. Custom tailored to the owners exact tastes and preferances. Two-mode hybrid system available as an option.

Sixteen - MARKET: Global
PRICE: $475,000-$560,000
Keep it exactly as the concept has, aside front maybe a few minor additions you can wedge into this ultra-luxury Maybach fighter. Offers a strong, smooth 1100 hp DI 9.0L 16-cyl engine, Bose suspension, quieter and comfier interior, 24" chrome low-profiles or 22" chrome smooth-riding "luxury" wheels and a packed house of features. Custom-built and custom-designed at buyer's discretion. Choice of wood. Choice of leather/suede. Choice of carpet. Every single option you can think of. Two-mode hybrid system available as an option.
•V-series adds 1450-hp as displacement is bumped to DI 9.4L's of 16-cylinders plus sport-tuned suspension and sportier interior and exterior. Overkill? Yes. But aren't all super/ultra-luxury sedans overkill?

XLR - MARKET: Global
PRICE: $85,000-$115,000
Very similar to the current model but with an all-new luxurious yet sporty interior. Similar but updated exterior. 525 HP DI 5.6L Ultra10. Two-mode hybrid system available as an option.
•V-series adds all the performance upgrades including the 600 HP DI 6.0L Ultra12.

ZSR - MARKET: Global
PRICE: $400,000-$460,000
Cadillac supercar oriented towards some of the top supercars in the world. All carbon fiber body shell with a mix of carbon fiber, suede, and leather on the interior. Extensive usage of aluminum in frame. Engine is a DI 6.8L Ultra12 good for 800 HP and 650 TQ to all four wheels.
•V-series gets 900 HP and 900 TQ from a worked over DI 7.0L Ultra12, cutting the majority of the extreme amount of creature comforts for weight saving, adds a race-tuned suspension to replace the adjustable MagneticRide II setup, and bigger, wider, grippier rubber (365/30/20.) The adjustable stability control, however, stays.

BRX - MARKET: Global
PRICE: $27,000-$36,000
The BRX concept you've seen. Same engine choices as seen in the B-series. AWD standard. Two-mode hybrid system available as an option.
•V-series adds same engine and performance specs in B-series V.

SRX - MARKET: Global
PRICE: $37,000-$53,000
Progression in design over the current model. Slightly lower-riding and wider body than current model. To compete with the X5 and M-class. AWD standard. Same engine choices as in the C-series. Two-mode hybrid system available as an option.
•VIP version should offer a strong, smooth 450 hp Ultra8, Bose suspension, quieter and comfier interior, 20" chrome low-profiles or 18" chrome smooth-riding/comfortable "luxury" wheels, as well as completely full list of standard features you'd expect for thousands, if not tens of thousands more.
•V-series adds same engine and performance goodies as C-series V model. $75,000.

Escalade - MARKET: Global
PRICE: $65,000-$105,000
