Cadillac Reveals Sollei Concept, A Bespoke Convertible Version Of Its $300,000 Celestiq - autojosh

Cadillac reveals the Sollei concept, an ultra-luxurious convertible version of the $300,000+ Celestiq EV.

Sollei is finished in “Manila Cream,” a bold yellow paint color originally used on Cadillacs in 1957 and 1958. 

Though, still in its concept form, the Sollei may arrive as a future bespoke commission similar to the Rolls-Royce Droptail.





General Motors luxury marque has introduced the all-new Cadillac Sollei concept, which is a futuristic coach-built electric convertible version of the marque’s $300,000+ Celestiq EV.

Cadillac says that the name is coined from a combination of sun (‘SOL’) and leisure (‘LEI’), which it said represents brand’s optimistic inspiration for an open-air, leisurely lifestyle.

“SOLLEI reimagines the discovery of travel, envisioning a personalized driving experience that connects one with the natural world around them,” said Erin Crossley, design director, Cadillac.

“The concept celebrates Cadillac’s pedigree of elegant convertibles in a modern form by cultivating high luxury through design expressions and experiences.”





One the outside, the Sollei is finished in “Manila Cream,” a bold yellow paint originally used on Cadillacs in 1957 and 1958, while the conventional door handles have been replaced with discrete buttons.

Cadillac says that its metallic roof fabric is called “Daybreak” because “as the roof pulls back, sunlight can pour over the interior”.

Inside, the all-electric 2+2 convertible has a Nappa leather featuring a pink iridescent pigment that creates a subtle color-changing when the sun hits it.

The cabin is also equipped with the brand’s signature 55-inch pillar-to-pillar screen, charging mats on the console, a beverage chiller door and glass tray in the rear compartment that reveals different sunlight exposures.

Though, still in its concept form, Cadillac says the “imaginative design exercise pushes the boundaries of future bespoke commissions,” which suggests a future limited-edition models similar to the coach-built Rolls-Royce Droptail models.
