2000 Concept

For Release:

October 18, 1999

DETROIT - Cadillac’s 2000 Concept design team

has merged high tech art and science to create an

ultimate luxury four-place sedan for affluent car

enthusiasts around the world. "Much like the

fashion industry’s ‘Signature Label’ products, this

model would be very exclusive and limited," said

Tom Kearns, Cadillac design manager. Designing

the Cadillac 2000 Concept as a global vehicle in

cooperation with Europe’s Simon Cox, with plans

to introduce the actual concept car in Geneva,

further reinforces Cadillac’s commitment to being

a global international luxury brand. The 2000

Concept is designed to be a high-end flagship

sedan for both Cadillac and GM, pushing the

limits of performance, comfort, communication

and safety technology.

The 2000 Concept has unmistakable Cadillac

styling with sharply delineated lines and crisp

intersections that provide a faceted, diamond-like

quality. Its enduring, timeless style, executed with

coachbuilders’ precision, appeals to consumers

who are well past trying to impress others.

"Cadillac 2000 Concept makes a statement: ‘I only

need to please myself,’ " said Kearns.

Cadillac 2000

Concept offers

"first-class"

seating for all

four passengers,

including

infotainment

systems,

state-of-the-art

night vision, and rear seat display screens.

Ventilated front and rear seats can be individually

controlled. Rear seats recline with articulating

footrests. Pedals and steering wheel are adjustable

for optimum control and unsurpassed comfort.

Rear-hinged rear doors ease entry and exit.

Cadillac 2000 Concept showcases GM’s finest

safety and security technology with fingerprint

based, keyless Biometric Security; active

suspension/aerodynamics with the next generation

Stabilitrak; adaptive cruise control with alert; dual

function, reconfigurable head up display; accident

avoidance technology; and run-flat tires.

It’s in a class with the most refined sedans offered

globally. "With all-wheel- drive and a

supercharged Northstar V8, the 2000 Concept has

been designed as a dream to be chauffeured in

during the week and to personally drive on the

weekend," said Cadillac General Manager and

GM Vice President John F. Smith.
