In form, power and opulence, the 2003 Cadillac Sixteen embodies the timeless qualities of an exceptionally luxurious super-sedan with its sleek, gemstone appearance and new V-16 engine. “The Sixteen is a modern interpretation of everything that made Cadillac the standard of the world and can again,” said Bob Lutz, GM vice chairman for product development and chairman of GM North America. “It’s a reminder of a glorious past as well as a progressive statement”.
As an exterior statement, the Cadillac Sixteen’s proportional composition is bold. The aluminum hood is long, giving the Cadillac Sixteen tremendous dash- to-axle dimension; the wheel arches were designed to accommodate immense 24” polished aluminum wheels. The four-door hardtop incorporates an all- glass roof and is without B-pillars. The crisp-edged lines of the aluminium body panels accentuate the Cadillac Sixteen’s striking appearance. No less than 30 layers of paint were applied to achieve the midnight silver body colour."
