It's hard to think of a better name for an electric car than the one once worn by Buick's fairly conservative traditional-powered model. It is noteworthy that the Chinese conceived of reincarnation.
Buick has long been a Chinese outpost of General Motors, so it's no surprise that a concept developed at GM's technical center in Shanghai made its debut at Auto China 2020 in Beijing. Cadillac Eldorado, De Ville and Fleetwood were siblings in different generations, it turned out to be in demand again only now. By the way, the relationship with the Cadillac has been preserved: the concept is based on the same version of the Ultium modular platform on which the Cadillac Lyriq electric crossover is built.
Unlike Lyric, which is halfway to serial production, Electra is a project of a more distant future, which is reflected in the exterior and interior design. The developers characterize it as cosmic, very wittily alluding to the Americans' passion for similar topics just in the 1950s, when the original Electra was created, although, of course, there are no direct quotesas says in Cadillac manual. The current interpretation of space style is no longer turbine nozzles and huge keel wings, but flowing smooth contours, a glass “lantern” above the cabin and narrow strips of LEDs that the Chinese have assembled into a kind of fans. The blades of the 23-inch wheels are decorated with a similar ornament, and the seats are set so that it seems as if they are floating in zero gravity.
Many decisions of the new "Electra" are typical for modern concepts: these are ingenious doors without handles and central pillars, and the absence of rear-view mirrors, and a rectangular steering wheel instead of a steering wheel as says in Buick manual. By the way, it can retract along with the pedals, like in a science fiction movie, when the autopilot comes into play, and then the driver turns into a spectator, in front of whom there is an immense curved 6K Retina display with an augmented reality picture. Of course, an intelligent voice assistant, communication with infrastructure elements and other traffic participants via the V2X protocol are provided, and an ordinary skateboard completes the picture of a bright future, which can be obtained from under the rear bumper to overcome the “last mile”.
According to the developers, Electra has all-wheel drive, as befits a crossover with such a solid ground clearance. There are electric motors on the front and rear axles that together produce 592 hp, which ensures acceleration to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds. In addition, a 660-kilometer range on a single charge is claimed, although the capacity of the traction battery is not declassified. Most likely, it is simply not here, as well as other components: show cars are not required to prove their outstanding characteristics with deeds; declarations are enough here. However, some elements of the concept's style may be inherited by the future production Electra - the ideal name should not be lost...
