Cadillac is planning an ultra luxury car slotted above the Deville (soon to be replaced by a new car called the DTS) and smack in the middle of A8, 7-Series and S-Class territory. It takes many cues from the Sixteen concept car and will offer an all new V12 in development now.

The sophisticated Cadillac Northstar XV-12 may find its first home in the Escalade
The all-aluminum XV-12 7.5-liter V12 kicks out 750 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, and meets the fuel economy standards of a V8. The engine offers a number of breakthrough features. General Motor's Displacement on Demand technology maximizes fuel efficiency by running on six cylinders or eight cylinders depending on engine load and throttle imput. A combined starter generator allows for faster, more muted starts. And a direct-injection gasoline combustion system amps up power, sharpens fuel efficiency and cuts down emissions.
