The Cadillac Provoq Concept car was first shown at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this January before it attended the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The Cadillac Provoq is interesting in many aspects but perhaps mostly because it's a great look at the Cadillac CTS bassed crossover that is coming sometime 2009 - 2010. The Provoq concept is buillt on the General Motors E-Flex platform which also will power the coming Saab 9-4X and the much hyped hybrid car Volt.
The Provoq is also a hybrid car but the production car will be an ordinary petrol car but it gives a clue about what hydrogen powered car can achieve in a not so distant future. The hydrogen engine drives no less then three electric engines, a main engine located in the front on 70 kW and two 30 kW engines in the rear, one on each rear wheel. Cadillac states that the 130 kW or 177 hp will be enough to give the car an acceleration of 0-60 on 8.5 seconds. The car have many features to make it slice through the air ass effective as possible, the active grill only opens when the engine needs cooling to keep the aerodynamics optimal when the engine don't need the cooling.
The design clearly builds on the Cadillac CTS but most design elements have been taken one step further.
In the video we get an interview with Eric Clough, GM Director Interior Design for the Provoq concept and he guides us through the concept and the techniques that lay underneath the surface.
