Cadillac Celestiq Spy Shots Reveal EV's Active Rear Spoiler

While Cadillac has already unveiled its flagship Celestiq, production won't begin until December. That gives the luxury brand time to fine-tune the electric vehicle, which was recently caught testing in public. The fresh spy shots capture the EV's retractable rear spoiler in action.

The Cadillac on the photos seems to be in rough shape. The doors, body and rear bumper don't match in color. The doors have odd scratches and other markings, but the photos clearly show the rear spoiler up. It's unclear if the Celestiq will have any other active aerodynamic features.

Details about the car continue to trickle out from the company. When Cadillac revealed the Celestiq last October, the company said the EV would have a projected output of 600 horsepower while offering an estimated range of 300 miles from its 111-kilowatt-hour battery.

Cadillac recently revealed the Celestiq's starting price - $340,000. That's the price before the customer customizes the vehicle or the automaker adds the destination charge, which the company will announce later. The automaker began notifying owners earlier this month that they could begin the design process for their vehicles, allowing them to choose from an array of leather, wood, carbon fiber and other materials to personalize their Celestiq. 

The company said it has seen strong demand for the Celestiq since it was announced last year. While Cadillac says it has already sold 18 months of Celestiq production, customers shouldn't expect the automaker to pump them out. The company will limit production of the hand-built vehicle to 500 per year, and not everyone who pre-orders a car will get one.

The Celestiq is a stunning EV, inside and out, as the luxury brand sets its sights on competing with Bentley, Rolls-Royce, and other high-end luxury brands. The cabin will be packed with technology and luxury features, with seating for four.
