The Cadillac Escala is a concept car built by Cadillac for the 2016 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. The last of a trifecta of concept cars initially conceived in 2007, it is preceded by the Ciel and Elmiraj, which had debuted back in 2011 and 2013 respectively.[1] The Escala previews Cadillac's future design language under the leadership of president Johan de Nysschen, being an evolution of the Art and Science design philosophy that has been used on its cars for over a decade.[3]

The Escala was first announced via a trailer video on August 15, 2016.[4] Its name, revealed one day before its public debut, derives from the Spanish word for scale. This refers to the Escala utilizing an elongated version of the Cadillac CT6's Omega underpinnings, being approximately six inches longer than the latter.[5] The car was unveiled at a cocktail party in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California[6] on August 18, 2016, which was attended by Johan de Nysschen, GM Vice President of Global Design Michael Simcoe and Cadillac's executive director of global design Andrew Smith, along with several other executives.[7]

Although yet to be officially confirmed for production, it was described by de Nysschen as "a potential addition to our existing product plan” in a press release, its ultimate fate determined by the fertility of the flagship luxury sedan market.[3] However, it previews the design, powertrain and other advanced technological features currently in development that is set to appear on other upcoming Cadillac production cars in the future.[2]
