The Cadillac Sollei is the company’s latest experiment in producing unique vehicles for special clients. Aside from a sleek custom body, it boasts a fairly exotic interior trimmed with a mushroom-based material known as Fine Mycelium.
While recognizable as a Celestiq EV from the front, the car is otherwise clad in all-new bodywork. It is also finished in Manila Cream, a tint the company hasn’t used since late ‘50s.
The four-seat interior does its best to match the exterior. It makes active use of recycled and renewable trimming materials, but Fine Mycelium is applied rather sparsely. Most of the cabin is wrapped in leather and fabric with five kinds of wood veneers for accents. Cadillac points out that all wooden applications were cut and shaped by hand.
The equipment list mentions a 55-inch display and a fridge between the rear seats. Interestingly, the car has a birdwatcher’s set on board, complete with a quail call, a picture album and a leather pencil case for sketching birds out in the wild. There is also a sophisticated ambient lighting system divided in several zones. You can choose from 126 light hues for each zone.
Following in the tracks of Rolls-Royce, Cadillac plans to start offering bespoke vehicles to its V.I.P. customers soon, and the Sollei is the first example.
