General Motors
To enhance the entire Cadillac brand and return General Motors to preeminence as the world standard in producing luxury automobiles, GM approached Alcoa to collaborate on the design and engineering of the new Cadillac Sixteen concept car, the ultimate aspirational sedan.
Working with GM presented Alcoa the opportunity to demonstrate more than two decades of structural design and engineering expertise. The Sixteen’s aluminum auto structure is unique in its capacity to meet significant performance, occupant comfort, and safety requirements while accommodating its aesthetic needs.
The Cadillac Sixteen has become a demonstrator of leading-edge automotive aluminum engineering, with Alcoa integrating its latest technologies,including: energy-absorbing bumpers; an upper body design supporting GM’s desire for an unparalleled passenger view; a compartment highlighting the V-16 engine, the jewel of the concept vehicle; and assurance the car will be easily recyclable.
With Alcoa’s work completed in just eight months, the Sixteen was easily the highlight of the 2003 North American International Auto Show.
