Wiki says: The Cadillac Cien is a high-performance concept sports car manufacttured by the Cadillac division of General Motors. Unveiled at the 2002 Detroit Auto Show, the Cien celebrates Cadillac's 100th anniversary; its name is Spanish for "100". Inspired by the F-22 Raptor fighter jet, the Cien is powered by an experimental 7.5L NorthStar XV12 V12 mated to a 6-speed automated manual; the engine, made of aluminum, generates 750 horsepower and 650 lb⋅ft of torque. The Cien illustrates Cadillac's new design philosophy, melding design and technology in a mid-engine, two-seat sports car. The body and chassis are made of carbon fiber composite that is lightweight and stiff. The Cien is equipped with scissor-style doors that pivot at the base of the A-pillars upon opening. The car was initially expected to be produced but production was cancelled at a board meeting due to a high expected selling price and the lack of an appropriate customer base.
