The Cadillac Evoq was a concept car created by Cadillac and unveiled at the 1999 Detroit Auto Show. The design led to the production of the XLR. A project begun under then General Manager of Cadillac, John Smith. Intended as a "Statement of Brand Character", it presaged Cadillacs to come after such as the CTS, SRX, XLR and so forth. It was built by Metalcrafters of California in 1998. Its engine was, officially anyway, the first Northstar designed for Rear Wheel Drive application.
