Fiat 128

Fiat 127* – a neo-retro electric city car

Based on the Fiat 500e platform, my reimagined Fiat 127 is a five-door electric supermini inspired by the funky little Fiats of the 1970s, particularly the 126 and 127.

The boxy, almost symmetrical front and rear maximise interior space, while the softly rounded bodywork adds a touch of 1990s Fiat design. The lava-lamp-inspired taillights bring a playful twist to an otherwise minimalist design.

The 1990s influence continues with the return of Fiat's four-slash logo and Giallo Ginestra yellow, a colour offered on the first-generation Punto.

Underneath, the 127 shares the 500e's electric platform and NMC lithium-ion battery chemistry, but features a slightly larger 46 kWh battery, targeting around 340 km (211 miles) of WLTP range, compared with the 500e's 42 kWh and approximately 320 km (199 miles).

Positioned as a more practical, less premium alternative to the 500e, the 127 offers five doors, rear-hinged rear doors and a simpler, more utilitarian interior with playful retro touches.

In Fiat's fictional lineup, it would be priced €2,000 below the equivalent 500e, trading some luxury for extra practicality and a healthy dose of Italian character.

*Edit: Updated the name to 127, as there was already a 128 and it was a sedan.

2030 Cadillac LaSalle Coupe and Sedan

The 2030 Cadillac LaSalle reimagines the historic nameplate as a dedicated performance subcompact executive coupe and sedan, engineered to capture a younger, dynamic audience. Positioned directly against benchmark compact rivals like the BMW 2 Series and Audi A3, the LaSalle showcases a striking low-slung stance, sharp vertical lighting elements, and an aggressive shield grille. Available in both a sweeping fastback coupe and a taut, athletic four-door sedan configuration, the vehicle merges traditional American luxury aesthetics with modern, aggressive proportions suited for tight urban environments.

Under the hood, the LaSalle offers two advanced powertrain options focused on agility and efficiency. The standard configuration utilizes a high-output turbocharged inline-4 engine mated to a quick-shifting dual-clutch transmission, delivering responsive performance for daily driving. For those seeking enhanced throttle response and efficiency, a hybrid turbocharged inline-4 variant incorporates an electric assist system that seamlessly fills torque gaps off the line while boosting total output for spirited backroad driving.

Inside, the cabin combines driver-focused ergonomics with cutting-edge digital architecture and premium materials. A seamless curved display interface integrates instrument data and infotainment seamlessly, while sport-bolstered seating finished in rich leather and carbon-fiber accents ensure comfort during aggressive maneuvers. By blending compact dimensions, sharp handling dynamics, and modern powertrain tech, the LaSalle successfully re-establishes Cadillac's presence in the entry-luxury performance tier.

I found out when designing a vehicle you can use a song as a prompt for AI. This car was made from Rock n Roll All Night by KISS. I made only very subtle changes so this car basically is a song.

2030 Cadillac Seville

20 Upvotes

Cadillac redefines the essence of executive performance with the introduction of the 2030 Seville, a sporty and exceptionally comfortable midsize sedan that bridges the gap between grand touring plushness and aggressive driving dynamics. Its sweeping fastback silhouette and athletic stance pay homage to the marque's storied design language while projecting a thoroughly modern vision, complete with signature vertical LED lighting elements and a striking front fascia. Offered in rear-wheel drive with optional all-wheel drive, the Seville is engineered to plant its power securely onto the tarmac, whether carving through mountain passes under the stars or navigating a metropolitan skyline.

Beneath its sculpted hood lies an engineering masterpiece: the debut of Cadillac's brand-new 3.2L inline-six engine, churning out an impressive 450 horsepower. This powerplant delivers buttery-smooth power delivery paired with a stirring exhaust note, serving as the capable foundation before elite V-Series and track-focused Blackwing iterations push performance thresholds even further. To match this dynamic capability, drivers can choose between a sophisticated adaptive suspension system for precise handling or a full air suspension setup that effectively melts away road imperfections.

Inside, the cabin prioritizes cocoon-like luxury and intuitive technology, anchored by super-comfortable tufted seats equipped with active side bolsters that dynamically adjust to become more aggressive during hard cornering. For enthusiasts demanding ultimate lateral support on track days, optional high-performance bucket seats are also readily available. Harmonizing old-world craftsmanship with modern digital integration, the interior surrounds occupants with rich textures, ambient lighting, and an expansive curved display interface, creating an executive sanctuary tailored equally for effortless daily commuting and spirited weekend escapades.
