In 1985, Buick introduced a concept car that didn’t just hint at the future, it rushed towards it, spinning all four wheels. The Wildcat, a sleek mid-engine marvel, wasn’t your typical show pony designed to amaze with crazy curves and unrealistic style. Instead, it channeled Buick’s racing mentality into a machine that combined raw power with innovative engineering.
Buick, a brand that’s all but disappeared in the US, is booming in China where it’s releasing designs that look like they came straight out of a sci-fi movie. Meet the Buick Electra Orbit Concept, which was designed by GM’s China Advanced Design Center. This electric sedan combines 1950s space-age style with modern tech to create a car teases Buick’s future.
