2hrs | The Cien

07.1 8 .19 2002 Cadillac Cien In the year 2019 , Lincoln Six Echo (Ewan McGregor) lives in an isolated facility, far removed from the radioactive wasteland outside, in which residents await transport to “the island,” a utopian paradise. However, most are unaware that they are actually “agnates”--clones that only exist to harvest body parts for their wealthy “sponsors.” In order to reveal the truth, Lincoln Six Echo searches for his sponsor, Tom Lincoln, all the while being pursued by a private security team attempting to prevent the story from coming out.   In the movie, the Lincolns evade capture in Tom’s “2009 Caddy” - already a decade old within the narrative. The car was based on the real-world 2002 Cadillac Cien, a dramatic concept vehicle built to celebrate the brand’s 100th anniversary. Futuristic in appearance and exuding luxury, the Cien fit neatly into the near-future world and wealth of Tom’s character. To ensure the safety of the one-off concept, a fu...

3hrs | The 1970 XP-882

Even this early in the mid-engine Corvette story, such a model had already taken on mythical status among the faithful, and the XP-882’s drop-dead looks gave Corvette lovers everything they didn’t even know they wanted. And then some. Corvette lead engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov’s team started working on the XP-882 in 1968. Two prototypes were built around small-block Chevy engines, with plans for big-block power and eventually all-wheel drive. Zora had been playing with AWD since his experimental mid-engine CERV II racer. The styling group designed a new look that was crisp, edgy, and low-slung, yet it still looked like a Corvette. Despite fierce resistance from sales, styling, and engineering, Chevrolet general manager John Z. DeLorean canceled the XP-882 project in August 1969 to pur...
