Video Summary

Here is the summary of the YouTube video:

- The Cadillac Optiq V is a smaller, lighter, more nimble, and sportier entry-level luxury EV.
- This is the V version, featuring Brembo brakes, 519 horsepower, and 650 pound-feet of torque.
- V mode and a relaxed competitive ESC mode are included; the ESC mode allows the user to slide around, for a sporty experience.
- The Optiq V has a 33-inch wide screen, that shows lots of different things, with very nice graphics.
- The interior materials are well-dialed and fantastic. This model has a carbon package, with carbon fiber represented inside and out.
- The featured car is painted in Monarch Orange, and the interior is Sky Cool Gray.
- It features Super Cruise, a regen paddle, heated steering wheel, and heated/ventilated seats, for a luxurious experience.
- The 19-speaker AKG sound system sounds really sharp.
- The wheels are 21 inches, with specifically tuned Continental SportContact 6 tires; tires are 275/40R21 in a square set up.
- The front brakes are massive Brembos, and have special adaptive suspension that allows a 13 millisecond response time.
- This pre-production model estimates a range of 275 miles.
- A large door in front can handle the charging infrastructure from other countries/parts of the globe.
- The interior provides lots of storage space.
- There's a V graphic tinted into the back window and blue seat backs.
- In launch control, the 0-60 acceleration feels brutal and feels like a little quicker than 3.5 seconds.
- Competitive mode is designed for hard street driving/canyon carving.
- The highest compliment is that it doesn’t drive or feel like an EV, with a great amount of rotation.
