"We knew we were getting close when 25th Street was lined with pristine Buick cars in every style and size. And as we opened the door of White Space Chelsea, the new Buick Wildcat EV stood proudly in its place of honor, one elongated door ajar to catch a glimpse of the interior. In the heart of New York City, famously home to some of the most influential galleries in the world, the new EV concept sits comfortably in between design, engineering, and art."
"The headlights take on a feline mystique, curving up and around the sides of the body. Tactility is everything with automobile design, as one is held by the seat while gripping the wheel, and is completely encased within a world of the design team's creation. The interior is quite immersive, feeling generously wide, and inner console is monolithic, yet unobtrusive, one singular form stretching from the front to the back seat."
"The seats feature a brilliantly deep orange seatbelt, a much more refined hue than its sometimes neon counterparts. Contrasting with the light gray seats, each element is only attached to the bottom of the body, allowing an incredible sense of spaciousness once seated. The upholstery is made using the latest in 3D knit technology, which results in a textured surface that remains plush, even on long drives."
White Space Chelsea displayed the Buick Wildcat EV concept amid a lineup of pristine Buick cars along 25th Street. The concept bridges design, engineering, and art while referencing Buick's legacy through drawings, renderings, and a loaned 1954 Wildcat that sat beside the clay model. Exterior details include feline-inspired headlights that curve around the body. The interior emphasizes tactility and spaciousness with a monolithic inner console stretching front to rear, seats attached only at the base, deep orange seatbelts contrasting light-gray upholstery, and 3D-knit technology producing a textured, plush surface suitable for long drives.
