General Motors has pledged to fully transform itself from a traditional ICE automaker into a sustainable company that will even achieve total carbon neutrality come 2040. But first, it has to unleash a barrage of zero-emission models upon the world.
Naturally, one can imagine the company has plans to deliver a luxurious battery-powered sedan sooner or later. It would be logical since Tesla has been churning out countless examples of the Model S over the years, and just about every small or big startup (such as Lucid Motors with the Air) is thinking about joining the party.

Now, we have no idea if General Motors has decided to allow us a glimpse into the future similar to Volkswagen’s Project Trinity or not, but here’s a stylish sedan sketch to keep us company while waiting for more EVs to join the roster alongside the 2022 Bolts.

Of course, this could be just an ideation sketch, even though GM Design’s official Instagram account claims these renders are “showing how easily a strong volume statement can translate closer to production.” Intriguing words, right?

Well, anyway, even if nothing pans out from this official post, we’re still very much interested in seeing what this social media account has to show us next. After all, since we’re dealing with an official venue, we’re basically getting a peek inside the imagination of the people tasked with literally sculpting the automaker’s designs.

As far as these sketches are concerned, credited to car designer Kevin Nougarede, we think this electric sedan would best be suited to a Lucid Air comparison if it ever turns into a real car. That is also why our photo gallery also includes official images of the California-based company’s Dream Edition.

Here's hoping that GM has plans to bring out something that’s also capable of delivering more than 1,000 horsepower and still travel for 465 miles (almost 750 km) on a single charge.
