Buick Continues to Cook In China With a New Retro-Futuristic Sedan Concept

If you need proof, just look at the company's latest concept car. The Buick Electra Orbit is a stunning new concept from GM's Chinese subsidiary that "marries the romance of the 1950s with futuristic technology and pure-electric architecture," according to the brand.

Developed entirely in-house by the GM China Advanced Design Center, the Electra Orbit is said to take inspiration from space-age spacecraft, jets, and also Buick concepts from the 1950s. The sleek, uninterrupted curves up front and the massive overhang in the rear are reminiscent of those early flying machines, thanks in part to the metallic paint simply known as "Space."
