Cadillac launches CTS-V Black Diamond Edition

Cadillac has revealed a special edition of its high-performance model CTS-V. The Black Diamond Edition will be available this spring and will feature popular performance options and exclusive tri-coat paint, with the same name.

Available in the CTS-V Sedan, Coupe and Wagon versions the Black Diamond Edition will be the first car of an automaker to use in the CTS-V Sedan, Coupe and Wagon JDSU’s proprietary SpectraFlair pigment in North America. The dark tri-coat paint that will be used on the Black Diamond Edition has a diamond-like sparkle because of the use of aluminum flakes encapsulated in a glass-like substance called magnesium fluoride.

“We’ve already established V-Series as a serious sub-brand for Cadillac,” said Rich Pinto, Cadillac creative designer. “Black Diamond further establishes V-Series in the market as a performance-minded line of vehicles with a luxury twist.” 

All body variants of the CTS-V Black Diamond Edition will be powered by a supercharged 6.2L V8 engine with 556-horspower. They will be available in both manual and automatic versions.
