2011 Cadillac CTS-V Black Diamond
Cadillac unveiled today the Black Diamond Edition, a new vehicle wearing an exclusive tri-coat paint, which will be available in the CTS-V Sedan, Coupe and Wagon models. The new special edition uses a new tri-coat paint, also called "Black Diamond", created using a meticulous process that gives the paint added dimension. Here is how the process is described: instead of using small bits of metal, the SpectraFlair pigment in Black Diamond uses aluminum flakes encapsulated in a glass-like substance called magnesium fluoride. As a result, we can see diamond sparkles as light hits the surface from different angles.
Besides the unique paint, the car also features new satin graphite 19-inch wheels with yellow Brembo brake calipers and a Midnight Sapele wood trim for the interior. Regarding the price, GM wants from you for the CTs-V model $69,190 for the manual or $70,490 for the automatic, a $4,850 premium over the CTS-V base price. For those who don’t know, the CTS-V will come with the impressive 6.2-liter V8 engine delivering 556 hp, but also with the Magnetic Ride Control suspension.
"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."
