Cadillac has unveiled yesterday the new Cadillac CTS-V Black Diamond special edition, that has received a special paint job done through a special process. The Cadillac CTS-V Black Diamond features a tri-caot paintjob, which is available for all three body styles of the model, Sedan, Coupe and Wagon. The Cadillac CTS-V Black Diamond is covered in the black stuff by JDSU’s proprietary SpectraFlair pigment that manages to offer the paint added dimension.
The SpectraFlair on the Cadillac CTS-V Black Diamond uses aluminum flakes encapsulated in a glass-like substance called magnesium fluoride instead of the classic small bits of metal.
Apart from the special pain, the Cadillac CTS-V Black Diamond also comes with Satin Graphite
19-inch wheels and Brembo brakes with six-piston front, four-piston back calipers.
At the interior, the Cadillac CTS-V Black Diamond comes with Recaro sport seats with 14-way adjustment, French-stitched leather and microfiber suede inserts and a Midnight Sapele wood trim.
The Cadillac CTS-V Black Diamond price list starts at 69,190 USD for the manual gearbox model and at 70,490 USD for the automatic.
In conclusion, you'll have to pay $4,850 USD over the base Cadillac CTS-V Black Diamond price. You'll be able to find a Cadillac CTS-V Black Diamond for sale starting from March.

“The CTS-V Black Diamond Edition is like a finely crafted, tailored tuxedo,” said Michelle Killen, Cadillac exterior paint designer. “The base color may be a simple black, but the details and richness of the material set it apart.”
“Auto makers and consumers are looking to differentiate the color black, an ubiquitous color in automotive,” said John Book, Custom Color Solutions product manager at JDSU. “Black Diamond offers the discerning Cadillac customer a special option color that stands out and remains true to their sense of luxury and style.”
“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.”
