All of my life I have always HATED Cadillacs. Mainly because my family is from Palermo, Sicily and because of that fact people ALWAYS assume that a Caddy is our car of choice. And I understand why... A lot of Italians do drive Cadillacs. They love em. Which is exactly why I wouldn't drive one. I was bound and determined to not be a stereotype. But this new Black Diamond Edition Cadillac...omg. I want it. I want it bad. It's so damn haute...

The Cadillac Black Diamond Edition ($69,190-$70,490) Look at it... *sigh*

"All stereotypes turn out to be true. This is a horrifying thing about life. All those things you fought against as a youth: you begin to realize they're stereotypes because they're true."

The Black Diamond Edition, available in the CTS-V Sedan, Coupe and Wagon models, will be the first use by an automaker of JDSU’s proprietary SpectraFlair pigment in North America. JDSU, a Milipitas, Calif.,-based optical technology firm, specializes in cutting-edge color solutions for a wide range of markets. Its pigments are used in certain DuPont paints supplied to Cadillac.
In the CTS-V Black Diamond, a dark tri-coat paint is embedded with SpectraFlair Bright Silver pigment. While other luxury makers offer metallic paints, Black Diamond is created through a meticulous process that gives the paint added dimension.
Instead of simply containing small bits of metal, the SpectraFlair pigment in Black Diamond uses aluminum flakes encapsulated in a glass-like substance called magnesium fluoride. The result is a paint that has a diamond-like sparkle as light hits the surface from different angles.
“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.”
Black Diamond helps Cadillac meet growing demand by luxury buyers for paints that are set apart not just by their color but also by their special effects.
“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.”
In addition to the unique paint, CTS-V Black Diamond comes standard with content that complements its look and feel. The special edition has:
- Satin Graphite 19-inch wheels with yellow Brembo brake calipers. These six-piston front, four-piston back brake calipers provide exceptional stopping capabilities.
- Recaro seats that feature 14 adjustable elements, French-stitched leather and microfiber suede inserts in the center sections of the cushions and seatbacks.
- Midnight Sapele wood trim known for its durability and distinctive grain.
- First use of JDSU’s proprietary SpectraFlair® pigment in North America
- Satin Graphite wheels, yellow Brembo brake calipers add style, performance
- Recaro seating, Midnight Sapele wood complete interior
