Right on the heals of Porsche’s 911 Black Series, Cadillac is now going to offer a CTS-V Black Diamond Edition. Available in coupe, sedan, and wagon, the Black Diamond Edition will set you back an extra $4,850 over the CTS-V base price. For the extra $4,850, you get a proprietary SpectraFlair paint. The final product is achieved through a three-coat process that includes flakes of aluminum encapsulated in magnesium fluoride.

The paint isn’t the only thing that you get for that price. The exterior gets a set of Satin Graphite 19-inch wheels and yellow Brembo brake calipers. The interior gets microfiber suede Recaro seats and Midnight Sapele wood accents littered throughout the cabin. Follow the jump for GMs official press release.
