Have you ever noticed how the last few tomatoes at the supermarket are never bought? That's because the last of anything is never attractive.
The current generation Cadillac CTS is on its last legs, as the lighter, better replacement is on the way, built on the same aluminum Alpha architecture as the ATS. But unlike those old tomatoes, the last few CTS models are amazing.
A pair of new performance-inspired, limited-edition models featuring custom paint will join the Cadillac CTS Coupe and V-Series product lines soon, the official announcement from Cadillac reads.
First of all, Cadillac has created the Stealth Blue special edition offering a new metallic color available on the CTS-V models, including the coupe, sedan and Wagon, plus the regular CTS Coupe. Every car except the wagons also gets a special “Twilight Blue” leather interior that also contains a bit of suede for the seat centers.
Limited to just 100 examples, Cadillac is also preparing the Silver Frost Edition based only on the CTS-V Coupe. It's basically the Cadillac equivalent of BMW frozen paint, created by using "“30-gloss” clear coat to the paint, as opposed to the “80-gloss” found in standard paint finishes. The paint will still emit a low “sparkle” when certain lights reflect off it, but the finish will be distinctly “matte.”"
“Some color hues, such and blues, greys and reds easily identify with performance and velocity,” said Michelle Killen, lead creative designer for exterior paints. “Both Stealth Blue and Silver Frost are very expressive but still true to the luxury and exclusivity that a Cadillac represents, which was a driving factor in the creation of the color.”
