Cadillac V-Series celebrates 15th anniversary
The third generation of the Cadillac V-Series is coming to an end, and to send it off, Cadillac is making 300 Pedestal Edition models in an exclusive colour called Bronze Sand Metallic.
Available on the 2019 ATS-V and CTS-V, the Pedestal Edition features a whole raft of exclusive upgrades and technology. Each one will receive the special paint, with black chrome trim and grille surround. The wheels are finished in After Midnight and are made of a forged light alloy in the V-Series style. Brembo brakes peek out from behind the spokes to enhance the sporty looks.
Inside the car, we find Recaro seats covered in Jet Black semi-aniline leather, with micro-suede inserts in a colour Cadillac calls Light Wheat.
Carbon-fibre trim is peppered everywhere, and so is bronze thread to match the exterior. An integrated Performance Data Recorder video-data system with Cosworth Toolbox driver analysis software is standard on both cars if you want to take them to the track.
There are two options available for the CTS-V: the Carbon Fibre package (which is standard on the ATS-V), and the Luxury package. With the Carbon Fibre package, you get a bunch of carbon-fibre stuff, including a front splitter, hood vent, rear spoiler, and rear diffuser. The Luxury Package adds tri-zone climate control, split folding rear seat with armrest, heated mirrors, power rear sunshade, manual side sunshade, 110-volt outlet, and a rear-camera mirror.
The Pedestal Editions will be available to order the first week of November and will be priced at US$77,090 for the ATS-V Coupe, and US$102,590 for the CTS-V Super Sedan, which includes tuition and luxury accommodation for the Cadillac V-Performance Academy at Spring Mountain in Nevada. Canadian pricing has not been announced.
