      Drawing from the bespoke creation process that characterizes the ultra-luxury Celestiq, Curated by Cadillac seeks to establish a “new standard in personalized luxury.” This initiative allows for a high degree of customization for the CT5-V Blackwing, supported by a dedicated concierge.

      Personalized assistance is provided as each member of the concierge team possesses a design background and collaborates with clients to realize their distinct vehicle. While Cadillac has not disclosed extensive details, they mentioned that there will be an expanded color palette featuring over 160 options, compared to the typical nine colors. Each vehicle will be “hand-built” at the Artisan Center in Warren, Michigan.

      Alongside custom paint options, buyers will also have access to a wider range of interior colors and materials, which can be “mixed and matched in millions of combinations to create an interior that is as individual as each client.”

      For example, the show car showcases black and red leather seats accented with white stitching and red piping, complemented by a unique backrest with stitched V-like details.

      What is the price?

      The Curated by Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing will make its debut at Monterey Car Week, with prices starting at approximately $158,000. This is about $56,000 more than the standard model, and every unit features a powerful V8 engine producing 668 hp (498 kW / 677 PS) and 659 lb-ft (892 Nm) of torque.
