This Cadillac CTS-V Carbon Black Edition Is A Japan-Only Affair
Do you like what you see here? Sorry folks, this special Cadillac CTS-V Carbon Black Edition is for sale in Japan only. And only 4 will be made.
The North American market has its own version of the Cadillac CTS-V with the Carbon Black sport package. Black accents and highlights, carbon-fiber addons on the exterior for a more aggressive exterior look along with matching interiors that boast of carbon-fiber. You get sporty seats too.
Cadillac has launched a slightly revised version of the 2017 Cadillac CTS-V Carbon Black Edition in Japan. The meaner and sharper version will be limited to four units only in the Land of the Rising Sun.
The approach is more or less the same as that of the US-spec 2017 CTS-V Carbon Black which means there’s going to be lots of black detailing and a generous dose of carbon-fiber. Black chrome front grille, hood vent, front diffuser, side vents, rear diffuser and rear spoiler on the outside add to the drama and the show is signed off with wheels in After Midnight dark finish.

On the other hand, the standard version of the US-spec car comes with V-Series performance seats. Recaro seats are optional back here.
Powerplant remains the same as the US model with a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 capable of churning out 640 hp of power nestling under that hood. Top speed is 200 mph and it can surge past 60mph in 3.7 seconds.
Japanese customers have a limited choice of colors to choose from – Sable Black and Crystal White Tri-Coat. Meanwhile, the US color palette features shades of Velocity Red, Black Raven, Phantom Gray Metallic and Crystal White Tricoat.
