What Happened

Cadillac has unveiled the CELESTIQ Night Test, a one-of-one commission inspired by the quiet, after-hours world where performance is honed. The vehicle is meant to evoke the secrecy of an athlete or musician practicing away from the crowd, embodying what Cadillac calls 'performance without theater.' Cloaked in Caspia Tricoat Metallic high-gloss paint, the Night Test features dark-finish 23-inch reverse rims with Jade-finish accents and a Jade lighting bezel that diffuses light instead of reflecting it.

Night Test design details
  • Caspia Tricoat Metallic high-gloss exterior
  • Dark-finish 23-inch reverse rims with Jade-finish accents
  • Jade lighting bezel framing the headlamps
  • Backen Black and Sheer Gray leather seating
  • Carbon fiber accents and brushed metal details

Like every CELESTIQ, the Night Test was hand-assembled at the Cadillac Artisan Center in Warren, Michigan, using U.S. and globally sourced parts. It is a one-of-one example built from an individually curated palette of colors, materials and finishes. The car will make its debut at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, part of Monterey Car Week. As the ultimate expression of Cadillac technology, the CELESTIQ is custom-tailored to each client's taste and expectation.

Previously from General Motors

Cadillac's new CELESTIQ Night Test continues the brand's focus on ultra-personalization. A day earlier, Cadillac unveiled a $54,995 Curated customization program for the electric ESCALADE IQ, offering more than 160 exterior colors with deliveries starting in late 2027.

Why this matters

The CELESTIQ Night Test showcases how Cadillac can create a bespoke, hand-assembled electric vehicle tailored to a single client's vision. It demonstrates the brand's commitment to ultra-luxury personalization for its flagship EV, potentially attracting buyers seeking a uniquely specified car. The one-off design also highlights the work of Cadillac's Artisan Center in Warren, Michigan.
