(autoinsidernews) - With Cadillac's V-Series cars focusing on extending the brand into the high performance arena, Cadillac's Platinum Series cars, which will be introduced at the Los Angeles Auto Show, focuses on ultra-premium luxury appointments, with even higher-quality materials. The limited-edition Platinum Series will be available on the XLR, STS and DTS, with the models differentiated with exclusive paint colors, badging, and interior treatments.
The Platinum Series is a natural addition to the Cadillac brand, extending the luxury appeal of our products, said Cadillac General Manager Jim Taylor. Platinum also joins the new 2007 SRX and our V-Series cars as examples of Cadillac's return to hand-crafted interiors, an important addition to the ongoing renaissance of the brand.
The XLR Platinum features an exclusive Liquid Amethyst exterior paint and plenty of chrome. Inside, the XLR Platinum includes Cashmere leather seats and hand-stitched leather on the upper dash and door panels, and olive ash burl wood, reports Trend.
The STS Platinum is painted in Glacier Gold and also adds a brighter chrome grille, and other chrome trim. Inside, the STS Platinum features hand-cut, sewn and wrapped instrument panel, door trim and center console areas, and is available in either a Cocoa over Cashmere or an Ebony interior color scheme.
The DTS Platinum features an Ebony exterior paint and plenty of chrome. Inside, the DTS Platinum comes in a unique Light Linen over Cocoa interior, with hand-cut-and-sewn leather on the instrument panel, console and door trim. The leather-wrapped heated steering wheel features authentic olive ash burl wood and chrome appointments.
The XLR Platinum and STS Platinum will be available in the first quarter of 2007, with the DTS Platinum coming in August of 2007.
