Cadillac CELESTIQ Night Test: 655 Electric Horsepower in Stealth Mode!
- Published on 13/08/2026 7:22
Cadillac unveils a unique, dark, and almost unsettling CELESTIQ Night Test in Monterey, showcasing the customization possibilities of its electric flagship.
The Cadillac CELESTIQ was already far from an ordinary car. With the Night Test, presented during the 2026 Monterey Car Week, the American manufacturer pushes the concept of bespoke automobiles even further. A unique specimen that this time opts for discretion rather than exuberance.
The inspiration is quite original. Cadillac explains that it envisioned this Night Test around the hours spent away from the public, during which athletes, artists, or engineers work in the shadows to achieve perfection. Hence, a particularly dark “night laboratory” atmosphere.
The bodywork features a Caspia Tricoat Metallic paint, paired with dark-finish 23-inch wheels. The Jade treatment on the front lighting elements further diminishes reflections and enhances the stealthy appearance of this massive electric sedan.
655 hp under a very dark cloak
The interior continues this search with Backen Black and Sheer Gray leathers, carbon fiber, and brushed metal elements. A deliberately minimalist treatment that contrasts with some very ostentatious creations in the world of ultra-luxury.
The mechanics remain the same as the CELESTIQ: two electric motors, all-wheel drive, and 655 hp, enabling a 0 to 60 mph (96 km/h) time of 3.7 seconds. The EPA range reaches 303 miles, or about 488 km.
Hand-assembled at the Cadillac Artisan Center in Warren, Michigan, this unique specimen primarily illustrates Cadillac’s strategy: to make every CELESTIQ a true special order rather than just an ordinary production model.
