The 550 horsepower , as I have , is extremely exciting if only because it’s one confirmed beacon of awesome in Cadillac’s increasingly . And it seems like Cadillac knows it too, because it seems like the company is really milking the opportunity with a “second installment” of cars.

In January, we that the CT6-V would be part of a preorder program that would be capped at 275 models in the U.S.The price was $88,790, but, confusingly, Cadillac also told us that these wouldn’t be the only CT6-Vs running around. It said that there “will be more CT6-Vs arriving, along with Blackwing V8 Platinum models,”supposedly after the 275 cap.

There is now apparently a “second installment” of CT6-Vs, according to the automaker via an email.But they will be $4,000 more expensive for something that’s allegedly no different than what was offered in the first wave. Cadillac also hasn’t yet announced final production numbers.

Per :

Cadillac has announced continued production of the CT6-V, this time costing $92,790.

Those slow on the draw have hopefully used the extra time to fish another $4,000 from their pockets. The elevated price buys the same car that was $88,790 two months ago - nothing has changed but the bottom line.

This is dumb.

If Cadillac is going to make the CT6-V exclusive, then make it damn exclusive. Offer only 275 examples, sure! But to penalize people who weren’t “quick on the draw” by increasing the price by $4,000 as a “second installment”? For a product that isn’t any different? How, exactly, is this anything other than manufactured exclusivity and money-grabbing?

In the email, a Cadillac spokesperson declined to provide a reason for the price hike. If it’s worth it to you, be ready to pony up.
