The White Diamond Tricoat CTS-V sedan with Satin Graphite wheels deserved more credit as a worthy ride for Hot Rod Magazine’s Power Tour than I was prepared to give. The car’s appearance and paint job was definitely a conversation starter and helped the V stand out. White Diamond Tricoat is a premium color offering for $995 that shimmers in the sunlight with pearlescent flakes. I can’t recall seeing a white CTS-V in the wild, but according to Cars.com’s national new-car inventory, there are 175 examples listed for sale, which is second only to the most popular color black (two variations) with 578 examples.
