It’s only a digital render, but it’s also our first ever look at the interior of the upcoming Cadillac CT6 that will be formally introduced at the New York Auto Show next week.
The image comes courtesy of audio specialist Bose, which is responsible for the high-end sound system designed exclusively for the CT6 sedan that will take its place at the top of Cadillac’s range offering the same footprint as the Audi A8, BMW 7-series, Mercedes-Benz S-class, Jaguar XJ and Lexus LS.
“We asked Bose to create something truly special for this new vehicle: a sound system unbounded by limits, providing an audio experience that hasn’t been matched in any other luxury automobile,” said Travis Hester, Cadillac CT6 executive chief engineer. “Cadillac CT6 customers will be elated by what they hear and feel when they switch on the Bose Panaray system.”
Offered as an option over the standard 8-speaker Bose on base models and 10-speaker Bose system on mid-grade cars, the Panaray system includes 34 speakers, nearly all of them measuring less than 4-inches or 100mm, tactically positioned throughout the cabin. According to Bose, the Panaray system “reproduces music with more clarity, precision, and deep bass than any other system preceding it”.
“There are no short-cuts to this kind of performance,” commented Marc Mansell, vice president, Bose Automotive Systems Division. “The Bose Panaray system uses a bold design architecture, and it was made possible by continuous, relentless research. That’s how we established the category with Cadillac over three decades ago. We were obsessed with performance then, and we still are.”
