A few months ago, we showed you photos of the Cadillac Celestiq in the impossible-to-ignore Venom hue. Those photos weren’t of the highest quality, so we managed to get some better ones and are bringing them to you here in this exclusive GM Authority Live Photo Gallery.
Though the hue might not be for everyone, we think that the ultra-luxury sedan wears the bright green paint as well as a vehicle could, with the vast amount of bright and black accents breaking up a sea of Venom. This is perhaps most evident at the front and the sides.
The side profile also shows off how well the 23-inch wheels fill out the Celestiq’s wheel wells.
From the rear three quarters angle, the Celestiq appears to have a silhouette of a shooting brake, a shape that has stirred up some debate among the staff here.
The rear end is also interesting, such as the way in which the top tail lights join up with the trunk lid as well as the integration of the vertical tail lights.
Venom is just one of several unique Cadillac Celestiq colors GM Authority has covered in the recent past, including Boysenberry Matte and Habanero.
As a reminder, the Celestiq stands as the pinnacle of the luxury marque’s lineup. To help achieve this effect, the luxury sedan can be customized to its buyers’ imagination to create a unique, one-of-one vehicle.

This ideal also extends to the interior, which features hand-finished trim pieces throughout the cabin. A 55-inch coast-to-coast center screen is just one of five high-definition displays, as rear-seat passengers also get an advanced 12.6-inch-diagonal displays. Meanwhile, an all-glass roof panel – which features Suspended Particle Device (SPD) technology – allows variable transmission of sunlight into the cabin area.
In regard to structure, the GM BEV3 platform underpins the Celestiq, and features a 111 kWh battery pack that powers an advanced all-wheel drivetrain. Total system output is rated by GM at 600 horsepower and 640 pound-feet of torque, which results in a claimed 0-60 acceleration time of 3.8 seconds.
Production officially commenced at the GM Global Technical Center in Michigan in December 2023, with availability by waitlist only and pricing starting around the $340,000 mark. Additionally, Celestiq examples will be built by hand, with GM expecting that only two vehicles will be built per day, or between 100 and 150 units annually.
