Prior to its debut next week in New York City, Cadillac’s new CT6 has been leaking in dribs and drabs. First it appeared in an Oscar-night television commercial. Then division boss Johan de Nysschen revealed that it will eventually receive a twin-turbo V-8. And now, courtesy of the sound engineers at Bose, we’ve got our first glimpse of the new top-line Cad’s interior.

Claming that the new Panaray system is its most advanced car radio ever—and a clear step up from their “never-before” four-speaker setup offered on the 1984 Corvette—Bose has employed no less than thirty-four individual speakers. There are speakers in the headrests; speakers in the doors; speakers under the parcel shelf; and speakers in instrument panel that, like Bang and Olufssen’s tweeters, rise out of the dash. You’ve also got four speakers under each front seat.

Some folks might not want to spring for the full-boat Panaray system. For them, Cadillac is offering 10-speaker and eight-speaker Bose systems. They feature fewer speakers and are not as fancy or expensive. Undoubtedly, those folks are the sort who tend to get sand kicked in their faces on the beach.

Audio aside, the real story here is the sort-of look at the CT6’s interior space. It seems to hew to modern Cadillac conventions—one might also note the Benzoid seat-adjustment controls mounted on the door panels, a feature not deployed on the company’s lesser models. The asymmetrical center console is reminiscent of the unit in the CTS, and the seats get a sort of embroidered chevron motif. It’s handsome enough, but at this level, luxury is in the details and materials, both of which aren’t exactly discernible in Bose’s rendering. You can bet we’ll be all up in that business when the sheet comes off the CT6 in Cadillac’s new hometown next week.
