Cadillac unveiled the 2011 CTS Coupe at the Geneva Motor Show
Posted by: | CommentsGeneva 2010– Cadillac unveiled the 2011 CTS Coupe at the Geneva Motor Show, the latest and most dramatic of the brand’s series of new designs to reach production.
Slated to arrive in North American Cadillac showrooms in the spring of 2010, the CTS Coupe is a new luxury sports coupe designed to become the centerpiece of the brand’s revised lineup. It will be launched in Europe in fall 2010.
“CTS Coupe is the new focal point of Cadillac, expressing both our design and technical capabilities,” said Bryan Nesbitt, Cadillac general manager. “It is intended to appeal to a new generation of car enthusiasts.”
The Coupe joins the CTS Sport Sedan, the 564 horsepower (415 kW) CTS-V and new CTS Sport Wagon as the foundation of Cadillac’s lineup. A high-performance V-Series edition of the Coupe will also be released in 2010. The CTS Coupe’s design carries over virtually unchanged from the concept car that was introduced at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in 2008.
The Coupe is a classic 2+2 layout bolstered with advanced technology, such as a rear-view camera system and a performance-oriented suspension system coupled to rear-wheel or all-wheel drive.
Supercharged CTS-V launches into the UK
Posted by: | CommentsThe Media moguls at GM have been busy promoting the new CTS-V.
This car has a 6.2 liter v8 delivering a massive 564ps and a frightening amount of torque 747nm courtosy of the Eaton Supercharger.
This Propels the 0-60 time of approximately 3.9 seconds and carries on all the way to a whopping 191mph.
Also thankfully the Chassis and the suspension has been thouroughly roadtested in the Eifel Valley’s Nürburgring and holds the Production Saloon record of 7:59 in October 2008.
I look forward to seeing these on the Nordschleife in 2010 priced from £56,495 on-the-road and an extra £2000 for the Automatic gearbox.
