2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe has been launched by Cadillac Manufature , the last and most dramatic series of brand new models to reach production. Arriving in dealerships in August 2010 Cadillac CTS Coupe is a new luxury sports coupe designed in the middle of the line-up for the review of the brand.

Don Butler, Vice President – Cadillac Marketing said “CTS Coupe is the new focal point of Cadillac, expressing both our design and technical capabilities,”  and “It is intended to appeal to a new generation of car enthusiasts.”

 

The CTS Coupe emerged as a proposal inside Cadillac’s dedicated design studio, where designers develop and evolve the brand’s Art and Science design philosophy. It is powered by a 3.6L direct injected V-6 rated at 304 horsepower (227 kW). The high-performance CTS-V Coupe receives the same, 556-horsepower (415 kW) 6.2L supercharged V-8 found in the landmark CTS-V Sport Sedan.

2011 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe supercharged V8 that makes 556 horsepower. It comes with a six-speed manual transmission as standard equipment. It’s under $65,000. Not only that, but the larger cojones found on the V sedan are translated into the coupe’s styling, making for a car that’s at once audacious and vicious, with a beating heart of total lunacy.

Overall exterior Cadillac CTS-V dimensions are exactly the same as the base coupe, but the V-specific styling cues, namely the bulgier hood, sharper front grille, larger fog-light surrounds and the exposed dual pipes of the exhaust, define the strong character lines and overall shape.

2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe

The all-new 2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe, the ultimate expression of Cadillac’s commitment to performance driving and dramatic design. Sculpted exterior lines that borrow from no one. A 304hp direct injection V6 for more power and reduced emissions compared to engines without this technology. 6-speed automatic or available 6-speed manual transmission. Wide-stance performance suspension that brings sports car verve. A meticulously crafted interior focused squarely on the driver. Available in either standard rear- or optional all-wheel drive. This is a luxury sport coupe like no other.

The driver-centric cabin abounds in high-tech amenities. Available Bluetooth® phone connectivity, Bose® 5.1 surround sound with iPod1 integration and hard drive for music storage, and glide-up touch screen navigation. Standard OnStar2 one-year Directions & Connections Plan with available Destination Download, eNav and a 3-month trial of XM Radio. Finishing details include push-button door release, and available ambient lighting and heated steering wheel.

The all-new CTS-V Coupe is a boldly styled driving enthusiast’s dream car. Huge power leaps from a 556hp supercharged 6.2L V8. Performance handling is assured by a Nürburgring®-tuned suspension, independent at all wheels, with revolutionary dual-mode Magnetic Ride Control shock damping. And 19" wheels with Brembo® disc brakes – 6-piston in front, 4-piston in rear – bring massive stopping power. Xenon HID headlamps with Adaptive Forward Lighting lead the way no matter where the road takes you.

The CTS-V Coupe cockpit is as much about control as it is about driver engagement. There’s luxury and refinement enough to satisfy pleasure-seekers, but the real function of this cabin is guiding a very powerful machine. LED-traced gauges that flash as redline is approached, full dash instrumentation and a TREMEC® 6-speed manual shifter put the driver in control of this performance command center.

Cadillac to Launch 5 New Models Including BMW 3-Series Rival and CTS-V Coupe by 2011

Cadillac to Launch 5 New Models Including BMW 3-Series Rival and CTS-V Coupe by 2011

GM President and CEO Fritz Henderson confirmed today that Cadillac is developing five new models through 2011 including an entry-level luxury sports sedan that will compete against the BMW 3-Series and Audi A4 sedans in the segment below the CTS. The announcement was part of a general relaunch of GM that will present a total of 25 new models from now until the end of 2011.

Back to Cadillac's 3-Series rival, GM said that the new sedan that will be offered with high-tech engines, rear-wheel drive and optional all-wheel drive will take on the best in the segment.

"We are determined to repeat what CTS has already achieved in design, quality, driving dynamics, performance and fuel economy to grow our presence in this high-volume and highly competitive segment," Henderson said.

Aside from the new entry level sedan and the already revealed SRX compact crossover and the CTS Sport Wagon, Henderson confirmed that the firm will introduce the production version of the CTS Coupe concept which will be offered in a "V" guise boasting the same 556HP 6.2-liter supercharged V8 as the CTS-V Sedan.

Automotive News also reported that Cadillac's plans include a common replacement for the flagship rear-wheel drive STS and front-wheel drive DTS models that will share its underpinnings with the Buick LaCrosse and be offered with all-wheel drive. For the record, GM did not disclose any details on this vehicle.
