2010 Cadillac CTS Coupe officially unveiled
The Cadillac CTS Coupe was first shown as a concept at an auto show some time ago. The production version of the 2-door CTS has now been unveiled, and it looks pretty much the same as the big-assed show car.
The coupe the most visually distinct CTS, sharing only its instrument panel, console, headlamps, front fenders and grille with the sedan. Though its wheelbase is the same as the four-door’s, the coupe sits two inches lower and stretches two inches less from tip to tail. The best touches are the hidden B-pillar, flush door handles, center-mounted dual exhaust, and heavily-raked windshield and rear glass.
While the exterior screams excitement, the coupe’s mechanicals are what we’ve come to expect from the CTS, which ain’t a bad thing. The standard engine at launch will be General Motors’ direct-injection 3.6L V6 producing 304 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque, paired with GM’s optional Hydra-Matic 6L50 six-speed automatic or a standard Aisin six-speed manual.
Both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive are available, as are two handling packages, namely a Performance package with 18-inch wheels and a Summer Tire Performance package with 19-inch wheels, summer tires and larger brakes.
Cadillac also confirmed that a CTS-V variant will be sold sometime 2010.
