ART AND SCIENCE: CADILLAC PREMIERES 2011 CTS-V COUPE
- New CTS Coupe design combines with V-Series performance
- 556-hp (415-kW) supercharged 6.2L V-8
- Six-speed manual or six-speed automatic with paddle shift control
- Magnetic Ride Control and Brembo brakes
- New Saffron interior trim accent color
- On sale in early summer
DETROIT – Cadillac today announced the 2011 CTS-V Coupe, which debuts at the
2010 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. It combines the new CTS
Coupe's dramatic design with the 556-horsepower (415-kW) supercharged V-8 engine
from the CTS-V sedan. The result is a luxury sports coupe aimed at driving enthusiasts.
"The CTS-V Coupe marries our most potent and sophisticated technology with our most
dramatic production design," said Bryan Nesbitt, Cadillac general manager. "This
combination of visual and technical attributes is designed to create a very compelling
choice for luxury sports car consumers."
The CTS-V Coupe begins production this summer. Its suite of technical and
performance elements includes Magnetic Ride Control, racing-bred Brembo brakes and
an available automatic transmission with paddle-shift control.
The V-Series Coupe includes a unique grille that doubles the car's air intake volume, an
important enabler for its high-performance capabilities. It is also visually identified by a
raised center section of the hood that provides clearance for the supercharger, as well
as specific front and rear fascias. Like the CTS Coupe, its exhaust is centered inside the
rear fascia, but with unique twin outlets. The car rolls on 19-inch cast aluminum wheels,
available in either painted or polished finishes, and Michelin Pilot Sport 2 performance
tires.
The CTS-V Coupe's rear track is nearly an inch wider than the CTS-V Sport Sedan,
adding to the car's aggressive stance and enabling an extra measure of handling
capability. The current CTS-V Sport Sedan has quickly established itself among the
world's highest performing luxury sedans, becoming the first production four-door on
street tires to break the legendary 8-minute barrier at Germany's famed Nürburgring.
The new V-Series Coupe's sleeker shape and slightly lower mass ensure a similarly high
level of performance.
