2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe Heads for 2009 Los Angeles Auto Show




LOS ANGELES — Cadillac today unveiled its 2011 CTS Coupe in production form, a week prior to the car's official debut at the 2009 Los Angeles Auto Show. The CTS Coupe, first seen as a concept at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show, rounds out the CTS line-up that now includes a sedan, sport wagon, and a performance-oriented V-Series sedan.

The 2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe will arrive in dealerships in spring of 2010, and Cadillac confirms a V-Series edition of the coupe will be released later the same year.

"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."

Powering the 2011 CTS Coupe is the same 304-horsepower 3.6-liter used in the other CTS models, but unlike the sedan and wagon, the rear-wheel-drive CTS Coupe comes standard with a six-speed manual transmission. A six-speed automatic is optional as is all-wheel drive. The 2+2 coupe rides on the same wheelbase as the CTS sedan, but measures nearly two inches lower and two inches shorter than the sedan. Cadillac says the CTS Coupe shares only the instrument panel, console, headlamps, front fenders and grille with the five-passenger sedan.
