2011 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe – Click above for high-res ikon gallery
Back in 2008, Cadillac threw downbound the gloves against its Teutonic competitors in an attempt to exhibit that it could physique the prizewinning high action mid-sized wealth sedan. The termination was the CTS-V. Even if the past CTS-V Challenge proved to be somewhat inferior than official in establishing the underway car's dominance, it did exhibit soured its capabilities. Now Cadillac is expanding its CTS-V arrange by adding every of the V goodness to the coupe bodystyle that was revealed terminal month at the LA Auto Show.
The CTS-V coupe will debut at the city Auto Show incoming week with everything that makes the CTS-V digit our activity super-sedans, albeit in a sexy newborn two-door shell. Aside from the sleek still thick-of-beltline newborn suit, the inner another actual disagreement from the existing V is the one-inch wider agency at the side axle, which haw or haw not be noticeable when driving, and a marginally modify mass. The 556-horsepower emotional LSA V8 engine and the pick of a drill or semiautomatic six-speed casing carries over. We highly recommend that anyone considering a V disregarding of bodystyle check the pick box for the Recaro seats, they are worth every penny.
Carryover or not, we can't wait for a crack at the V coupe this summer. Now if inner Cadillac would rushing up and physique a V-wagon.

Art And Science: Cadillac Premieres 2011 CTS-V Coupe
New CTS Coupe organisation combines with V-Series performance 556-hp (415-kW) emotional 6.2L V-8 Six-speed drill or six-speed semiautomatic with beat agitate control Magnetic Ride Control and Brembo brakes New Saffron inland cut accent color On understanding in primeval summer DETROIT – Cadillac today announced the 2011 CTS-V Coupe, which debuts at the 2010 North dweller International Auto Show in Detroit. It combines the newborn CTS Coupe's hammy organisation with the 556-horsepower (415-kW) emotional V-8 engine from the CTS-V sedan. The termination is a wealth sports coupe aimed at dynamical enthusiasts.
"The CTS-V Coupe marries our most multipotent and worldly profession with our most hammy production design," said politico Nesbitt, Cadillac generalized manager. "This compounding of seeable and theoretical attributes is designed to create a rattling compelling pick for wealth sports automobile consumers."
The CTS-V Coupe begins production this summer. Its suite of theoretical and action elements includes Magnetic Ride Control, racing-bred Brembo brushwood and an available semiautomatic sending with paddle-shift control.
The V-Series Coupe includes a unequalled frame that doubles the car's expose intake volume, an essential enabler for its high-performance capabilities. It is also visually identified by a upraised edifice country of the cowl that provides clearance for the supercharger, as well as specific face and side fascias. Like the CTS Coupe, its wear is centralised inner the side fascia, but with unequalled twin outlets. The automobile rolls on 19-inch patch aluminum wheels, available in either varnished or lustrous finishes, and Michelin Pilot Sport 2 action tires.
The CTS-V Coupe's side agency is nearly an progress wider than the CTS-V Sport Sedan, adding to the car's battleful attitude and sanctioning an player manoeuvre of direction capability. The underway CTS-V Sport Sedan has quickly ingrained itself among the world's highest performing wealth sedans, becoming the first production four-door on street tires to fortuity the legendary 8-minute obstruction at Germany's notable Nürburgring. The newborn V-Series Coupe's sleeker appearance and slightly modify accumulation secure a similarly high take of performance.
Inside, the 2+2 cabin combines action and luxury. A newborn Saffron inland cut colouration is offered, with different microfiber centre inserts and handicraft on the bunk cut areas.
Form follows function
The CTS-V Coupe's organisation is a country seeable evidence of the theoretical exactitude and action intent of the car.
The Coupe has the same wheelbase as the CTS-V Sport Sedan, but its coverall height is about digit inches (51 mm) modify and its coverall length is digit inches (51 mm) shorter. The digit models share inner the helper panel, console, headlamps, face fenders and grille.
Key organisation features include:
* Classic hardtop styling, with no customary B-pillar
* Touch-pad operation for the doors removes the need for customary entranceway handles
* Faster concealment seek (62.3 degrees) and a nearly flat backglass enable an aerodynamic profile
* Signature vertical lighting, highlighted with LED reddened pipes
* Signature edifice high-mounted stop lamp functions as a side spoiler
* Aerodynamic roof-mounted sensitiveness for OnStar and XM Satellite Radio
Supercharged powertrain
The CTS-V Coupe employs the LSA 6.2L emotional V-8 engine also found on the CTS-V Sport Sedan. Rated at 556 horsepower (415 kW) and 551 lb.-ft. of force (747 Nm), it is the most coercive engine offered in Cadillac's history and propels the CTS-V Coupe from 0-60 indication in 3.9 seconds.
The LSA engine features an intercooled Eaton supercharger system, payment aluminum-alloy cylinder heads and numerous info designed to secure it makes its noesis as quietly and smoothly as possible. The supercharger, for example, has a unique, four-lobe armature organisation that enhances quietness patch also optimizing the action parameters of the engine.
A pair of six-speed transmissions is offered in the CTS-V Coupe: a Tremec TR6060 six-speed drill with a dual-disc aggregation and a Hydra-Matic 6L90 six-speed semiautomatic with paddle-shift control. Performance Algorithm Shifting is conception of the 6L90's programming and provides a performance-oriented agitate pattern during uninterrupted high-performance driving. As with some Cadillac models, the utility needs inner to slide the stagehand into the drill "gate" to put the sending into that more battleful mode.
The beat agitate curb requires no agitate tumbler movement. Steering rotate moulding controls earmark unmediated and hurried contact up/tap downbound gear selection.
Magnetic Ride Control
The V-Series reaches selected levels of road-holding performance, but also maintains the poise of a wealth automobile in "regular" dynamical conditions. The theoretical enabler of that dual-mode dynamical character is Cadillac's landmark Magnetic Ride Control. It is accepted on the CTS-V Coupe and is the world's fastest-reacting hold technology. It uses shocks controlled by advanced magneto-rheological technology, rather than mechanical valves, to greatly qualify salutation instance and precision.
Electronic sensors at every quaternary wheels literally "read the road" every millisecond, making constant adjustments to damping to create virtually fast and extremely fine curb of body motions. This is of portion goodness for a high-performance automobile because it helps keep the automobile rattling imperturbable during hornlike cornering, acceleration, braking and another impulsive maneuvers.
The Magnetic Ride shocks also enable a broader arrange of damping curb to optimize the mate and direction for every dynamical conditions. In the CTS-V Coupe, an player manoeuvre of curb is offered, with digit selectable modes (Tour and Sport), sanctioning the utility to accommodate the hold for noble touring or more alive action driving.
Braking and tire systems
CTS-V includes worldly braking and tire systems, in partnership with digit companies renowned for high-performance technology: Brembo and Michelin. Brembo brushwood are at every quaternary corners and allow powerful, six-piston callipers in the face and four-piston callipers in the rear.
Slotted and vented rotors enable brawny initial braking force patch optimizing modify resistance and eliminating fade. The brushwood rotors from Brembo state a "dual-cast" profession that combines patch iron and aluminum, resulting in excellent action and weight reduction. CTS-V also includes an electric parking brake, sanctioning more legroom for the driver, key for high-performance driving.
Michelin partnered with Cadillac engineers to amend its acclaimed Pilot Sport PS2 season tire for CTS-V and its inner 19-inch impureness wheels. The tires hold high levels of appendage in agency conditions, patch also affording good action on the road.
Interior amenities
Recaro action dynamical seats are nonmandatory in the CTS-V Coupe and wage excellent hold for alive driving. These 14-way adjustable action seats allow pneumatic reenforce controls in the centre cushions and backrests.
The CTS-V Coupe also includes an inner newborn Saffron colouration pick for the interior, providing a different colouration accent carried on the centre inserts, as well as the stitching, which highlights the accomplishment of the helper panel, edifice console, entranceway cut and seats.
The control wheel, centre inserts and stagehand are covered in microfiber, providing the luxurious character of suede without suede's inexplicit drawbacks of difficult tending and moisture sensitivity. These accents are standard, foppish to the contact and help hold high-performance driving.
The car's integrated edifice arrange is clipped in Obsidian black touchable that is also applied to the edifice housing and entranceway trim. Just like every CTS, the V-Series includes a hand-stitched helper panel, entranceway cut and edifice console. Leading-edge infotainment features modify to the V-Series. They allow a 40-gigabyte hornlike drive, advanced navigation grouping with a deployable concealment and Bose digital surround audio, as well as factory-installed Bluetooth sound integration, every accepted features on the V-Series.
