Slated to arrive in Cadillac showrooms in the spring of 2010, the CTS Coupe is a new luxury sports coupe designed to become the centerpiece of the brands revised lineup. The Coupe joins the CTS Sport Sedan, the 556-hp CTS-V and new CTS Sport Wagon as the foundation of Cadillacs lineup. A high-performance V-Series edition of the Coupe will also be released in 2010.
The Coupe is a classic 2+2 layout bolstered with advanced technology, such as a rear-view camera system and a performance-oriented suspension system coupled to rear-wheel or all-wheel drive. The coupe has the same wheelbase as the CTS, but an overall height that is approximately two inches lower and an overall length that is two inches shorter.
Although it draws from its sport sedan sister, the CTS Coupe shares only the instrument panel, console, headlamps, front fenders and grille. Key design features includes classic hardtop styling, with no conventional B-pillar, touch-pad operation for the doors removes the need for conventional door handles, creating a technical, clean profile, a windshield laid at a faster angle (62.3 degrees) and a long, nearly horizontal back-glass area combine to create a sleek, aerodynamic look, sculpted lower front fascia with unique brake-cooling vents, diamond cut-style rear fascia with mesh lower grilles, center-outlet exhaust with twin dihedral-shaped tips that pass through the rear fascia, signature vertical lighting, highlighted with LED light pipes, and a rear spoiler integrated into the center high-mounted stop lamp.
The CTS Coupe extends Cadillacs emerging performance credentials. The CTS Coupes standard powertrain consists of a direct-injected 3.6L V-6 and six-speed manual transmission. Direct-injection technology delivers fuel more precisely to increase the efficiency of combustion, enabling more power while maintaining fuel economy and lowering emissions—including a 25-percent drop in cold-start hydrocarbon emissions.
The 3.6-liter engine is rated at 304 horsepower and offers EPA-estimated fuel economy of 27 mpg on the highway. It also runs on less expensive regular unleaded gasoline.
The powertrains performance is channeled through a chassis that delivers sports car performance without punishment. The hardware includes an independent short/long arm ( SLA) front suspension system, with hydraulic control arm front bushings; and a multi-link rear suspension mounted on a fully isolated subframe. Also included are four-wheel disc performance brakes, premium steering and limited-slip differential.
Two suspension-tuning levels are available: a Performance Package with 18-inch wheels and all-season tires (available in both RWD and AWD,) and the Summer Tire Performance Package, with 19-inch tires and wheels and a higher level of road holding capability. StabiliTrak, and the advanced electronic chassis control system, is standard.
The 304-hp 3.6L V-6 Direct Injection engine will be standard, equipped with a six-speed manual, featuring a revised clutch and dual-mass flywheel that offers better clutch pedal feel and improved engine isolation. A 6-speed automatic transmission with Driver Shift Control (and available steering wheel mounted shift buttons) is optional.
CTS Coupe blends handcrafted luxury with a contemporary, driver-focused interior that supports the cars high-performance capabilities. The interior includes hand-sewn accents covering the door, center storage console and instrument panel trim. 14-Way adjustable Recaro sport seats, previously exclusively offered on Cadillacs V-Series model, will be offered on all CTS Coupe models as an option.
