Early Look: 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe

The count down has begun for the 2010 Detroit Auto Show, it’s just a few days away and we have already started getting information about the new editions that will be displayed here.

It is known that 2011 Cadillac CTS- V Coupe will be the show stopper. This new edition will be powered by a supercharged V8 engine which will deliver 556 horsepower and 551 pounds feet of torque similar to the CTS V sedan.

This edition boasts of moving from zero to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds. All auto buffs who can master launching with the six speed automatic or six speed manual  transmission with manual shift mode and paddle controls will be able to sprint in a few tenths of a  seconds lesser then  the original acceleration time.

It is noted that the CTS –V coupe is quite identical to its sedan sibling in major aspects. The only difference that was visibly noticeable is that the coupe’s rear track is wider by an inch than the sedan edition which would offer better handling to this edition. The coupe is also designed to be lighter in weight to offer maximum results.

The 2011 Cadillac CTS-V  is equipped with 19 inch alloy wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 summer tires and impressive Brembo brakes. They are also engineered with GM’s Magnetic Ride Control which offers a refined ride and handling.

It will also include luxury accessories like Recaro bucket seats with 14 way power adjustments up front, a 40 GB hard drive for music and maps, Bluetooth and USB connectivity and a satellite navigation system with pop up LCD screen.

The company plans to start production by this summer.  This exclusive edition will be stickered at $60,000 tag.
