Motor Show: Cadillac CTS Coupe Concept

Cadillac CTS Coupe Concept will arrive in right-hand drive in 2009

---

This is the new Cadillac CTS Coupe Concept and a right-hand drive version will be arriving in the UK next year. Cadillac told PistonHeads that the production car will be more than 90% the same as the concept and should look almost identical.

The CTS saloon comes fully specced with only three options of metallic paint, sunroof and wood trim and the coupe will be the same. There is no word yet of a high performance 'V' version but an insider said that nothing has been ruled out.

The CTS Coupe will have aroud 310bhp from a 3.6-litre direct-injection V6 and there may be a 2.9-litre diesel V6 with 250bhp. The equivalent four-door CTS will cost £26,995 in the UK so there is a good chance the coupe will come in around the 30K mark.

Ugly as sin and I quite like it!

[ZesPak]

I saw the front and was like: oh, that looks a bit like a current mercedes (not bad).

... then came the rear 3/4 view

[J16GY]

Whats the car equivalent for a BOBFOC in reverse!?!?

A car that looks like that needs a V8. Can't wait to sse one on UK roads.

[Fotofrog]

Its P*I*M*P ...

I think all those gangsters out their should get their cheque books ready...

Ugly as hell but i think i like it ....

[Bizzle]

I bloody love the CTS. It's awsome.

[Magners P.H]

I do like that, it is vulgar yet good looking and interesting.

Just hope they do not make it to a limited budget (e.g. an interior made from recycled Peti Filou pots)

Well no actually, it probably doesn't. The 3.6 gives 311ps compared to 325ps from the 4.6 V8.
It sounds good too.
The V8 is much more torquey though and from a lot lower down the rev range.

'Ugly' is a bit strong... it has a very defined look..... love it and want one

[VladD]

There's only 2 seats, but you can stand your children in the boot.

[timewatch]

Fabulous looking car !

No doubt it will be in the usual boring colours of Silver, Metallic Black & another derivative of Sliver ?

Probably designed by a team of mostly Brits, a friend of mine is designing for Cadillac.

No, I think that award goes to the E21 3 series

Strange how some people find it ugly, I really quite like the angular design.

Have to agree with you there. I really don't like the looks of that.

[Kawasicki]
