Cadillac CTS Coupe Concept. Dec 08

The CTS Coupe Concept, which was unveiled at the 2008 North American International Auto Show in January 2008, extends the dramatic design of its sedan predecessor to cast a striking road presence. Designed under the direction of Michael Simcoe, former head of GM Holden Design in Australia, the CTS Coupe concept possesses fast-rake styling blended with hand-sculpted bodywork to project a profile unlike anything else on the road.

Exuding the design cues of a carefully cut diamond, the CTS Coupe has classic Cadillac cues such as vertical headlamps and tail lamps to acknowledge the brand's heritage combined with a forward-looking design. The CTS Coupe has the same 3.6L V6 engine as the sedan, including the 227kW Direct Injection power plant, and has also been designed to take other engine variants. A six-speed manual transmission backs the engine and a sport-tuned suspension gives it a slightly lower ride height than a production CTS.
