The Chicago CTS is going to be hotter and faster!  The CTS-V coupe was named one of the top 6 autos that is worth waiting for by CNN Money.  This newest Cadillac model was unveiled in L.A. at their November auto show.  There is a lot to say about this model!

The CTS-V coupe will share some of the same features as the V-series sedan.  For example, it will have the supercharged v8 engine that gives 556 hp.  Wow, makes me wanna test drive one right now!  Also, two 6 speed transmissions will be available:   The Tremec TR6060 manual that has a dual disc clutch, or the Hydra-Matic 6L90.  The Hydra-Matic  is automatic and has paddle shifters.  Like the Chicago Escalade, this sounds like another great luxury car produced by GM!

The CTS-V Coupe will have some exterior features that the sedan does not.  The coupe will be a 2-door, somewhat sportier looking model.  Of all the Chicago CTS cars, it has the wider of the rear tracks, one inch to be exact…This is a feature that one may or may not notice, but it’s mentioned several times as being an important feature that makes it coupe-like.  Length wise, it will be about 2 inches shorter than the sedan.  The Chicago CTS will be without B-pillars and traditional door handles.  Instead of the handles, the V-coupe has touch pads that give it a clean look.

Inside the CTS coupe, Cadillac has placed some great amenities.  For example, the leather interior has some hand stitched trim on the door, center console and instrument panel.  Talk about high quality!  Technology wise, The coupe comes with Bose sound system, ipod connectivity, pop-up navigation system and more!  These are features that are also found on other Chicago CTS cars.

It sounds like the Cadillac CTS-V coupe will be a welcome addition to the lineup of Cadillac cars.  I can’t wait to see it parked next to the Chicago Escalade later this year!
