Right-Hand Drive Cadillac CTS
The all-new Cadillac CTS luxury sports saloon, which arrives in the UK showrooms this September, features technical innovations throughout, dramatic exterior styling and a hand-crafted lavishly equipped interior.
Power is provided by world-class 2.8 or 3.6 litre V6 petrol engines mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with manual mode. An advanced 2.9 litre V6 diesel engine will join the line-up in 2009. Prices for this bold contender start from just £26,995 for the 2.8 V6 and rise to just £32,995 for the 3.6 V6.
Luxury comes as standard on the new CTS, which comes with a single ‘Sport Luxury’ specification that exhibits a class-leading level of standard equipment. As a result of the impressive standard equipment level the only optional choices needed are exterior paint finish, the ‘Ultra View’ sunroof and the Sapele Pommele wood finish to the interior.
Offering stunning road presence, a luxurious fully-appointed interior and an exceptional driving experience, the new Cadillac CTS is a symbol for a new generation of drivers who think outside the box.
CTS Coupe Concept
The CTS Coupe gives a strong indication of Cadillac’s future design language. The concept which extends the dramatic design of the award-winning CTS saloon features all-new sculpted bodywork aft of the front wings. The stunning vehicle has a profile unlike anything else on the road with fast-rake styling. The wheelbase is the same as the CTS, but the overall height is approximately 50 mm lower and the overall length is 50 mm shorter. Among the CTS Coupe Concept’s signature design cues are several elements that suggest the look of a carefully cut diamond, particularly at the rear. These elements are seen in everything from the chrome header above the rear number plate holder to the indents that comprise the basic form of the rear fascia.
Provoq Concept
This concept provides a look into Cadillac’s vision for the future of luxury transportation in the form of a hydrogen fuel cell crossover vehicle. Provoq continues GM’s commitment to displace petroleum use in vehicles through advanced technology. Using GM’s groundbreaking E-Flex propulsion system, Provoq combines the new fifth-generation fuel cell system and a lithium-ion battery to produce an electrically driven vehicle that uses no petrol and has no emissions other than water.
