The Cadillac CTS is a mid-size luxury car manufactured by the Cadillac division of General Motors.
The CTS is currently available in three body styles: 4-door sedan,
2-door coupe, and 5-door sport wagon. Cadillac introduced the CTS in
2002 as a sports sedan, succeeding the Cadillac Catera. The CTS and the supercharged CTS-V variant have been named to the Car and Driver 10 Best list for three consecutive years.
Wayne Cherry
and Kip Wasenko designed the exterior of the first generation CTS and
this vehicle marked the production debut of the "Art and Science" design language first seen on the Evoq concept car. Bob Boniface and Robin Krieg designed the exterior of the third generation CTS.
What's New for 2012
The
2012 Cadillac CTS gets an additional 12 horsepower, along with a
slightly revised grille, active front head restraints, standard
Bluetooth, an optional blind-spot warning system and an optional heated
steering wheel.
Introduction
The
2012 Cadillac CTS Coupe grabs your attention like few cars can. It's
muscular, edgy, aggressive and in your face. Yet there's still refined
sophistication thanks to its chrome trim, classy interior and
unmistakable Cadillac design cues. Now, this is usually where we'd say,
"It's more than just a pretty face." But the truth is, the CTS Coupe
suffers for its good looks. There are significant functional trade-offs
even compared to other luxury coupes, and the CTS's performance isn't
as lively as you'd think.

At the 2008 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, General Motors unveiled a coupe
concept version of the CTS, alongside the new CTS-V performance sedan.
The coupe's unveiling surprised the media and general public, stealing a
great deal of attention away from the CTS-V. In November 2009, the
production version was unveiled in a press release. The coupe went into
production in spring 2010 for sale in August 2010 as a 2011 model.
The design of the production model is very similar to the concept, with
the B-pillars still removed. The standard engine will be a 3.6L direct
injected V6 rated at 304 hp. Like the sedan, both six-speed manual and
automatic transmissions, in either RWD or AWD configurations, will be
available. A CTS-V Coupe has also been confirmed, and was shown at the
2010 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The CTS Coupe will be Cadillac's first coupe since the Eldorado, which was discontinued in 2002.
