After showing the one-two punch of the ZR1 and CTS-V the general rolled this out. Personally I like it alot. > **[Detroit 2008: Cadillac CTS Coupe Concept proves 2 doors is better than 4](https://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/14/detroit-2008-cadillac-cts-coupe-concept-2-doors-is-better-than/)** > > UPDATE: ![http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/01/cts-coupe-concept-03.jpg](http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/01/cts-coupe-concept-03.jpg) ---

As of now it is the 3.6 V-6 255 hp. 0-60 in about 6.5, 1/4 mile just under 15 and traps low 90’s. Nothing special but not that slow. That may change though…the have been using that motor since 2004. ---

Actaully the top motor will be the direct injection 3.6L V6 pushing over 300Hp, and you’ll be able to get it attached to a 6 speed manual. Should be right up there with a G35 coupe or 335i. Good move on Cadillac’s part, all it would need after that would be the LSA out of the CTS-V. > The CT Coupe, of course, ascertains the sedan’s 3.6L V-6 engines, including the 304-horsepower (227 kW) Direct Injection power plant. The Coupe Concept also is designed for a new 2.9L turbo-diesel being developed for international markets. This new engine, tailored for use in the CTS, will deliver an estimated 250 horsepower (184 kW) and 406 lb.-ft. of torque (550 Nm). > > A six-speed manual transmission backs the engine, sending torque to an independently sprung rear axle. The CT Coupe’s sport-tuned suspension gives it a slightly lower ride height than a production CTS – a look enhanced by the car’s rakish shape and large, 20-inch front and 21-inch rear wheels. ---
