Lutz: CTS-V Coupe Coming

While Bob Lutz dashed a lot of hopes about a RWD Chevrolet Caprice sedan, he did offer an important confirmation of new product for Cadillac. The CTS is one of the most impressive vehicles in it's segment, and the V-Series performance version has been billed as the world's most powerful performance sedan.

Until recently (and it isn't confirmed for certain as of yet) it has held the title for world's fastest production sedan around Germany's Nurburgring race track.

With variants of the CTS sedan complete, a coupe CTS is going on sale next year, after being shown at the Detroit Auto Show in concept form. With the incredible performance capabilities of the CTS-V sedan, why not extend that to the coupe as well? It deserves it! Despite the seemingly obvious answer to us, it wasn't certain whether or not the model would be brought to fruition.

For now at least (hopefully no backpedalling on this one...), Bob Lutz did confirm a V-Series model for the coupe. As for a V-Series wagon, it hasn't been, although he said it is something they would like to do if there was enough demand. I say make a V for all three! Then the CTS lineup would be nearly complete - save for a retractable hardtop convertible variant. I hope that's next, Cadillac really needs a new luxury convertible.
