New Cadillac CTS Coupe priced starting at $38,990, CTS-V Coupe with 556 HP output begins at $62,990

General Motors announced this week that the new Cadillac CTS Coupe will have a sticker price starting at $38,990. Its more aggressive sibling, the CTS-V Coupe will be priced beginning at $62,990. The prices cover destination charge.

The CTS Coupe will be powered by a V6 3.6L engine with direct injection that can deliver 304 horsepower. This will be coupled with either a manual or automatic transmission with six speeds. Consumers will also have the option to get the vehicle as a rear wheel drive or an all wheel drive unit.

The Cadillac CTS Coupe will be offered in Performance and Summer Tire Performance suspension trims that feature 18-inch rims, and 19-inch wheels hugged by summer tires, respectively.

The CTS-V Coupe, on the other hand, will be using a supercharged V8 with a displacement of 6.2L that gives out a good 556 horsepower and a torque of 551 lb-ft. It will be linked with either a Tremec manual gearbox with six speeds or with a Hydra-matic automatic gearbox using paddle shifters. The CTS-V can go from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in just 3.9 seconds.

The CTS-V which is groomed to compete with the M3 also makes use of the Magnetic Ride Control technology by Cadillac. Instead of utilizing mechanical valves, the shocks are guided n the magneto-rheological system to improve response and maintain the luxury feel of the ride.

Both versions are expected to hit US dealerships by the early part of August this year.
