The Cadillac CTS family will expand to include the Cadillac CTS Coupe, or 2-door CTS in January. The CTS-V Coupe is expected to premiere at the Los Angeles International Auto show.  The CTS Coupe Concept appeared in 2008.

The Coupe will likely be available with the 3L 260hp V6, a 3.6L DI 304 Hp V6, or in CTS-V Coupe form with the LSA Supercharged 6.2L V8 for 556 hp.  Other than being a 2-door CTS, it inherits all the luxury performance goodness of the CTS Sedan, or the CTS-V Sedan.  It is also possible that we will see new engines — Turbocharged DOHC V6’s in this car.

The CTS Coupe is the modern Cadillac Eldorado, or the 2011 Cadillac Eldorado — although Cadillac will certainly keep the name “CTS Coupe”.

Cadillac had the prototype CTS Coupe at the Montecello Motorclub for the CTS-V Challenge Event.

I hope this detail with “Cadillac” written in the legacy script on the brake calipers makes it to production.

CTS Coupe Rear

The rear of the Cadillac CTS Coupe looks great. It uses a sculpted center dual exhaust.

The side vent has the V-Series characteristic stainless steel mesh insert, probably only on the CTS-V Coupe.

BodybyFisher and I were at the Event together, and he shot these last few photos.  Thanks for sharing them on the forum and here on our Caddyinfo.com Cadillac Blog.

This is a shot with me posing in front of the prototype:

The Cadillac CTS Coupe 2-door promises to be very popular.  As I told the Cadillac Team, “You can’t get this one into production fast enough!”

Cadillac CTS Coupe Release Date:  Cadillac has not committed to a release date yet, but I am guessing the CTS coupe will be released in August/September 2010 as a 2011 model.
