Sources are saying the 2016 Cadillac CTS-V will have either a twin-turbo charged V8 engine from the C6 Corvette Z06, or a version of the 4.5L twin-turbo charged V8 engine that made an appearance under the hood of the Cadillac Elmiraj concept.

Either way, those intercoolers behind the front grille are a good indication that whatever engine it will be - it's going to be twin-turbo charged. Check out the photos below:

Not impressed, I'll keep my Gen 2 CTS-V!


 
Looks like a D3 style vented hood.

Too bad no more V coupes - heard they aren't taking any more orders for the last V coupe model year.

The new design needs to grow on me & it hasn't yet. Then again, I really didn't like the coupe's big rear when it first came out, then it grew on me enough I got one! :cool:
 
You can get the special edition Gen 2 2015 CTS-V Coupe. They are building 500.

I know ... tempting ... think the status of my driver's license will be safer with my base coupe! (though that's fully capable of getting me in trouble too!)
 
Just have Mike follow you, they always get the second car!
