NEW STRIKING CADILLAC CTS Coupé 2011

AMAZING CADILLAC CTS......

The striking appearance by CTS itself is a real head turner. If he got well, is of course subjective, but he looks nice anyway thick. With its high hunched shoulders and sharp nose, the CTS Coupe undeniably something menacing, here is one serious car. Pull the large door and you find an interior that is largely known from the less exciting Sedan and Wagon. Cute details include buttons to open your doors, no handles but a sort of clumsy X-BOX buttons.

Apart from the aforementioned CTS-V, CTS Coupe you as a potential driver do not have much choice. The only engine is a 3.6-liter V6 that yields 311 horsepower. On demand can drive the rear wheels via a manual six-speed gearbox or an automatic with the same object. Four wheel drive is also possible, then you, insist on a machine.

 

Slightly more

We drove the rear wheel drive version with automatic transmission and the latter do not really excite. As we previously encountered in the Wagon, the transmission on the slow side, and he do not always agree with the driver to choose the opposition. Fortunately, you can toggle with little driving game. About the engine a lot better, this is a powerful and civilized machine during normal driving quietly in the background and a nice roar at full load-performer.

Because we have already driven the CTS Wagon is driving us familiar. By a wide tread sends Coupe just tighter. On the road holding is not the one who is like the Wagon and Sedan in good order, but do you expect from a little more spectacular-looking model. By the light steering is also still a large piece lost feeling with the car. You can best hard corners with the Coupe, but the real pleasure remains unfortunately a bit. Still, the CTS Coupe is anything but a disappointment.

 

PRICE .

By its job properly calculated base is quiet touring something which the CTS Coupe is excellent. Small downside is the pricing. Want one, and then you should take a minimum of € 79.600. Want a gearbox, then you lose everything because of the higher emission begins only at the price of € 84.210. Then even the version 4-wheel driving and cheaper machine, which costs € 82.630. There is something in return in terms of equipment. Leather upholstery, navigation system, electric seats, xenon lights and keyless entry is standard. Want to join the competition such an equipped car than you lose at least the same amount. But a price range is certainly not the CTS Coupe.

Earlier, we drove all the top version of the CTS line, the CTS-V. But for whom anything that is too much, fortunately, Cadillac also a less wealthy special-lined version of the Coupé. And that's actually pretty good.

Project Kahn is developing an even more extreme version dubbed the RS600 Super Sport.

Previewed here today in this official rendering, the new Range Rover Sport RS600 Super Sport is expected to be released in the very near future.

It wasn’t that long ago that we first herd a report that LAND ROVER is working on supercharged Range Rover Sport’s Project Kahn’s RS600 package.

Starting with a custom exhaust system tuned for a powerful yet refined sound,

the RS600 treatment tweaks the SUV's engine to deliver a supercar-like 600 horsepower.

Now, with the help of the tuning experts at Motorsport legend COSWORTH.

No other details have been released but expect the new model to get the aggressive look of previous creations, including oversized wheels, aerodynamic body kits and plenty of chrome accessories.

If the RS600 and more extreme RS600 Super Sport seem just a tad over the top, however, Project Kahn is also working on a custom package for the new Range Rover Evoque, which we reported on earlier.
