2009 CTS to get diesel V-6 (in Europe, at least)
March 7, 2007 - 1:27 pmWell, we knew that this was coming…but now GM has officially unveiled the first of its new line of diesel engines. This one is a 2.9l V-6 co-developed with Italy’s VM Motori and will make its first appearance in the 2009 CTS.
Of note is the output (250hp and 406lb*ft of torque – nope, that’s not a typo…400+ lb*ft) and the use of state-of-the-art technology that should give us in the States a good chance of seeing this or some related diesel engine in either a Cadillac (can you say ‘Escalade’) or at least some other GM products.
Expect to see some of these in car applications here if gas prices continue to rise.
Now for the press release:
