Update: Many more photos in the CTS Coupe Image Gallery
In a surprise last minute move, Cadillac has added one more item to their list of debuts at Detroit…the CTS Coupe concept.
 Obviously based on the CTS sedan, the coupe concept has a low roof 4-inches lower than the sedan.
The coupe is powered by Cadillac’s 2.9l diesel V-6 that will be familiar to followers of Cadillac in Europe and, due to recent CAFE changes, likely to be part of the US Cadillac powertrain lineup as well.
The concept rides on 20” front wheels and 21” rear with unique sheetmetal all around and a lower ride height.
Expect a production coupe with very similar styling to debut in a few months.
