Cadillac CT6 Release Date
By now, Cadillac fans have heard about the upcoming release of the all new CT6 — a technologically advanced, top-of-the-line (quite literally, it’ll come in at the top of the Cadillac line of vehicles) sedan that isn’t meant to replace any of the current Cadillac models, but rather to expand upward into a new level of performance and luxury for a brand already well-steeped in both those attributes. If you’re wanting additional details about his model or you’re wondering about the Cadillac CT6 release date, we’ll tell you everything we know so far, and you can definitely come back to our blog for future updates!
The CT6 will sit atop the line of current Cadillac sedans in production, including the CTS, ATS, and XTS. It’s going to be lighter than even the CTS – 53 pounds to be exact, in addition to being 8 inches longer – and aims to be the lightest in its class of high-end luxury sedans.
Another interesting piece of news that’s come regarding the Cadillac CT6 release is that it will be a plug-in hybrid that start with a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine that’s paired to an 8-speed transmission. Expected to get up into the 400-horsepower neighborhood, with estimates in the less than six-second 0-60 time, this will truly be a vehicle like none we’ve seen before.
Here’s something else we think sounds quite interesting: In a recent meeting the head of GM product development announced a new type of rear-view mirror called a “Thru-View” which will replace the traditional rear view mirror with stream video from the rear camera. This will help present a wider, less obstructed view of what’s behind you while you drive.
While we’re still not sure exactly when this model will come into production, we know that it’s well in the works and according to GM’s media site it’s expected to be released late next year (2015). Stay tuned to our blog and we’ll be sure to let you know as we get more news about the CT6!
