“Cadillac’s elevation on the world stage is driven in great part by its advanced powertrain technology and the all-new 3.0L Twin Turbo powers past the traditional segment leaders with higher degrees of the performance and refinement their reputations were built on,” said Rich Bartlett, assistant chief engineer.
The 3.0L Twin Turbo is mated to a Hydra-Matic 8L90 eight-speed automatic transmission.
In addition to the new 3.0L, Cadillac has also announced a new naturally-aspirated 3.6L V6. The 3.6L will generate 335 horsepower and 284 lb-ft. of torque.
