The all-new Cadillac CTS is one of GM’s most important new 2008 models. While we wait for the V-badged version of the CTS, Cadillac has revealed a stop gap model.
The interior and exterior of the CTS Sport concept have been pumped up and the horsepower has moved up for 4 horses to 304 thanks to a free flowing Corsa cat-back exhaust.
The exterior of the concept features a revised hood, new front and rear fascias, a new spoiler, and revised headlights. The interior features Recaro seats and carbon fiber trim.
The CTS Sport concept will be officially unveiled this week at the SEMA show in Las Vegas.
