Cadillac introduces their new twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 engine, will debut in the CT6
Produces approximately 400 bhp (298 kW) and 400 lb-ft (543 Nm) of torque
Cadillac has introduced their new twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 engine.

Set to debut in the 2016 CT6, the engine produces approximately 400 bhp (298 kW) and 400 lb-ft (543 Nm) of torque. It will be connected exclusively to an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Cadillac says the engine is one of the "most power-dense V-6 DOHC engines in the world" as it produces 133 bhp (99 kW) per liter. The company went on to say engine is far more powerful than the supercharged 3.0-liter V6 that resides in the Audi A7 as well as the twin-turbo 3.0-liter engine that powers the BMW 740Li.

Besides offering V8 levels of performance, the engine has start/stop technology and a cylinder deactivation system which temporarily deactivates two cylinders when maximum performance isn't required. Cadillac says this should improve fuel efficiency approximately six percent.

The twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 engine will go into production later this year at the Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant in Michigan. It will eventually be followed by a "new version" of the company's naturally aspirated 3.6-liter V6.

Cadillac CT6 to be offered with a 34 speaker Bose audio system

Debuts in New York
Cadillac has announced the 2016 CT6 will be offered with the "most advanced and highest-performing automotive sound system" ever developed by Bose.

Designed specifically for the range-topping model, the Bose Panaray sound system has 34 speakers that are strategically positioned throughout the interior. The system also uses the company's proprietary digital signal processing technology to deliver "more clarity, precision and deep bass than any system preceding it."

According to Cadillac CT6 executive chief engineer Travis Hester, "Cadillac CT6 customers will be elated by what they hear and feel when they switch on the Bose Panaray system.” He also stated the system will deliver an "audio experience unmatched in any other luxury automobile."

So the moniker "CT6" is confirmed for a longer time I want to submit if a Mod could change the title of this thread.
Thanks in advance!

Another question in referred to titles: would it be possible that an user who created a thread get the possibility to change the title about the whole time a thread is open?
Or would this be involved with disadvantages in any way?

That's....that's alot of speakers.

The only thing I can make out from the "interior pic" is that the seat controls are on the door, a la M-B.

I hope they have looked at the ergonomics , Cadillac have some of the worst .The switchgear on the console difficult to operate as although you touch it sometimes you have to make sure you have touched it properly because of the delay.

Too much tease is 110% guarantee of disappointment.

This car will fail.

Looks better than the current Germans. I can only imagine how good the ct8 will be. A true flagship.

Here we go)

I'm trying to figure out if the tail lamp on the right side is not flush with the body or if it's just the angle of the picture.

Now that's a proper look without all the random edges they were so found of.

It's not the best photo I guess. Let's wait.
