2014 Cadillac CTS debuts new design, twin-turbo power, Vsport model [New York Auto Show]

The new 2014 Cadillac CTS already know thanks to the official photos that General Motors sent us a couple of days ago, but seeing it live was to judge in person. Last night we had that opportunity in the lobby of the New York Auto Show.

What do we think? Much more car than the current 2014 Cadillac CTS and aged. In fact, nothing to see live the new generation, which now is at the dealers is “outdated”. The front “to ATS,” he is more interesting and developed than today, being much lower and dynamic, but the rear still see the very American and mazacote.

Is longer, has more battle, and is lower, which improves the visual proportions. And despite growing in length, the new 2014 Cadillac CTS thins about 100 kilos over the current model, and staying in line with its German rivals in that aspect.

Their initial engine range will be built on a V6 gasoline sobrelaimentado 3 6 liters and 420 horsepower, supplemented in the range with a two-liter 272 hp (you will sound the Astra GTC OPC ) and a variant of 321 hp V6 atmospheric gas thereof.

Gearboxes are automatic torque converter with six speeds for the four cylinder engine, and eight for six. Cadillac also reports that we can not expect a manual or dual clutch, it is not in your to-do list for this model.

Obviously, if kids want to aspire to General Motors sales colonize this side of the pond, will have tasks include that of a diesel engine, but so far we know nothing about this topic.

The dashboard is new, but follow the guidelines known as General Motors for the current design, with a display box acting as a watch, and well integrated multimedia CUE. Finishes and materials have nothing to envy to a BMW 5 Series, though, what can I count, we still prefer the German model.

We will have to wait for the CTS-V variant to see if the U.S. is able to let us with his mouth open.
