2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe.

Cadillac introduced the CTS to the world in 2003, and since then the standard sedan and its V variant have been completely reworked, while the Art and Science design language have carried over to a pair new body styles: the CTS Coupe and CTS Sport Wagon.  While the wagon adds an excellent dose of utility, the 2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe represents the purest expression of Art and Science to date.
The Coupe’s design is further proof that math is beautiful, with enough hard edges and creased angles coming together to make Euclid proud. Step back and the entire shape creates an elegant solution to a complex equation. Solve for X and you get one of the strongest styling statements from Cadillac in nearly 50 years.
But is Art and Science enough to compete with the tried and true champs of the luxury sports coupe segment? Class is in session, so open your Trapper Keepers, grab a pencil and pay attention.

CTS News.

VP Biden loves Cadillac CTS-V, regrets Secret Service won’t let him drive his Corvette. Vice President Joe Biden has held plenty of high-profile jobs in his lifetime, but at his core, he’s a lot like any of us. That’s because he’s a die-hard auto enthusiast with a list of cars to back up his love of the auto.
Car and Driver recently sat down with the VP to talk cars, and it turns out that the life-long politician knows more than a thing or two about autos. Biden, the son of a car salesman, still owns a Goodwood-green 1967 Corvette 327 that he appears to be quite fond of. Unfortunately, the Secret Service won’t let him drive that dreamy Vette; something that Biden says he hates about his job. The VP also talks about his brother’s CTS-V, of which he says he jumped in and laid down some serious rubber while in his driveway. Sounds like something we would do if we had a 1,700-foot driveway.
Biden went on to defend the bailout of GM and Chrysler, and talked up Uncle Sam’s $2 billion in battery technology investments. In fact, Biden claims that in 10 years, batteries will be able to propel a vehicle for 1,000 miles, while weighing as little as a tenth of today’s lithium ion batteries. Sounds good to us. Head over to C/D to read the entire interview. Interesting stuff.

2011 Cadillac CTS.

The 2011 Cadillac CTS ranks 4 out of 21 Upscale Midsize Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of 47 published reviews and test drives of the Cadillac CTS, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.
In recent years, the American automotive industry battled its fair share of ups and downs. While it’s clear that General Motors’ bankruptcy is a “down,” Cadillac’s resurgence as a player in the industry is undoubtedly an “up.” The leader of this change? The Cadillac CTS.
For reviewers, there is not much to dislike about the 2011 Cadillac CTS. It is a stylish performer that captivates and coddles its driver. This artful balance is what continues to earn the CTS praise and keep it at the top of its class. However, it still has some shortcomings.
The CTS’ standard front seats earn mixed reviews. While some say they lack support for a vehicle with its sporting intentions, others say they are just right. Still, for 2011 Cadillac adds an expensive, optional pair of sport seats that are found on its performance model, the CTS-V. If you are shopping for a CTS, it is a good idea to test drive cars with both seats to see which fit you the best.
The big news for 2011 is the addition of the CTS Coupe to the product range. Although its looks are largely considered polarizing, Automobile Magazine says the CTS Coupe “looks like a concept car that took a wrong turn leaving the convention center, but in fact, it’s an entirely logical and even conservative progression based on Cadillac’s most successful vehicle, the CTS.”

Cadillac CTS Sport Sedan.

The Cadillac CTS is the cornerstone of the Cadillac product lineup and continues to play a vital role in the renaissance of the brand. The BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class are the primary competitors for the CTS.
The CTS family grows in 2011 to include the CTS Coupe, in addition to the CTS Sport Wagon body style added in 2010 – including supercharged V-Series variants for all models. Please see the separate releases for detailed information on the CTS Coupe and CTS Sport Wagon.
The Cadillac CTS Sport Sedan’s signature exterior cues include vertically oriented ‘light pipes,’ horizontal spline lines and a dihedral-shaped hood – characteristic elements of Cadillac’s Art & Science design language that have helped reinvent the brand in the 21st century.
CTS’ athletic form is characterized by sculpted fenders. They feature side air extractors that recall a styling element from Cadillac’s Sixteen concept car; as well as an available UltraView ‘double’ sunroof spanning both the front and rear seats.
Seven-spoke, 17-inch wheels or available nine-spoke, 18-inch wheels surround the CTS’ high-performance brake calipers and rotors. Both painted and machined finishes are available for the standard 17-inch wheels. The larger, 18-inch wheels are available in a premium multicoat finish or a high-polish finish.
In addition, a summer tire performance package is available on performance and premium trim levels of CTS. The package includes 19-inch polished aluminum wheels and Continental Conti SportContact2 summer tires, as well as unique performance suspension tuning and steering wheel shift controls when the vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission.
The ’11 CTS lineup features the following new equipment:
• New front fender vent design with black inner fin detail
• Available rear-vision camera system, with a display located in the inside rearview mirror or – if equipped – in the navigation system
• Available heated steering wheel, which is included with ventilated seats and a wood-trimmed steering wheel on the performance trim level, when ordered with the performance luxury package and on the premium trim level
• Available 19-inch wheel and tire package with new all-season tires available on selected rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive models.
The CTS-V Sport Sedan returns for ’11, offering a world-challenging combination of high performance and uncompromising luxury to serious driving enthusiasts.

Cadillac CTS-V Wagon.

The Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon is, beyond the shadow of a doubt, an extremely capable family hauler and performance car. By anyone’s standards, it’s out-of-this-world quick, but when you consider it weighs nearly 4,400 pounds, its supercar-embarrassing acceleration and grip are that much more amazing.

So, it feels fast and will haul a load of groceries with the best of them, but how does it stack up in the pantheon of performance? The Smoking Tire decided to find out, taking a CTS-V Wagon and a Chevrolet Corvette to El Mirage. The big Caddy got put to the test, running to its top end (or at least very close to it) along a three-mile course, and going head-to-head with the ‘Vette in a dead sprint.

Cadillac CTS-V Coupe.

For a surprisingly small sum, the laboratories at Lingenfelter Performance Engineering will amplify the 6.2-liter LSA V-8 under the hood of the Cadillac CTS-V from the stock 556 hp to a reality-check 700.  Just $11,470 gets you an increase in maximum supercharger boost from 9.0 psi to 14.5, a new camshaft, new fuel injectors, and overhauled heads. Included in the reconstructive surgery are a port and polish, and new valves, springs, and retainers, among other odds and ends. Cadillac is unlikely to honor the warranty on cars that emerge from Lingenfelter’s shop in Decatur, Indiana, which is why the tuner covers the engine and its upgrades with a two-year, 24,000-mile guarantee. (We want to be the guy putting 12,000 miles a year on his 700-hp Caddy.)

While Lingenfelter lists the $1400 Corsa exhaust that was fitted to this siege engine as a separate option, go ahead and consider that a necessary expense.  It’s so good we can’t share with you how good it is: Its assault on our audio equipment was so fierce that we couldn’t get a reasonable recording to share. Just imagine the sound of a demon with a pair of V-8s for lungs sucking your eardrums through one of those large-volume straws you get at Burger King. (Easy, right?) At idle, you can practically hear individual combustion events, and the rollicking blub blubblub blub blub already will have the faint of heart reconsidering their decision to strap in. The way the LSA rocks the car at stoplights isn’t a T-Rex-walking-by, muscle-car shimmy, but it’s still a pleasant throwback.

Automotive filters are essential parts for your vehicle because they keep safe all the crucial systems required for the correct performance of the car. Filters contain air filter, oil filter, fuel filter and some models also have salon filter that is important as well.  Clean air, oil and fuel is a key for the automobile’s long life because all forcing mechanisms stay intact and workable. Contact our

Cadillac Air Filter experts toll free at 1-800-505-3274.  As all performance parts automotive filters have the end of their service life. Those are usually changed after a certain time or mileage but the periods may vary depending on the conditions and surrounding the car was used at. For example air filter is usually changed after 15000 miles or once a year if the vehicle was not in the run for long. But at highly contaminated areas the filter should be changed more frequently. The same occurs fuel and oil filters. The present day market offers thousands of that performance parts which may change the spoiled factory ones.

Cadillac CTS-V Sportwagon.

True to its word, Motor Trend has released a follow-up video to its three-way drag race between the Cadillac CTS-V Sportwagon, the Porsche Panamera Turbo and the BMW X6 M, though this isn’t exactly your run-of-the-mill comparison test.  Given the quirkiness of the vehicles at hand, MT took all three vehicles out to a dry lake bed for a little fun in the sun. If you like watching high-dollar, high-horsepower cars get down and dirty, you’ll want to check out the video after the jump.
It’s hosted by none other than our pal Jonny Lieberman, and he’s even wearing proper footwear this time around. So, which of these automotive oddities came out on top? You’ll have to check out the video to see for yourself.
