Although financial troubles have hindered Cadillac and resulted in the discontinuation of the XLR roadster, as well as a year delay for the rollout of the two-door CTS (scheduled for 2010), new spy images reveal great progress in the development of the 2011 CTS-V Coupe. Aside from the same 556-hp, 6.2-liter supercharged V8 found in the 4-door, this new vehicle is equipped with bigger brakes, larger wheels, a wire mesh grill, and dual center-exiting exhaust pipes that go along with the bulging bodywork. Available in six-speed manual or automatic transmissions, and with improved interior features, the 2011 CTS-V Coupe will have a sticker price of around $65k.
