Middle East - Continuing a year of recognitions and milestones, Cadillac continues to be awarded for its design and innovation with another two wins this month from leading industry magazines, Car Middle East and Evo Middle East.
Both magazines have given high marks to the 2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe and CTS V-Coupe, following its successful launch in Beirut this year. With the CTS Coupe being awarded "The Coupe of the Year" by Car Middle East and "The GT of the Year" honor for the CTS V-Coupe by Evo Middle East, the recognitions highlight the car as Cadillac's most dramatic expression of Arts & Science, setting the precedent for the luxury coupe market.
As highly regarded magazines within the automotive industry, honours by the publications serve as a strong indicator of Cadillac's efforts in creating well designed, innovative and technologically advanced vehicles.
Having emerged as a proposal inside Cadillac's dedicated design studio, the CTS Coupe is the focal point of the Cadillac family. Touch pad door entry and signature Cadillac exterior and interior features have made this car the latest and most dramatic of the brand's series of new designs to reach production. The CTS V-Coupe's supercharged V-8 engine, rated at 556 horsepower (415 kW) and 551 lb.-ft. of torque (747 Nm), is the most powerful engine offered in Cadillac's history and propels the CTS-V Coupe from 0-100 kph in 3.9 seconds.
