GM has decided to release a V-Series version of the new CTS Coupe. Thank God. And Cadillac. With the CTS-V Sedan terrorizing Mercedes and BMW sports sedans, the CTS-V Coupe should strike even more fear into Cadillac's rivals. 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe vs 2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe The front fascia of the CTS-V coupe gets an aggressive makeover straight from the CTS-V Sedan (below). The CTS-V's grille doubles the amount of air coming in and the power bulge hood makes room for the supercharger. The CTS-V's rear fascia isn't as heavily modified as the front but new exhaust pipes replace the regular CTS Coupe's. They remain in the center but take a more traditional circular shape. 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe vs 2010 Cadillac CTS-V Sedan The front fascia of the CTS-V Coupe looks identical to the CTS-V Sedan and uses the same headlights, grille, and front fenders. The instrument panel and console are the only other parts shared (besides mechanical parts).
