Cadillac CTS-V COUPE 2013 User Manual

For immediate release
CADILLAC CTS-V COUPE
New for 2013
 Two-piece front brake rotors
 Exterior color: Glacier Blue Metallic
2013 CADILLAC CTS-V COUPE MATCHES STUNNING PERFORMANCE WITH
DRAMATIC STYLING
The Cadillac CTS-V Coupe is the most dramatic model in the V-Series range of high-
performance luxury models, blending a personal 2+2 layout with a drivetrain vetted on
Germany’s famed Nürburgring.
Like the Sedan model that established the CTS-V legacy, the V-Series Coupe is
powered by a supercharged 6.2L V-8 that delivers 556 horsepower (415 kW) and is
backed by either a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic. A collection
of technical and performance elements complement the powertrain, including Magnetic
Ride Control, Brembo brakes and Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 performance tires mounted
on 19-inch forged aluminum wheels.
A unique grille that doubles front-end airflow to help enable its high-performance
capabilities is one of the V-Series’ distinguishing features, along with an aggressive front
fascia and raised center section of the aluminum hood that provides clearance for the
supercharger.
For 2013, the CTS-V family adds new, two-piece front brake rotors and Glacier Blue
Metallic exterior color. The two-piece rotors replace co-cast components, offering greater
resistance to warping and potentially longer rotor life, as well as reduced weight. The
design features a separate rotor mounted to a “hat” that attaches the brake assembly to
the wheel hub. The hat and rotor heat and cool at different rates, which helps the rotor,
dissipate heat more effectively to prevent warping.
CTS-V Coupe design and exterior features
Compared with non-V Series variants, the CTS-V exterior incorporates a number of
unique cues that blend function with aesthetics. The dihedral Cadillac grille, for example,
is larger to enable more air intake and features a satin finish, while the raised hood
encompasses the supercharged engine beneath it. The front and rear fascias, as well as
a rear spoiler that houses the center high-mounted stop lamp, are specific to the car, as
are its standard 19-inch wheels.
Additional exterior features include:
 High-intensity discharge headlamps with Adaptive Forward Lighting System are
standard
 Heated and power-adjustable outside mirrors are standard
 Rainsense automatic windshield wipers are standard
 Nineteen-inch painted aluminum wheels are standard
 Nineteen-inch high-polished aluminum wheels are optional
