New York 2015: Cadillac CT6 Is Coming With Length
![Derek Kreindler](https://cdn-fastly.thetruthaboutcars.com/resources/imgs-responsive/avatar-letters/avatar-D-F1C40F.png?size=91x91)
With apologies to commenter CoreyDL, who artfully suggested that the CT6 would be a long wheelbase CT6, we stole your riff on the unfortunate slogan Cadillac uses in China. But nobody can really say that the CT6 doesn’t look like a stretched CTS.
The CT6 is, at least, all new under the skin, riding on GM’s new full-size RWD Omega platform. Along with a 2.0T 4-cylinder and a naturally aspirated 3.6L V6, a new 3.0L twin-turbo V6 debuts with 400 horsepower. While rear and all-wheel drive are available, the sole transmission is an 8-speed automatic.
The Omega architecture is aluminum intensive in its construction, which allows the CT6 to weigh in at around 3,700 lbs, impossibly light for a full size luxury sedan. Despite being 204 inches long, it should weigh in below a BMW 5 Series. Although the much loathed CUE system is in play, a 34 speaker sound system will at least make the music sound good – once you get it to play.

The real CT6 competitor at half price or less, with far more standard equipment & HP'(make sure to compare interior & exterior): http://www.hyundaigenesis.com/img/Hyundai-Genesis-Gallery-wallpaper-05.jpg http://www.hyundaigenesis.com/gallery
As long as the name is CT6 it might as well be a germanwings flight through the alps. Dead on Take-off. . .
