2011 Cadillac CTS-V: Coupe and Wagon Join the Sedan

This record's own dek states that the Coupe and Sport Wagon joined the sedan for 2011, and that the new coupe was the biggest body of the year: 3,224 coupes, 2,085 sedans, and 395 wagons. This record's own overview states that the CTS-V line added the Coupe and Sport Wagon to the sedan, all with the 556-hp supercharged LSA V8 and a choice of Tremec TR6060 manual or Hydra-Matic 6L90 automatic, and that in the V-Series production list the coupe was the largest body for 2011 at 3,224, ahead of 2,085 sedans and 395 wagons.^1,2

This record's own key facts restate the coupe, sedan, and wagon production totals, state that the LSA was rated 556 hp at 6,100 rpm and 551 lb-ft at 3,800 rpm, SAE certified, and state that MotorWeek listed the CTS-V Coupe at $62,990 base. This record's own production notes state that Cadillac V-Net's list was obtained from Cadillac itself, though it does not say whether the figures cover the US market alone or worldwide production, and that the three body rows are separately scoped rather than summed into one combined total.^1,3

It also documents W2E Recaro seats as newly available on the wagon for 2011, the 53F sueded steering wheel and shift knob requiring W2E, the new CBF standard-sized coupe sunroof, and the C3U double-sized UltraView sunroof on sedan and wagon.^4,4
