2015 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe: The Last of the Second Generation

This record's own title identifies this as the "2015 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe," and its own dek states that the coupe alone carried the second-generation CTS-V into its last year, 491 built, with manual or automatic. This record's own overview states that for 2015 the CTS-V was offered only as the coupe, and that the V-Series production list gives 491 coupes and zero CTS-V sedans for the model year, a body-by-body split this record's own production rows carry in full.¹

This record's own overview states that Cadillac documented manual and automatic configurations of the 556-hp coupe. This record's own conflicts section addresses the 2015 CTS-V Coupe run directly, 500 announced against 491 built, with its own treatment stating this is not a contradiction of the same measure since 500 is an announced plan and 491 is the production list's actual count, and that both figures are shown with their basis rather than one being preferred over the other.^2,3

This record's own production rows carry the CTS-V sedan at zero, the source explicitly listing 0 rather than omitting the row, alongside two context-only rows for the related CTS Sedan Vsport, 283 cars, and Vsport Premium, 234 cars, neither a V-Series car. This record's own production notes state that Cadillac V-Net's list was obtained from Cadillac, though it does not say whether the figures cover the US market alone or worldwide production, and that the body and context rows are separately scoped rather than summed together.¹

This record's own prices section documents a base price of $72,195 for the 2015 CTS-V Coupe, including a $995 destination charge and a $1,300 gas guzzler tax as stated in the Cadillac release, the edition described as available during the second half of 2014, alongside a $995 charge for Black Diamond paint, the only priced option this record's own prices section carries for the year, with every other special-edition feature bundled into the base price instead.^3,3

This record's own engines section documents the LSA 6.2-liter supercharged V8 at 556 hp and 551 lb-ft as factory-advertised output, the rating standard not stated on the cited page, with the source itself identified as a Cadillac racing media kit rather than a consumer specification sheet. This record's own transmissions section documents both a six-speed manual and a six-speed automatic as available on the CTS-V Coupe, neither transmission's take rate stated in any source read, and neither carrying an RPO code in this record's own transmissions section.^2,4

This record's own options section documents the limited edition's content, present on all 2015 coupes per the release: Recaro performance seats, metal pedals, Midnight Sapele wood trim, a microfiber suede-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, a dark-finish V grille, Satin Graphite wheels, and red brake calipers, presented as the edition's content rather than separately priced options with no RPO codes given. This record's own paint section documents three colors, Crystal White, Black Diamond, and Phantom Gray, none with a per-color production figure published in any source read, and this record's own interiors section documents an exclusive Ebony interior with red contrast stitching.³
