CTS Sport Concept Unveiled!

[Jon]

Well that was a let down... WAY too ricey.

Cadillac is intent on branding the CTS as a performance player that can hold its own against the stalwarts of the segment, and until a V-badged version comes to market, those who have shunned its Germanic competition are forced to come to the party packing at most 300 ponies. The CTS Sport is a stopgap concept that brings the interior and exterior up a few notches, while boosting performance via a free flowing Corsa cat-back exhaust.

The majority of the tweaks come from a revised exterior that includes a modified hood, new front and rear fascias incorporating wire mesh and carbon fiber, along with a new spoiler, revised headlamps, polished dubs, yellow calipers and brake ducting with LED lighting. On the inside, the CTS Sport features thrones by Recaro, carbon fiber trim and BlueConnect Bluetooth integration wired into the headliner.

As a whole it certainly has our attention, even though our good taste has had to take a back seat.

I dont like it at all. Does not look like a Cadillac...

Not feelin' the love for this one. New stock CTS looks better.

The hood is just too over the top. I mean, I wouldnt want it even without the hood but I could live with the fact that Cadillac actually sold this car as long as it didnt have that damn hood.

I like the grill better than the 100% mesh screen grill that's been pictured here before. I don't care for the rectangular exhaust pipe tips. The hood makes it look like a Pontiac. Front end treatments may be what the next CTS-V will look like. I might have picked out a different color for the calipers instead of yellow.

i think it looks great. you have to remember that these mock-ups are a bit extroverted. the production model should be a little less in your face styling
