The 2020 Cadillac CT5 won’t be launched until fall,
but it appears the company will introduce the all-new CT5-V on May 30th. The
high-performance model will debut later this month and be joined by the CT4. Cadillac has been tight-lipped
about the cars, but the CT5-V could come equipped with the company’s twin-turbo
4.2-liter V8. The engine produces 500 hp and 777
Nm of torque in standard form, while it develops 550 hp and 850 Nm of torque in the range-topping CT6-V.
There’s no word on what the CT5-V will be rated at,
but it will effectively replace the CTS-V which had a supercharged 6.2-liter V8
with 640 hp and 853 Nm of torque. This enabled
the sedan to rocket from 0-96 km/h in 3.7 seconds and onto a top
speed of 322 km/h.
Cadillac is
also set to unveil the new CT4. Set to become the brand’s entry-level sedan,
the car will likely ride on a shortened version of the CT5’s platform. Engine options should carryover
from its larger counterpart, so we can expect a turbocharged 2.0-liter
four-cylinder with approximately 237 hp and 350
Nm of torque. There could also be a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 which produces around
335 hp and 542 Nm of torque.
Little else is known about the CT4, but previous spy
photos have shown the model will have an edgy design which follows in the
footsteps of the CT5. It will also be significantly smaller than CT5, but
there’s no word on dimensions quite yet.
