Cadillac CT6 to get aluminum body?

December 27, 2014
General Motors has reportedly embraced aluminum to help minimize the upcoming Cadillac CT6‘s curb weight.
The brand’s new flagship sedan will use an aluminum body, enabling it to hit a weight target between 3,700-4,100 lbs, unnamed sources have told Automobile. If true, the CT6 heft will be on par with the CTS despite a larger overall form.

Built upon GM’s rear-wheel-drive Omega platform, the CT6 is said to be the first model to introduce the company’s next-generation engine family. A 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 has been mentioned as the primary powerplant, alongside a new V8 and a plug-in hybrid powertrain.

A CT6 Vsport is also expected, though speculation surrounding an even more hardcore CT6-V remain unclear.

Full details will be confirmed when the CT6 makes its official debut, potentially as early as April at the New York auto show.
