This two-door is the first we’ve seen from Cadillac in about seven years, and the 2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe’s aggressive profile is given some street cred with a body that sits 2” lower than its predecessors. Under the hood, the 2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe boasts a 3.6-liter [V6](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nissan-z), which will deliver just over 300 horsepower and 273 pounds-per-foot of torque.
