General Motors will produce a version of its Cadillac CTS coupe concept beginning next summer. The CTS coupe concept debuted last week at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, but its production has been rumored over the past several months.
In fact, the CTS coupe program was started back in 2006 under the codename GMX226 — a fact reported this week by Edmunds and confirmed by Leftlane‘s supplier sources.
The CTS coupe will roll off of GM’s Lansing Grand River plant in June of 2009. Production is slated to total 15,000 to 20,000 units annually. The car might be called CTC, but recent trademark filings by GM indicate it might be called CT6 instead.
The production version will look similar to the concept, with only a few changes expected. Look for the road-going version to add a rear-decklid spoiler and forgo the show car’s center exhaust setup for a more conventional one.
