Cadillac presented a new 3.0 liter V6 twin-turbo engine, that delivers 405 hp (298 kW) and 543 Nm of torque, combined exclusively with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The engine will initially be placed in the CT6.
The engine produces 135 hp (99 kW) per liter, with Cadillac saying that it is stronger than the 3.0 liter V6 of the Audi A7 and the 3,0 liter twin-turbo of the BMW 740Li. It offers the performance of a V8 engine, it has a Start / Stop technology and a two cylinder deactivation system, that saves 6% fuel.
Production of the engine will begin this year at the Detroit-Hamtramck plant in Michigan, with Cadillac also preparing a 3.6 liter V6 atmospheric engine.
