Just a few months after catching a 2014 Cadillac CTS prototype out in the wild, another 2014 CTS tester has been snapped around the Nurburgring in Germany. This CTS prototype doesn’t have the front and rear bra the previous car had, providing a better idea of the sedan’s overall size and design.
This CTS’ front grille, though pictured here in unfinished condition, sports a V-patterned design as opposed to the traditional grid-style layout found on most Caddys. Also visible are bright, LED daytime running lamps that appear to be part of the headlight housing. From the back, rectangular exhaust tips replace the round units found in the current model.
The photographer also snapped photos of the engine bay, revealing an engine cover with a “twin turbo” label. That could refer to a new turbocharged V-6 positioned toward the top of the 2014 CTS lineup. A retuned version of the 2.0-liter I-4 from the 2013 ATS will likely serve as a CTS base engine. As for the next-generation CTS-V, the high-performance Caddy is rumored to get a version of the C7 Corvette’s small-block V-8. But wait, there’s more. The photo set included shots of the 2014 CTS prototype’s interior, with overall styling similar to the ATS and the upcoming XTS. Fit and finish appear to be top notch, with leather covering everything from the dashboard and steering wheel. The center stack reveals a clean look with touch-sensitive buttons and Cadillac’s new CUE infotainment system. Finally, the instrument panel appears to be completely digitized (the XTS features a configurable digital IP).
