最近谍照记者首次拍到了2016款凯迪拉克CTS-V原型车，该车采用了重新设计的前格栅。这个新格栅采用垂直竖条，而且未来凯迪拉克推出的所有高性能版本都有可能采用这类格栅，而普通版本则继续采用网格格栅。这辆特别的原型车配备了大量前进气口，引擎盖带有硕大的隆起（power bulge），而在引擎盖下预计将搭载一台取自考维特Z06的6.2升V8机械增压引擎，输出功率约为447千瓦/600马力。这辆测试车采用黑色多辐轮圈和米其林Pilot Super Sport轮胎，车尾可以看到粗大的四排气尾管。与动力强劲的引擎搭配的是标配六速或七速变速箱，但也可选装取自考维特Z06的八速自动变速器。凯迪拉克可能会在明年1月的底特律北美车展向公众展示这辆CTS-V。

 

2016 Cadillac CTS-V spied hiding fresh front grille

A prototype of the 2016 Cadillac CTS-V has been caught on camera for the first time and was featuring a redesigned front grille.

 

That new grille with vertical slats will likely be implemented on all forthcoming hot Cadillac models while the lesser variants will retain the mesh configuration. This particular prototype came equipped with generous front air intakes and a sizeable power bulge while under the hood we expect to find a Corvette Z06-sourced V8 6.2-liter supercharged engine tweaked to deliver somewhere in the region of 600 bhp (447 kW).

 

The test car had black multi-spoke alloy wheels wrapped around in Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires and at the back was fitted with menacing quad exhaust tips. The powerful engine is expected to work as standard with a six- or seven-speed manual gearbox along with an optional eight-speed automatic transmission taken also from the Z06.

 

Cadillac could show the CTS-V as early as next year’s North American International Auto Show in Detroit planned for January.
