De Nysschen: Cadillac CT6 Likely To Gain Twin-Turbo V8

The Cadillac CT6's looks may not be as "greatly daring" as the B&B had hoped, but the premium sedan might make up for that with twin-turbo V8 power.

According to Road & Track, brand president Johan de Nysschen turned up for a Q&A with the commentariat over on Jalopnik, where he gave this response to a question by the blog's own Michael Ballaban:

CT6 is a car that really sets the standard in many respects with regard to advanced new body construction technology. It's a Cadillac, so it stands to reason that it's great to drive, very refined and sophisticated. The lightweight body construction allows us to push the envelope when it comes to powertrain in a way we know that the rest of the industry will follow. This includes a very wide mix of engines, starting with a 2-liter turbo, up to, eventually, a high-performance advanced V-8 turbo.

De Nysschen reaffirmed his statement when another commenter asked about the CT6's ability to keep up with the likes of the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes S-Class, proclaiming the sedan's "lightweight body structure" would provide the platform for "formidable performance" with a twin-turbo V6, let alone a twin-turbo V8.
