CTS Touring Package Offers Look of CTS-V Without Added Power

Cadillac has a little surprise for all you CTS-V lovers who really like the appearance but don’t need all the power that the CTS-V has to offer.

They have decided to make certain features of the CTS-V available on 2012 coupes, sedans and wagons when the Touring Package is ordered.

The CTS Touring Package includes features like the famed Recaro seats, suede steering-wheel and seat inserts, high-intensity-output headlamps and V-specific spoiler and wheels.

The package is priced separately based on the CTS' two engines.

The 3-liter V-6 versions, the $2,065 Touring Package includes 18-inch pearl-nickel-finished wheels, dual exhaust, dark-finish grille, HID headlamps and fog lights, V-Series center-mounted stop lamp (except on wagon models), suede interior details, Midnight Sapele wood trim in the cabin and metal pedals.
The 3.6-liter V-6 versions, the package costs $2,810, and adds Recaro seats and 19-inch polished wheels with a choice of summer performance or all-season tires.

The 3-liter engine is standard in sedans and wagons. The 3.6-liter is standard in coupes and optional for the other body styles. But what about the V model's unparalleled supercharged V-8? If you want the 556-horsepower, 6.2-liter V-8 you will have to spring for the actual CTS-V. Sedan, wagon and coupe versions of Cadillac's speed machine start at $63,215. CTS pricing begins at $35,915.
