Cadillac expects to begin selling its much-anticipated CT6 large sedan in December after showing it this spring in New York, the brand's president said Tuesday.
Johan de Nysschen, who took over as Cadillac's president in September, envisions the CT6 as a flagship car that is part of his long-term goal of doubling Cadillac's global sales to 500,000 annually by 2020, and challenge Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi in the U.S.
"We will introduce it at the New York Auto Show and you'll probably see start of sales in December," de Nysschen said after unveiling the CTS-V performance sedan at the North American International Auto Show. The CTS will go on sale this summer, and be built in Lansing.
The CTS-V is the most powerful vehicle Cadillac has ever brought to market, capable of 640 horsepower from a 6.2-liter V8 engine.
