Spy Photos: 2014 Cadillac CTS Shows Interior, Turbo Motor

The 2014 Cadillac CTS is right around the corner and we're finally getting to see the new design as bits of camo are peeled away.

And the big thing peeled away this time is the hood. Hiding under that hood is a new twin-turbo V6 that gets a handy engine cover with "Twin Turbo" molded in. These engine covers are more than decorative as they're an integral part of controlling the rather unpleasant sounds of direct-injection so it's expected that they need to test with them installed. They took the time to cover up the Wreath and Crest, but left the fun stuff.

Beyond that we've see a new interior for the CTS that includes paddle shifters, stitched dash, and a traditional fixed navigation/control screen (though it does appear to hide a little bin a-la the Malibu) that will offer Caddy's new CUE media interface.

This CTS prototype is also sporting some rather aggressive wheels/tires and sports fixed brake calipers up front. It seems unlikely we're looking at the 2014 CTS-V, instead, we're thinking that the 2014 CTS will simply be a more sporting car and we're okay with that.
