  • Cadillac 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 engine [video]

    Cadillac has published a video featuring the twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6 engine that will power the 2014 CTS Vsport and 2014 XTS Vsport models. The engine kicks turbo lag to the curb with a unique combination of smaller turbochargers, top-mounted throttle body and shorter air pathways.

    Air flow routing volume is reduced by more than 60 % when compared with a conventional design that features a chassis-mounted heat exchanger. The water-to-air cooler system achieves more than 80 % cooling efficiency with only about 1 psi (7 kPa) flow restriction at peak power
    for fast torque production.

    The 3.6 twin-turbo V6 produces 420HP (313 kW) and 583Nm (430 lb-ft) of torque in the CTS Vsport, while the XTS Vsport will have 410HP (305 kW) and 500Nm (369 lb-ft).

    Both models will hit the market this fall and CTS VSport will be priced from $59,995, while the XTS VSport will be sold for $63,020.

  • 2014 Cadillac XTS V6 3.6 liter Twin-Turbo – 410HP and 500Nm

    The 2014 Cadillac XTS is now offered with a powerful 3.6 liter V6 twin-turbocharged petrol engine.

    It is coming from the mighty CTS, but slightly underpowered (10HP and 82Nm) or in other words 410HP (306 kW) and 500Nm (369 lb-ft) of torque. The 2014 XTS fitted with this engine comes with a slightly different front grille and a badge on the lid.

    Other highlights include automatic parking assist and electric power steering for the FWD models. There is also a passenger seat with memory, Intellibeam headlights, revised rear-seat armrest and a sunroof sunshade.

    XTS is the only luxury sedan with standard Magnetic Ride Control – the world’s fastest-reacting suspension – while the advanced all-wheel-drive system uses Haldex technology with an electronic limited-slip differential to transfer power front-to-back, and side-to-side, along the rear axle. It is available on all three collections.

    The twin-turbo engine is a comprehensive upgrade on the 60-degree, 3.6L DOHC V-6 that is offered as the standard engine in the XTS. However, almost every component is unique. New features include:
    – All-new cylinder block casting
    – Strengthened connecting rods
    – Machined, domed aluminum pistons with top steel ring carrier for greater strength
    – 10.2:1 compression ratio
    – Patented, integrated charge air cooler system with low-volume air ducts
    – Two turbochargers produce more than 12 pounds of boost (80 kPa)
    – Vacuum-actuated wastegates with electronic control valves
    – All-new direct injection fuel system
    – Tuned air inlet and outlet resonators, aluminum cam covers and other features that contribute to exceptional quietness and smoothness.

    The cylinder heads are also unique to the Cadillac Twin-Turbo. They feature a high-tumble intake port design that enhances the motion of the air charge for a more-efficient burn when it is mixed with the direct-injected fuel and ignited in the combustion chamber.
