2016 Cadillac CT6

Album created by William Maley · Updated April 1, 201511 yr

This gallery features official press photography and New York Auto Show floor shots of the 2016 Cadillac CT6, Cadillac's flagship full-size sedan revealed at the 2015 New York Auto Show. The CT6 was Cadillac's bold answer to the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes S-Class, built on a lightweight mixed-material architecture and offered with three engine choices including a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6. Images span the reveal event on stage with the large Cadillac crest backdrop, show floor walkaround shots in white with the 3.0TT AWD badges, and a full suite of official press photos in dark graphite metallic and white including lifestyle street scenes shot in New York City. Interior coverage includes the 10.2-inch CUE infotainment screen, digital instrument cluster, burlwood and carbon fiber trim options, cognac and light gray leather seating, the rear passenger area with folding armrest and climate controls, and the optional dual rear headrest Blu-ray entertainment screens.

Yep. And I think they got the energy density a little higher than Tesla's. Not a huge jump, but enough to matter and bring the vehicles over the 300 mile range mark will still keeping battery size in check.

I believe Ford's new platform and mid-size/compact truck are supposed to be LFP chemistry. It's good to know their degradation curve are even better for the consumer.

The concern is also largely going to disappear in the emerging generation of batteries. LFP chemistry (available in some Teslas and supposed to be coming in Hyundai/Kia/Genesis soon) have degredation curves that far exceed a vehicle lifetime. We're talking over a million miles before the batteries reach 80% of design capacity. The downside of LFP is they don't have the energy density that standard EV batteries (NMC) have, meaning you either have to be comfortable with less range or an even bigger battery pack. GM has LMR batteries on the way also. These are a medium point between standard EV batteries an LFP. They have 30% plus more energy density than LFPs. There hasn't been extensive degredation testing of this chemistry yet, but it is expected to be well above NMC and closer to LFP. Even if its 500k miles plus instead of 1 millon, it is functionally the same as LFP since so few cars reach that mileage anyway. What's interesting is that LMR and LFP could make the pursuit of super-capacitors obsolete. The only advantage super capacitors would have is rapid charging and possibly weight, but at the speeds we have today with EV charging, it might not be worth the cost for a technology that multiple automakers are struggling to bring to market.

I'm not trying to dispute that, at all. I know this. I should have used different numbers so you wouldn't have jumped to the conclusion that I'm expecting a 50% degradation. That's mostly what I expected, but didn't know the science behind batteries and/or charging. Thank you!

Yeah, it was in the news a lot in the past year because a certain segment was saying it was proof that EVs weren't the way forward. GM spent a billion or so rebuilding that plant.

Cool had not heard that they had rebuilt the plant. Agree that until the engines are in the wild, it will be interesting to see how they do. My own experience with the 5.7L V8 that was in my 1994 GMC Suburban was awesome, solid engine even after I bored it out into a 402 mean machine. Would love to have that Suburban with an AWD EV powertrain.

They rebuilt the towanda plant almost from the ground up for these engines. I’ll reserve judgement for now.

There have been plenty of studies done and I will post them here if your interested in the pure science. End result is that depending on the EV manufacturer, some loose range faster than others. Yet for the most part, EV battery packs will last far longer than the fear of the ICE folks are trying to say you will pay for.

Just my own take on how I am seeing things as GM tries to get in front of their engine issues.

What are you talking about? They’re new. Just because they use the same displacement as an engine from 1996 or the 1960s doesn’t make them old

You’re now only putting in 50kw (plus or minus some from charging losses)
