Its an all new platform with their new V-12. It's a normally aspirated 4 valve per cylinder 7.5L v-12 putting out over 750HP and around 450lb/ft of torque. It has been dubbed the Northstar XV12. It will be in a mid engine rear wheel drive layout. The transmission is a 6-speed semi-automatic with electronic paddle shift. The XV12 is likely to make its appearance (de-tuned) in the next Deville or even in the up and coming STS. It is very close in size to the current Northstar motors and could even be used in a FWD configuration but is certainly usable in a front engine rear wheel drive application. The Cien will be primarily carbon fiber and will have all aluminum suspension components. Cadillac is farming out the production aside from the drivetrain and will most likely be selling 250 of them per year at $250,000 each. I'm not sure when production is going to start. Well I hope that answers some questions! Let me know if you want more info Christian Sager -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Kelly C.
