With the departure of the Cadillac ATS Coupe last year, the luxury automaker now offers no two-door models. A new Cadillac isn’t believed to be in the works, either, with much of the brand’s focus currently on its upcoming electric vehicle programs.
While it’s highly unlikely another Cadillac coupe will arrive any time soon, we think the Cadillac CT4 and performance-minded Cadillac CT4-V could still serve as the basis for an attractive coupe model variant. To see if our hunch was correct, we partnered with our sister site, Cadillac Society, to bring you this digital rendering of a two-door Cadillac CT4-V Coupe.
The CT4-V’s styling actually lends itself fairly well to a coupe shape, in our opinion. Apart from the chopped rear doors, we didn’t have to change too much to make the four-door Cadillac CT4-V look like a production-ready two-door.
But while the front and rear fascias are unchanged, there’s a clear difference in the way the car sits when viewed head-on or from the rear. The coupe has a much lower and wider stance than the sedan, giving it a more wide-set and performance-focused look. Red brake calipers and large brake rotors also lend to the car’s appearance and help make its sporting aspirations clear.

While Cadillac has no current plans to produce a new coupe, there may be a small glimmer of hope for two-door Cadillac fans. Brand president Steve Carlisle did not rule out the possibility of a new Cadillac coupe when speaking to Cadillac Society in a recent interview, saying an automaker’s portfolio changes as consumer tastes and trends ebb and flow. He also hinted that the scalability and superior packaging of electric platforms, such as GM’s new BEV3 architecture, may open up the door for interesting new vehicle programs in the future.
“Never is a long time. The way I look as it, body styles go through cycles, roughly every 10 years,” he said. “But with electrification, the architecture is so different, it opens up opportunities for different things.”
“But I will tell you one other thing,” Carlisle added. “We’re not going to do what’s already been done. We’re going to do something different.”
So while a Cadillac CT4-V Coupe may not be in the cards, there’s really no telling what could be in store for Cadillac further down the road – especially as electric vehicles begin to gain market share. Nevertheless, feel free to let us know what you think of our Cadillac CT4-V Coupe rendering in the comments down below.

I say yes, no matter how few they sell it needs to be done for the CT4 or CT5 and not just the V versions.
This would be a Vsport at best as the V is only if the top tier engine was a LF3 or LF4 twin-turbo 3.6L V6.
wasn’t there supposed to be a CT5 coupe/convertible?
Hopefully they do. Cadillac did say they want to appeal to younger buyers. Coupes tend to do that.
The decision would be based on sales volume of the ATS coupe.
They could do it on only the Sport and/or V trims.
CT4 has the wheel width of the ATS Coupe.
Audi, BMW, MB, Infinity, Lexus, Have I forgotten anyone? All make coups. GM however cant figure out the BUSINESSES case for doing so. What are all these other makers missing that GM so clearly see that they cant????? Also remember when the CTS coupe was killed off it was the best selling high end 2 door! GM decision making at it finest!
I would love to replace my 2018 ATS coupe with a CT4 V version. After my 2011 CTS coupe I have had three ATS’s in a row and love this size car. CTS (CT5) got just too long for my garage space.
Absolutely need to build a coupe-either CT4 or CT5. As nice looking as the sedan versions are I’d like it to look more like the Elmiraj concept car from a few years back. Car was stunning-can’t imagine that wouldn’t sell.
no coupe is a shame and a mistake
The 2 door wagon Caddy rendered a few weeks ago will work
My wife drives a 2015 ATS coupe and would buy another one as she loves it and is due but nope not available. Right beside the Sierra reg cab shortbox SLE I can’t buy either…..it’s like GM doesn’t want customers….
how about a V with Vette 650 engine
Buick Avista more attractive than the Cadillac.
