Cadillac XTS at the end of this year, will take a position in the product line’s flagship company and will hold it up to the premiere of the new rear-wheel drive sedan, the idea of the production of which has found approval from both the leadership of Cadillac, and the group GM.

It is assumed that the most luxurious and expensive car with the logo of Cadillac, built on a new RWD platform will be called Omega, says Gminsidenews. For his class sedan will have a low enough mass through the use of composite materials: carbon and aluminium. On the range of engines is too early to tell, but a number of publications considered that would include one new V8 petrol engine and a hybrid power plant. Diesel engines, not very popular among North American consumers for future rival BMW 7-Series stipulates that do not.

In the salons of official dealers of new rear-drive Cadillac’s flagship will be approximately in 2015-2017 years.
