If there were a CTS Coupe for the next gen it would be on the Alpha platform like the sedan. Here was a render of what a possible CTS coupe could look like
The Elmiraj would share the full size platform with the yet-to-be-shown flagship Cadillac sedan. Like how the new Mercedes S-Class sedan is to spawn a S-Class Coupe.
I don't know if anyone has really noticed the weight on this concept. 4,000 lbs. That is light for a full size coupe like this! For comparison, here's some other cars that weigh more than this 205 in. coupe:
Cadillac Elmiraj
Length: 205 in.
Weight: 4,000 lbs
Audi S5:
Length: 182 in.
Weight: 4,045 lbs
BMW 650i
Length: 192 in.
Weight: 4,275 lbs
Mercedes Benz CL550
Length: 200 in.
Weight: 4,740 lbs
Bentley Continental GT
Length: 189 in.
Weight: 5,060 lbs
Rolls Royce Wraith
Length: 207 in.
Weight: 5,200 lbs
Cadillac has really been putting an importance on lightweight platforms recently. First with the Alpha platform spawning the ATS and upcoming CTS, and now the Omega platform possibly giving us a full size sedan (and coupe) that could weigh 4,000 lbs

Um, you are forgetting 1 important fact, most, if not all, of those carry heavy AWD systems. put AWD in the Caddy and you would be right there. That said I noticed the Caddy style trumps all of those 2 or 3 fold......
