Cadillac showcases new SLS at Auto China 2006

At this year's international motor show in Beijing "Auto China 2006", Shanghai GM is showcasing its newest addition to its Chinese Cadillac line-up, the SLS. Looks familiar? Your right cause its nothing more than a long wheel based STS. To be exact, the SLS has been lengthened by 100mm to add rear seat legroom which is a common practice from luxury makers that enter the Chinese market.

BMW did the same with the Chinese version of the 5 Series so as to meet specific local needs in this primarily chauffeur-driven luxury segment. Three engine options will be available which include the 2.8L V6, a 3.6L V6 and the top-level Northstar 4.6L V8 with 239kW/320hp. The new SLS will be built at the Shanghai GM plant for the Chinese market
