D3 Research and Design likens itself to such notable German tuning houses as Brabus and Dinan, but instead of amping-up Benzes or BMWs, it works over Cadillacs.
The Signal Hill, California-based company started out about 10 years ago doing various special projects, such as demo cars, for General Motors.

We thought Bentley's announcement earlier today that it's adding a Speed model to the Continental Flying Spur lineup was exciting news for sedan fans. After all, a 600bhp saloon that can hit 60 mph in 4.5 seconds and reach 200 MPH is pretty exciting, no? Not really when compared to Cadillac's news that the 2009 CTS-V will officially be rated at 556 horsepower, hit 60 mph in 3.5 seconds and run the quarter mile in 12 seconds flat. No offense to Bentley, but a sub-3-second sedan is about as exciting as it can get on a Monday.

The new Cadillac CTS Coupé was one of the biggest surprises of the recent Detroit Motor Show for two reasons. Not only was the unveiling totally unexpected, but the stylish US machine was fitted with a six-cylinder 2.9-litre turbodiesel engine delivering 247bhp. Oil-burners aren’t popular in the American market, so Cadillac’s decision is clearly an attempt to improve its green image with petrol-loving buyers Stateside.
