The 3.0L Twin-Turbo is a smaller version of the 3.6L with a pair of twin-turbochargers strapped to it, making 404hp. This engine has so far only appeared in the Cadillac CT6. The ATS-V (469hp), CTS V-Sport (410hp) and XTS V-Sport (420hp) used a 3.6L with twin-turbochargers on it

Looks nice, don't really get the name change. Seems about as sensible as Infinity going from G37 to Q60..
I never made the Q60=G-series connection until your post. And here I'd been wasting my annoyance at how Nissan was doing the same "numbers inflation" game that BMW has been doing with their 128/328/528 2.0l models.
Cadillac didn't start this foolish naming convention until after Johan de Nysschen joined Cadillac as president. You know, the former head of Infiniti, who started the whole Q/QX naming system. He then tried to do this whole thing where he tried to make Cadillac a different brand, like moving their headquarters to NY, forcing dealers to have a Cadillac-only service advisor with a different desk that was required to be located away from the other advisors, having service bays that only Cadillacs were to be serviced on, and a whole program where Cadillac would send representatives out and ding dealerships if they weren't following these rules and didn't have enough new and certified pre-owned Cadillacs on the lot. Then GM pretty much threw de Nysschen out on his ear, moved Cadillac headquarters back to Detroit and ditched all these dumbass programs and rules.
