    Default Cadillac CTS-V

    Quote Originally Posted by Left Lane News
    Cadillac has revealed its all-new CTS-V based on its recently-redesigned CTS sedan. As predicted by Leftlane several months ago, power comes from GM's new 6.2 liter supercharged LSA motor. A rating of 550 horsepower and 550 pound-feet of torque should satisfy Cadillac's most demanding customers, giving the BMW M5 and Mercedes E63 some serious competition.



    “The CTS-V represents the full extension of our design, technology and performance capabilities,” says Jim Taylor, Cadillac general manager. “The V-Series takes the award-winning CTS sport sedan and elevates it to a position within the club of the world’s most exclusive and capable cars.”

    The exterior is highlighted by a mesh grille and lower intake, a sculpted hood with engine bulge, 19-inch wheels, wider fenders, and quad tailpipes.

    GM has carried its Magnetic Ride Control (MRC) suspension system over to the CTS-V. The technology — which also appears in the new Corvette ZR1 — uses shocks controlled by electro-magnets, rather than mechanical valves. This makes MRC the world’s fastest-reacting suspension technology, according to GM.

    Electronic sensors at all four wheels “read the road” every millisecond, making constant adjustments to damping to create a smooth ride when appropriate, and a firm ride when required. The technology prevents body roll during hard corners, yet keeps passengers comfortable while cruising.

    Another electronic system — Performance Traction Management — is a traction control technology borrowed from championship racing. While most traction control programs monitor and control wheel slip for enhanced drivability in poor conditions, PTM regulates torque delivery to instantly match the available tire grip for maximum acceleration.

    The sedan's Brembo brakes feature six pistons per caliper up front and four per caliper at the back. Combined with grippy Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires, the CTS-V has massive stopping ability.

    Transmission choices include either a Tremec TR6060 six-speed manual or a Hydra-Matic 6L90 six-speed automatic with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters. Manually-equipped CTS-Vs will tip the scales at 4,200 pounds, with the automatic adding another 100. The engine's immense power is owed in part to a sixth-generation Eaton supercharger, which minimizes the added noise previously associated with supercharged engines, and tightly controls intake air temperature for better performance.

    “From the very start, engineers were cognizant of the role a high-performance engine plays in supporting the qualities customers expect in a Cadillac,” said Jim Taylor, Cadillac general manager. “The supercharged LSA engine delivers outstanding performance, but maximum power didn’t come at the expense of refinement or quietness.”

    The car has Recaro performance driving seats, with 14-way adjustment and pneumatic bolster controls. The seats, steering wheel, and shifter also feature microfiber material inserts, which mimic the appearance of suede without the required maintenance and ease of damage.

    Electronic features include a 40-gigabyte hard drive, advanced navigation system with a “pop-up” screen, Bose digital surround audio, and Bluetooth.

    The power output for this car already ****s all over the Audi RS4, BMW M3, and even the Mercedes C63 AMG. These numbers put it up with the M5, the E63 AMG/CLS63 AMG and the Audi S6. I've been waiting for this one...I'm sure it's going to be awesome. The new CTS is such a big improvement over the old one...and this one just takes it a step further. Let's hope that Nurburgring performance/handling tuning that they keep bragging about shows. Either way...this is awesome.

    Looks like GM finally stepped it up.
    At least they are moving in the right direction all they need to do now is put this motor in the new GTO/G8

    Sick way to step it up caddy. I knew this was commin'. The new CTS has almost unbeatable presence in person. Having driven a couple new one's they drive and look damn good for a Caddy..they were just a tad slow at 4000lbs which put a hurting on its 300hp. This should do the trick. Hopefully it won't follow after benz and be an overweight straight line beast. I have faith that this thing should turn and it better have a 6 speed option.

    it was far worse in a straight line than it was in the curves i.m.o. Atleast it was a successful race car...Those bitches axle hop like no other on the strip. The new one is a pig but apparently GM found the Ring right before they developed this beauty and dropped holyness in the engine bay.

    That thing is awesome. Besides the numbers it makes, the interior is the best part.
