Ctsv_013
Cadillac has a strong ambition for the CTS model and the sporty CTS-V is the company’s serious attempt set to compete with the outrageous Audi RS6, BMW M5 and Mercedes E63 AMG.

Engineers have worked hard to upgrade the CTS to German standards and the CTS-V will get upgraded tyres and tires, and chassis tuning. The car will sit on 19” wheels. The exterior styling features minor changes including a specific grille.

Final specs of the car are still unknown although observers agree today that the CTS-V won’t be powered by the LS7 engine taken from the Corvette Z06 as originally thought. The speedy saloon will have a 6.2-litre V8 that pumps out 525bhp with the help of a supercharger. The larger lower intake might favour the latter as it would help feeding the intercooler.
