This model will use a 640 horsepower (477 kW), 630 pounds-ft of torque (855 Nm) and a top speed of 200 mph, the new CTS-V reaches higher than its predecessor. With more horsepower and torque than the Mercedes-Benz 5.5L biturbo V-8 and BMW M-series 4.4L TwinPower (twin-turbo) V-8, the new CTS-V capable of 0-60 in 3.7 seconds performance.
Exterior and Interior
Use of carbon fiber on the front splitter, hood vents, rear diffuser and spoiler are more aggressive. The CTS-V's dual-purpose capability carries over to the interior, where the design and relationship of key components are focused expressly on performance-driving ergonomics.
"With the performance the new CTS-V is capable of delivering, the interior needs to be as functional as the other vehicle systems," said Smith. "All of the contact points - the steering wheel, seats, shifter and pedals - are designed to make performance driving experiences direct and intuitive."
The CTS-V features standard 20-way performance-oriented heated and ventilated front seats trimmed in semi-aniline leather, with sueded microfiber inserts and seatbacks. Available RECARO performance front seats deliver aggressive, adjustable bolsters that help hold the driver and front passenger in place during high-load cornering. They also have a luxury-performance feel, trimmed in Mulan leather with sueded microfiber inserts and seatbacks.
Additional features include Cadillac's cut-and-sew elements, with decorative stitching and authentic materials such as available sueded steering wheel and shift knob. Three color combinations are offered: Jet Black, Jet Black with Light Platinum accents and Saffron with Jet Black accents.
The CTS-V features a unique version of the 12.3-inch instrument panel cluster display, with V-Series graphics and distinctive gauge readouts and complementing full-color, reconfigurable head-up display. It is also equipped with the latest connectivity technologies from Cadillac:
