Cadillac CTS-V     The Fastest Sedan in the World

The CTS-V starts with the performance architecture of the new CTS and then takes it to a whole new level. With a 556 horsepower supercharged, intercooled V8, a 0-60 mph time of 3.9 seconds, next-generation Magnetic Ride Control, Brembo brakes, available 14-way Recaro performance seats and much, much more, the CTS-V represents the beginning of a new era in Cadillac superiority.

This Luxury High-Performance sedan segment attracts a special breed of buyer--with a performance car mindset. That means cars and performance are an integral part of their life, not simply a hobby.  Cadillac CTS-V buyers enjoy being part of an exclusive, non-traditional club of car buyers, and make no mistake: they're not just in it for the badge.

Welcome to the Power Elite
The  CTS-V takes power in the Luxury High-Performance Sedan segment to a whole new level. CTS-V engineers used the BMW M5 as the benchmark in the class. As a result of their efforts, the CTS-V establishes the new benchmark with best-in-class horsepower, torque and 0-60 mph time. In fact, the CTS-V punishes the competition in nearly every track measurement.

Supercharging Technology
The CTS-V LSA engine features the latest supercharging technology with the Eaton Gen 6 Supercharger which combines peak performance with refined power. The supercharger compresses air to help move more volume into the intake manifold than a normally aspirated engine. As the air is compressed it becomes heated. Before reaching the intake manifold, the air passes through an intercooler to help create a denser charge entering the combustion chamber,

More dense, cool air in the combustion chamber means that additional fuel can be added to the mix, providing enhanced power without compromising fuel economy. Supercharging allows the 6.2L V8 to achieve it's impressive horsepower and torque numbers and provides CTS-V with a wide, flat power band that's usable at all rpm levels.
