2016 Cadillac CTS-V: We're Driving It This Week
The Cadillac CTS-V was introduced 12 years ago. It is Cadillac's highest-performance car, and for 2016 it gets a thorough going over. The claim attached to the new V-car is that it is "the most powerful product in the brand's 112-year history."
Just how powerful would that be? Try 640 horsepower and 630 lb.-ft. of torque. Yes, that is powerful. We have been invited to Road America, a racetrack near Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, to drive this new Cadillac this week. That power is produced by a 6.2-litre, supercharged V8, which includes cylinder deactivation to reduce fuel consumption the highway.
