2015 CADILLAC CTS-V 6.2 V8 8AT (640 HP)

Vehicle Overview

Cadillac was and still is, known for its luxurious vehicles, ridiculous SUVs and chromed wheels. That’s why no one expected them to build a four-door sedan with a claimed top speed of 200 mph (322 kph).

The 2016 Cadillac CTS-V was originally the most powerful car in the brand’s history. The 6.2-liter engine was equipped with a 1.7-liter supercharger, boosting the maximum power to 640 hp and 855 Nm (620 lb.-ft) of torque. The car comes with an 8-speed automatic gearbox with paddle shifters behind the steering wheel. The transmission is tuned to do launch-control and also features a Performance Algorithm Shifting.

The interior is different from a regular, luxurious, Cadillac limousine. The performance sedan has a 12.3” display installed in the dashboard and has special functions, which are more track-oriented. In front of the driver, the CTS-V shows a head-up display with an array of information needed on the road or on the track.

For the front occupants, Cadillac has installed heated and ventilated 20 way adjustable seats. The infotainment unit also comprises navigation and a Bose Surround Sound audio system. For the Apple CarPlay users, Cadillac engineers have installed a Siri Eyes Free that can read incoming texts and transforms voice into texts. The CTS-V has a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot and OnStar 4G LTE connectivity.
