2016 Cadillac CTS-V Review 640 Horsepower Listed Ranging from $84k

Cadillac publicized today that the most high-powered road car in their history would go on the market this summer with a noticeable base price growth above the old CTS-V, which generally went for about $70,000. With destination price the new car are definitely more than $84,000.

At the $84,990, the CTS-V is just $4995 higher than a base 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06. That appears to be like a steal for essentially the same supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 (albeit creating 10 fewer horsepower), a performance-tuned eight-speed automatic transmission, two added doors and a back seat, and an authentic 200-mph top speed. Final fuel-economy numbers are not in yet, but we’ve been recently notified by Cadillac that it expects the V to keep from the gas-guzzler tax that nails M5 consumers with a $1300 tab.

A stiffer body structure, braced suspension parts and Cadillac's adaptive dampers imply far more proper handling and control to go along with the CTS-V's newfound power. Brembo brakes and bespoke Michelin high-performance tires will likely be tasked with stopping it and sticking it to the road.

And the Cadillac is noticeably better stuffed when compared with its rivals straight out of the box with the help of its carbon fiber hood, 19-inch wheels covered with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, 20-way adjustable front seats that have heating and ventilation, camera monitoring, and suede and carbon fiber trim.

The new CTS-V is basically two cars in one: a fabulous sedan with classy road manners with a track-capable sports car with magnificent performance. This kind of car is exclusive, the domain of the few who will be able to get this level of amazing capability. V-Series complements or overtakes the finest cars in this top-notch class, while being more accessible.
