2016 Cadillac CTS-V Review 640 Horsepower Cost Starting from $84k

Cadillac proclaimed today that the most high-powered road car in their history might possibly go available for sale this summer with a noticeable base price increase on top of the old CTS-V, which commonly went between $70,000. With destination price the new car would be more than $84,000.

At the $84,990, the CTS-V is actually $4995 higher than a base 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06. That would seem like a steal for basically the same supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 (despite that producing 10 lower horsepower), a performance-tuned eight-speed automatic transmission, two extra doors and a back seat, and an authentic 200-mph top speed. Final fuel-economy statistics are not in yet, but we’ve already been told by Cadillac that it anticipates the V to prevent the gas-guzzler tax that nails M5 users with a $1300 tab.

A stiffer body structure, reinforced suspension equipment and Cadillac's adaptive dampers offer additional appropriate handling and control to join the CTS-V's newfound power. Brembo brakes and bespoke Michelin high-performance tires will be tasked with stopping it and sticking it to the road.

And the Cadillac is noticeably better organized in comparison with its rivals straight out of the box due to its carbon fiber hood, 19-inch wheels packed with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, 20-way adjustable front seats with heating and ventilation, camera monitoring, and suede and carbon fiber trim.

The new CTS-V is generally two cars in one: a luxury sedan with classy road manners including a track-capable sports car with outstanding performance. The sort of car is exclusive, the domain of the few who will be able to get into this level of wonderful capability. V-Series suits or overtakes the finest cars in this upper class, while being more accessible.
