Cadillac CT6-V: Why a Hot CT6 Would Make Sense

One might argue the notion of a V version does not suit a Cadillac flagship, so there’s no reason for us to dream about one in the rendering above. However, we’ll remind you Cadillac never called the CT6 a flagship, which means we might see their go-fast division play with the new Omega platform.
While we have a solid base for a performance product, GM has launched the CT6 in twin-turbo V6 guise, with no V8 available at the moment. Nevertheless, the company is on its way to releasing a new V8 engine family, which may or may not be used to spice things up rather than just for comfort.
Still, the decision to build a CT6-V is not exactly easy. A look at the German carmaker’s performers in the segment shows that while Audi has the S8 and Mercedes-Benz the S63 AMG, BMW remains firm about the decision to not build an M7, even with the new G11 7-Series generation.
