AutoBlog: Burning Rubber in the CTS-V

his week the Cadillac communications crew invited a group of media out to General Motors' Milford Proving Ground for a special preview of the new second-generation Cadillac CTS-V. We first saw the CTS-V last January at the Detroit Auto Show and more information has been dribbling in the intervening time period. A few weeks back, GM's resident speed demon engineer John Heinricy took a production spec CTS-V to an all-time lap record of 7:59.32 for a production sedan at the Nürburgring, and this week Cadillac revealed the official SAE certified power numbers for the super-Caddie at 556 horsepower and 551 pound-feet of torque.

I think they should offer the Nürburgring sticker as an option.

My favorite line in the Autoblog article (under a picture showing the rear ends of three Vs parked together):

Likely the only view that M5 drivers will have of the CTS-V

[Not sure how to add that picture here.]

If it was my money, I doubt I'd go for silver, but damn, is that ever a good looking car.

I like the 5 lug wheels. It will be easier to buy after markets.
