2009 Cadillac CTS-V Specs Made Official, Gets 556 HP

Source: http://jalopnik.com/395504/2009-cadillac-cts+v-specs-made-official-gets-556-hp

We knew the new super-spec 2009 Cadillac CTS-V would be getting some impressive output numbers, and today the official figures are out — 556 HP at 6,100 RPM and 551 lb.ft. of torque at 3,800 RPM.

Thats fast!!

12 seconds flat in the 1/4 mile seems a little fast for those numbers and the cars weight, but maybe with decent traction...

These numbers from the CTS-V make the V12 Cien concept all but irrevelant.

:clap:

I'm starting to think that CTS-V will have a base MSRP in the $70,000 range.
That's a good thing.

My only complaint is that the front clip has too much of a Japanese/'Skyline' design influence...

It's pretty bad when Car and Driver runs a huge article about how they "loved" a FWD European-spec family car but does not run an article about this 560 hp beast.
I went there to remind them how much of a pansy they really are (under username: spongebob1 in 'Sports & GT' forum).

I REEEEAAALLY want one! Maybe a coupe!

 

[Ultra Magnus]

Awesome. So much so that all the other V-Series cars are now irrelevant.

Yes, please God, make them build a CTC-V!!

 

[TruckMan]

Awesome car! I'm curious though, why does the front grill look like the older generation CTS's?

That car is a monster.









It's going to take four wheel drive to put that traction to good use. I sure hope it hugs the hell out of the road, because if it's like the lighter Corvette products, it's very easty to do some unwanted off roading.

That's a good thing.

a Cadillac rep at the NY auto show indicated the base price would likely be in the low $60k range but there would be one or more pricey option packages. He said the Recaros would likely be included in a package. I am thinking $70k loaded with a base price under $65k.

Who visits the M5 forums? I wonder what they are saying about this.....because it's hard not to like such a machine.

What I am saying? BMW drivers know a good car when they drive it....it's the Lexus forums where the entertaining post will be.

that mostly occurs when the driver turns off the active handling and traction control to show of to his friends
