Spy Shots: Cadillac CTS-V Plus
Even more horses for the CTS? Bet on it.
by Brenda Priddy (2004-05-10)


As if the 400-horsepower CTS-V Series isn't enough, we photographed General Motors' Performance Division engineers testing an even higher performance version.

Referred to as the CTS-V Series Plus by spectators at the Nürburgring, this CTS mule is said to be powered by a 6.0-liter V-8, and sources are estimating the horsepower to be in the 475-500 range. General Motors is aggressively testing this more powerful CTS, but production plans have not yet been confirmed.

The vehicle show here is actually an older CTS-V mule. The higher-performance CTS-V Plus uses a larger-displacement pushrod small-block engine, so the hood hump should disappear in production

Vette owners will complain but it will not be a big problem for them IMO, as it was said earlier, these are COMPLETELY different cars. Dedicated sports car vs. luxury sport sedan. I could definately see the CTS-v with a 500HP V-8 in it! I'd like to see the STS-v with a V-10/12. You just have to keep up with the competition.
