The 2016 Cadillac CTS-V Strikes the Perfect Balance of Class, Suave and ... - Day Herald

The Cadillac CTS-V was the first vehicle to launch the American luxury automaker to the limelight in the recent era and its third-generation variant has a few points to prove. Cadillac was never known for being a sports vehicle manufacturer. However, with the changing tides, the company decided to design vehicles that would appeal to the younger generation, and what better way to do it other than increasing the performance of the vehicle. The 2016 Cadillac CTS-V draws power from a 6. 2-liter engine block lifted directly off the Corvette Z06, which means that this monster develops around 640 BHP along with 630 ft-lb of torque, and is capable of reaching 60 MPH within 2. 7 seconds,... Cadillac claims that the CTS-V is capable of achieving a top speed of 200 MPH, if given enough room, which makes the CTS-V all the more interesting. However, a Cadillac is never just about performance and the 2016 CTS-V is no different. Even though Cadillac is offering an optional manual transmission on the CTS-V, officials say that it is impractical since most luxury vehicle owners prefer an automated transmission over a manual drivetrain.
