2016 Cadillac CTS-V Debuts at Detroit Auto Show - Automobile
DETROIT – Cadillac’s third-generation 2016 Cadillac CTS-V, which is making its world debut at next month’s Detroit auto show, is a study in contrasts. The 2016 Cadillac CTS-V’s standard carbon-fiber hood (an optional carbon-fiber package adds the material to the hood’s air extractor, the front splitter and rear diffuser, and the subtle rear-lip spoiler) covers a 640-horsepower, 630-lb-ft wet... Cadillac claims a 0-60 mph time of 3. 7 seconds for the 2016 CTS-V (thanks in part to standard launch control) and a top speed of 200 mph, and says that betters the BMW M5 by 0. 4 second and 45 (speed-governed) mph. Cadillac says the CTS-V is 0. 1 second quicker and 7 mph faster than the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG. We’ll have to wait until a first drive later this year to verify it, but Cadillac is hinting that the new CTS-V is closer to the Bimmer in terms of its sharp handling and steering and ride/handling balance.
