Last month as part of GM’s “May the Best Car Win” marketing campaign, Bob Lutz challenged journalists find a sedan that could beat the CTS-V. To show that he was serious, Cadillac has annonuced a special V-Series Challenge event. Journalists have been asked to pick any stock production sedan they want and then to bring it to Monticello to see if they can beat the CTS-V’s time. We think that the CTS-V stands a good chance of coming out on top, unless of course you have a Prsche Panamera you want to lend us.
American muscle is no stranger to debate. That’s why we created a performance-luxury vehicle to shatter any outdated perceptions that Stateside engineering is made for straight lines but can’t corner. The massive stopping power of the 6-piston front, 4-piston rear Brembo brakes. A high-performance chassis developed on the world’s most challenging test tracks. And the Magnetic Ride Control suspension system, reacting in less than one millisecond in both Touring and Track modes. True, the CTS-V will do 0-60 in 3.9 seconds, but this isn’t about setting records in a straight line. It’s about setting the record straight. Introducing the all-new 556 hp 2009 Cadillac CTS-V.
