New Cadillac to make its debut at Detroit Auto Show

The 640-hp, 6.2-liter LT4-powered CTS-V will make its debut at the Detroit auto show in January. 0-60 mph time of 3.7 seconds. The fenders are wider to accommodate the bigger wheels and the hood bulges to cover the 1.7-liter supercharger.

Power is sent rearward to an electronically controlled limited slip differential. Caddy also skipped the carbon ceramic brakes on the V, the stock iron discs are better prepared to stop the car repeatedly from high speeds without long-term noise or chatter.

The car will be offered in six colors, which will be available in limited numbers.

The new Cadillac looks great from the front with that wide grid and that bonnet, the back looks great but is not very attrective, but from the side it is just awful, mainly because it looks like a regular sedan.That big engine borrowed from the new Corvette Z06 should provide enough power for this heavy car.

 

What heavy car? It is lighter than M5, E63, RS6, and XFR-S, which it competes with.

Yeah. This is my next purchase. My only hope is that they come out with a coupe before I buy this time. Last time I bought the Sedan first and then they brought out the coupe I finally ended up with. Wouldn't mind skipping the extra purchase this time 'round.

Lovely auto, I just wish they would make a V edition of the Escalade. Nothing like a supercharged SUV to rock the roads and mountains in for us big guys.
