FIRST DRIVE 2011 CADILLAC CTS V WAGON
 |
| 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Wagon |
As with the CTS-V Coupe, everything forward of the A-pillars was lifted straight from the CTS-V Sedan and mated to the Cadillac Sport Wagons body. Not everything is the same, of course. The show special you see here features a new rear fascia with a special roof-edge spoiler and integrated third brake light, all of which are unique to the concept and could see production in the future. The car is finished in the same Midnight Silver paint as the Sixteen Concept, augmented by special Liquid Silver wheels and a Black Chrome grille.
Beneath the melded bodywork beats a familiar heart. The CTS-V Sport Wagon is endowed as expected with Cadillacs wicked 556-horsepower supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 that makes 551 pound-feet of torque. Its fitted with a true dual-exhaust system and backed up by either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission. Power flows to the rear wheels through a limited-slip differential, and the 19-inch wheels are wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires.

New Cadillac CTS V
New Cadillac CTS-V The fastest, most powerful Cadillac ever built. The fastest, most powerful American sedan in history, for that matter. Locked, loaded, and gunning for Europes heavy-hitting sport sedans-BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG, Audi RS6. Read all that again. Now pinch yourself. No, youre not dreaming. Motown -- well, GM at least -- has its mojo back. Meet Cadillacs monster new CTS-V. Cadzilla, if you will.
Specification: 550 horsepower at 6200 rpm. 550 pound-feet of torque at 4000 rpm. Theyre only official "estimates," but as the engine under the new CTS-Vs power-domed hood is fundamentally the same as the supercharged V-8 thats credited with 620-plus horsepower and at least 600 pound-feet in the hot new Corvette ZR1, you can safely assume the real SAE-certified figures will be close. "Im confident well disappoint nobody with the numbers," says Ed Piatek, the CTS-Vs program engineering manager.
