The CTS-V is soon to make it’s 2009 debut this is set to be the fastest and powerful Cadillac to date. Aimed to take out the Euorpean cars such as the BMW’s and Mercedes-Benz E63 and the Audi R56 have now met their match.

The CTS-V is making the boys at the legendary Nururgring Nordschliefe get to know what its like to have the Motor City boys back with a vengeance. Or at least one of them. One of the lessons that they learned from the last CTS-V model was that if they were going to build something with raw power then the boys at GM would have to give this what is being called CADZILLA a body to do the damage.

In this new 2009 model GM has done just that by changing the front suspension cradles and better links. GM has also decided to foot their Cadillac in 19-inch rims and Pilot Sport 2 rubber.  The front tranny even got a face lift with a large diamiter prop shaft (the the amount of torque you’ll be pulling) and asymmertic halfshafts to pull you down the track when you stomp on the gas.

Now what every Cadillac fans and American Car Freak readers really want to know is “What’s it got under the hood?” Lets see…Under the hood we have a 6.2 liter SUPERCHARGED OHV 16 Valve V-8. This V8 is a coucin if you will to the Vette ZR1 which both put out 550 HP at 6200 rpms and the same 550 pounds per foot of toque at 4000 rpms What’s getting you from park to drive? Take your pick, either a 6 speed manual or a 6 speed automatic for you folks that like to text while driving this monster and not really drive it! Wheel base is sitting at around 113 inches giving this caddy a nice wide stance. And it can do 0-60 in ……………………4.5 seconds! Granted the base price of this GM beauty is $61,500 so all you gotta do is either sell your first born or start hocking organs that you don’t need and you’ll be solid. We highly recommend that you pick up on of these gorgeous cars if you can afford the tag.
