FactA 2009 CTS-V lapped the Nürburgring in 7:59.32, the fastest documented production sedan on factory tyres until a Panamera Turbo beat it.
The second-generation CTS-V, on GM's Sigma II platform, used a supercharged 6.2-litre LSA pushrod V8 based on the LS9, producing 556 hp and 551 lb-ft, with a six-speed manual or automatic, MagneRide dampers and Brembo brakes with six-piston front calipers. A CTS-V Coupe followed as a 2011 model and a CTS-V Sport Wagon was shown in 2010, both with the same engine. GM quoted 0–60 mph in 3.9 seconds for the sedan and 4.0 for the coupe and wagon. The sedan and wagon were sold through 2014 and the coupe through the 2015 model year.

Owning one

This CTS-V was tested at 3.5 seconds to 60 mph despite weighing 4,145 lb, the heaviest hard-launching Cadillac yet.

The first CTS-V's T56 had skip-shift, which under light load blocked second and third gear to save fuel.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
