Dream Car:2009 Cadillac CTS-V sport sedan

The 2009 Cadillac CTS-V sport sedan is an ultimate expression of performance and luxury from Cadillac.Cadillac revealed the all-new CTS-V powered by GM?s new 6.2 liter supercharged LSA motor. With 550 horsepower and 550 pound-feet of torque this 4 door beast is upping the ante in the 4 door sedan muscle car arena.


The 2009 CTS-V also includes a comprehensive suite of technical and design enhancements over the previous generation CTS-V, including Magnetic Ride Control, an industry-first Performance Traction Management program and the addition of a new automatic transmission with paddle-shift control. Transmission choices for the 2009 CTS-V include either a six-speed manual or an exclusive, six-speed automatic with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters. It is the first automatic offered on the CTS-V.


?The CTS-V provides an absolute luxury driving experience across a whole range of conditions. With its powerful performance and unique refinement, the CTS-V has all it takes to capture the hearts and minds of discerning customers in the Middle East.? says Adib Takieddine, Marketing Manager for Cadillac in the Middle East.

The 2009 Cadillac CTS-V also includes sophisticated braking and tire systems, in partnership with two companies renown for high-performance technology: Brembo and Michelin. Brembo brakes are at all four corners and include powerful, six-piston calipers in the front and four-piston calipers in the rear. Michelin worked with Cadillac engineers to develop its acclaimed Pilot Sport 2 (PS2) summer tire for the CTS-V and its 19-inch wheels.

Inside the CTS-V Cadillac have created a decidedly sporting ambiance with Recaro 14-way adjustable sports seats, and a microfibre material offering high levels of grip is added to the steering wheel, seats and shifter to offer better driver control.

The aftermarket arena for the CTS-V will certainly be crazy since it will share the motor with the upcoming 620 HP ZR1. With a simple supercharger pulley change, light intake/exhaust modifications and a tune, 650 HP shouldn?t be too difficult to obtain. Hopefully GM will beef up the rear end considerably, since we?ve seen quite a few busted rears at the drag strips with the previous generation CTS-V.
