CTSV

CTSV, also known as the Cadillac CTS-V, is a high-performance variant of Cadillac's CTS mid-size luxury sedan. It is designed to compete with established European performance sedans. The CTS-V has a history of offering significant power and sophisticated handling, bridging the gap between luxury and track-day capability.

The first generation CTS-V, introduced for the 2004 model year, featured a supercharged V8 engine producing substantial horsepower. This generation established the CTS-V's reputation for raw power. Subsequent generations have continued this trend, often incorporating advanced suspension systems and braking technology to complement their powerful engines.

The second generation, launched in 2008, saw an increase in engine displacement and power, along with significant chassis and aerodynamic improvements. It was available in sedan, coupe, and wagon body styles, broadening its appeal. The third and most recent generation, introduced for the 2016 model year, significantly raised the performance benchmark with a supercharged V8 engine delivering over 600 horsepower, placing it among the most powerful production sedans in the world. This generation also focused on refining the driving dynamics and integrating cutting-edge technology.

Throughout its iterations, the CTS-V has been praised for its potent powertrains, engaging handling, and luxurious interior appointments, making it a compelling choice for enthusiasts seeking a blend of performance and refinement.
