2016 Cadillac CTS-V Is GM’s 477kW Super Sedan For Everyone But Us

GM luxury brand Cadillac has revealed its big new CTS-V power hero this week - but with a Detroit Auto Show debut planned for January, this one won’t be bursting out of any Christmas stockings.

As promised last week, the new CTS-V arrives to deliver a slapdown on Cadillac’s German rivals, comfortably out-performing both the BMW M5 and Mercedes-AMG E 63. On paper, at least.

Reports suggested the new CTS-V would draw power from the same 466kW ‘LT4’ supercharged V8 that drives the new Corvette Z06 coupe, but with outputs dialled down to slightly less rocket-like levels.
