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.
