With a 6-speed, supercharged 6.2 liter V-8 pumping out 556-hp, the Cadillac CTS-V is a beast. The CTS-V explodes off the line, hitting 60mph in 3.9 seconds. That’s Italian, supercar-fast. This American-made monster stands out from its European counterparts with its original design and brute force. The CTS-V coupe could be mistaken for a concept car, and is continuing Cadillac’s re-emergence as a luxury brand that takes design and performance seriously. The Europeans should be terrified. The CTS-V is giving legendary cars like the BMW M3 and Audi S4 a run for their money – it smoked them in their own back yard, on the track-of-all-tracks, the Nurburgring.  And best of all, it’s assembled right here in Michigan. This is a driver’s car, and not for the uninitiated. The CTS-V is tailored to those who dare to hug a corner a little tighter, to rev a little higher, and to brake a little later. Just don’t dare to point to the four seats when convincing the Mrs. of its family-friendly practicality. Though on the other hand, the kids will never be late to school!
