Mechanical

Ripping a page out of the muscle car playbook, the 2011 Cadillac CTS-V is a familiar production car that has been stuffed to the fender wells with a rip-snorting supercharged 556 horsepower supercharged 6.2-liter V8 under the V's power-dome hood.

The engineers have suitably beefed up the suspension and brakes to make the CTS-V as capable of scrubbing off speed and cutting through corners as it is of streaking down a straightaway.

The engine is a slightly detuned version of the engine under the carbon-fiber hood of the mighty Chevrolet Corvette ZR1.
It shifts by a six-speed automatic transmission with shift buttons mounted on the steering wheel.

It of course has all power options including air conditioning, power steering, and power disc brakes and most of the powerplant is hidden underneath the Cadillac logo engine cover and all looks stock underneath.

Interior

The CTS-V sports one of the nicer passenger compartments in the segment. The overall look is high-class, with an attractive and functional layout for gauges and controls.

Materials are high quality and a noticeable improvement over those used in the previous generation.

Our CTS-Vs interior also sports as much head- and legroom as most of the super sedans in the midsize class.
Inside the cabin, it features a pleasing twin front bucket seat interior with a matching rear seat with leather upholstery, power-adjustable heated front seats with driver-seat memory, power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel and dual-zone automatic climate control.

High-tech bells and whistles include a hard-drive-based navigation system with real-time traffic updates and a Bose surround-sound audio system, satellite radio, USB/auxiliary audio jacks and digital music storage.

The controls are straightforward and expertly tailored and it has all available power options.

Exterior

The Cadillac CTS-V presentation great stealthy black shade of paint on its wide fenders, and has fog-light insets, two-tone grille and bumper extensions below each headlight that give the great paint job a racy look.

It also features include chrome alloy wheels, high-performance black sidewall tires, Brembo brakes, adaptive xenon headlights, an adaptive suspension with adjustable dampers, keyless ignition/entry, and rear park assist.
