The Cadillac CTS-V Coupe, American Muscle Vs. German Technology. The new 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe is at the same standards as the new 2012 Mercedes Benz C63 AMG Coupe, the BMW M3 as well as the Audi RS5 (which is said to be released in the States in 2012). But is 556 hp of American motor technology really ready to take on their German counterparts?
The CTS-V Coupe is a considerable step up from the Standard Cadillac CTS Coupe. Visually, it is like the CTS-V Sedan but the CTS-V Coupe still comes with distinct characteristics of its own. The rear and front fascias of the vehicle have been detailed to give it a sportier feel. The car is quite spacious on the inside all courtesy of a raised center section in the roof. Another unique feature of the CTS-V Coupe is a Grille that doubles the air intake volume of the car. The car uses Michelin Pilot Sport 2 performance tires which run around 19 inch cast aluminum wheels. The CTS V Coupe most definitely has outstanding features as compared to its mentioned German counterparts.
As far as the interior is concerned, it’s the car that every performance enthusiast ought to try particularly those who like a luxurious yet sporty feel. The car has sporty recaro seats which are stitched. It also comes with a 5.1 Bose Surround system, Caddy’s awesome GPS system, as well as a 40 gigabyte hard drive that comes with XM Radio as well as XM Nav Traffic. Its engine is a 6.2 liter supercharged V8 – 556 hp at 6,100 rpm and can go from 0-60 mph in 4.1 seconds flat.
Cadillac has once again proven that it can scare its German counterparts with their American “muscle”. This is primarily because the CTS-V Coupe will remove any misconceptions that you may have about Cadillac. The CTS-V Coupe starts at $63,660 and we think that it’s worth every penny.
