: CTS Super V Sighting

AutoWeek has some information about the next BMW M3 and a Super CTS V.


Though we'd hardly consider the Cadillac CTS V-Series ordinary, it’s clear this version is well beyond that performance CTS.

We last encountered the CTS Super V in testing at the Nürburgring (“Spied: Super V!, May 31, 2004), but this one—spotted recently by an alert spy shooter—appears much closer to production-ready. We’re told it’s the 2007 CTS Super V, and that it is powered by a 7.0-liter 505-hp LS7 V8 lifted directly from the Corvette Z06.

The Super V also features custom bodywork, huge rear tires, larger exhaust pipes and an engine sound unlike any other CTS.

With the new CTS slated for arrival as a 2008 model, speculation is that Cadillac will offer this exclusive model as a last hurrah for the exiting first-generation CTS.

If that’s not powerful enough, wait for the next-generation CTS Super V, which is rumored to be equipped with the LS9 engine—a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 with 600 hp. But you’ll be waiting at least until the 2010 or 2011 model year for that one.

I havn't heard anything new BigJoeD. In fact, the news has been raither devoid of V series information lately. GM seems to have slowed the number of advertising dollars they are putting into the V series and it doesn't seem to me they have really been developing much either.

Hey guys. No new news at all on this car, but can point you to this link about the next generation V-series CTS! Basically a super V. Possibly the super V that peeps were seeing was a mule for the next gen V engine and drivetrain bits and such. Also rumor this next V will have the Corvette SS/Z07/Blue Devil engine. The super V might have been the mule chosen to develop that engine. Might have been easier to test the engine in a bit bigger vehicle? Anyhow, here is the link! 2009 Next Gen CTS-V (http://www.thecarconnection.com/Enthusiasts/Spy_Shots_and_Future_Cars/Spy_Shots_2009_Cadillac_CTS-V.S178.A10938.html)
