Posts Tagged ‘Cadillac CTSV’

The 2010 Cadillac CTS-V is largely unchanged. The CTS-V is powered by a 6.2-liter supercharged version of the Chevrolet Corvette’s V8 engine. It produces 556 horsepower and is mated to either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. The CTS-V comes standard with GM’s Magnetic Ride Control suspension.

It uses sensors to monitor road conditions and adjust suspension tuning accordingly. GM also is offering its “Performance Traction Management” system on the CTS-V. This system is similar to GM’s Stabilitrak antiskid system, but it is set to aid performance in spirited driving. The CTS-V also gets an upgraded interior that includes optional Recaro-brand seats with 14-way adjustment.

Also optional is an Alcantara suede-like microfiber wrap for the shift lever and steering wheel. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain-side airbags, and front-side airbags. Available features include steering-linked headlamps and keyless entry and ignition. A navigation system is standard.

The 2009 CTS-V extends Cadillac’s acclaimed design language, both inside and out. The V-Series includes all the elements of the CTS sport sedan’s well received cabin, while adding some elegant and purposeful accents.

V-Series will offer Recaro performance driving seats, providing excellent support for spirited driving and adding to the luxurious and purposeful interior. These new, 14-way adjustable performance seats include pneumatic bolster controls in the seat cushion and backrest.

A microfiber material is added to the steering wheel, seats and shifter, providing the soft feel and luxurious appearance of suede without suede’s inherent drawbacks of difficult care and moisture sensitivity. These accents on the steering wheel, seat inserts and shifter are elegant to the touch and help support high-performance driving.

The car’s integrated center stack is trimmed with a new Obsidian material that is also applied to the center console and door trim. Just like every CTS, the V-Series includes a hand-stitched instrument panel, door trim and center console. Leading-edge infotainment features, including a 40-gigabyte hard drive, advanced navigation system with a “pop-up” screen and Bose digital surround audio, extend to the V-Series, as well as factory-installed Bluetooth capability.
