Best 4 door performance sedan out there. I have a 2019 and absolutely love it. Car is bulletproof. Sure an M5 or E63 has the AWD for a better launch. Appearance wise the Caddy blows them away. Has that sinister look especially in black with the carbon fiber package.
+To The FloorThis is called a press release. Cadillac brought the Motorweek crew to Road America in Elkhart Lake, WI to have them give it a try. Thus, they weren't in their home base in Maryland with the proper 0-60 mph and 1/4-mile times. In addition, they spent more time with CTS-V more than the ATS-V. The ATS-V has a twin-turbo V-6, the same amount as the CTS V-Sport. Note: that CTS-V is awesome with that supercharged V-8, but MW, please give the ATS-V some love, will ya?
M DOSD Motorweek NEVER says track test. Only road test and they include instrumented tests in most of them. They should not say road test unless they have full instrumented testing included IMHO.
I do wish in the future that Cadillac start using exclusive to Cadillac engines in their cars.... Growing up it was cool to hear Cadillac and Northstar V8 in the same sentence now it's more of a corporate thing now.
+keri ellerbe oh they are doing just that, in fact Cadillac specific engines are being engineered and developed as we speak. Cadillac has its own team of engineers and the company is being positioned away from GM corporate siblings. www.motorauthority.com/news/1097854_cadillac-to-get-new-unique-v-8-despite-talk-of-the-v-8s-death
I love my ctsv....so much that I bought an extra supercharger to put on my ls3 in my nova!!!....and those 19" Michelin supersports are not cheap, I run the same tires on my cls550
CTS-V $85,000 USD ATS-V $61,000 USD Thats a lot of money!!! I could never afford a new car. I will never spend more than $5000 for any vehicle that I use. I work hard for my money just to eat and pay for bills. Not willing to work myself to death to pay for luxury products in my life. Unless I hit the Lottery. LOL
Wondering what Caddy would do against rivals like Beemer's Ms (3/4) and the new Alfa Giulia Quadrifoglio. What's sure, is that it's gonna be more like it. That's what I call a comparison!
i think the ats-v was barely mentioned, this was a terrible video. i dont know why they didnt take the time to split it up. it was 90% about the cts-v...
Personally it looks way to aggressive! The Bmw m5 looks just like every other 5 series, and that is why I love it, it is understated, it is a "sleeper". Only die hard motor enthusiasts would understand the m badge, to everybody else it is just a bmw. I hate cars that have to shout "look at me, look at my carbon fiber everything and all of my scoops and huge spoiler". The m5 is great because it doesn't shout "look at me", also I personally thing the twin turbo 4.0 v8 in the m5 is one of the best engines put in a car, yes it doesn't sound that great, and it has a better transmission then the cts-v.

Man, what a gorgeous car. If I had the money I would buy one.
Biker Jim me too
I want mine in black exterior w/ a black merello red interior!
Biker Jim same man
So would I. Mine would be either red or black.
The G8 GT & GXP both competed quite well with Germany's best.
Badass! Best Cadillac ever.
An absolute beauty with formidable performance.
ATS-V deserves its own in-depth review
+TeutonicSpeedracer patience
+TeutonicSpeedracer I gave that note to +To The Floor!
Not your daddies caddy...
I'm a Mopar guy but would take this over the Charger HC
I’ve always loved the Cadillac CTS-V.

Super sedans are my favorite performance cars.

Awesome review! My dream car...but probably unrealistic, hah
It's not a proper road test without 0-60 and 1/4 mile times. Bad Motorweek!
+To The Floor! ...Bingo!...we need to know if it beats the Hellcat in the 1/4.

Billy, then they need not call it a "ROAD TEST"
+To The Floor!
OOPS - you are confusing road test with track test. It's OK.
M DOSD

I think this is my FAV CTS-V; because this is as close to a 4 door Corvette (my FAV Chevy) as you can get.

Yeah if they were smart could've just put a different supercharger on it and called it LT-something else. But it's all up to the bean counters.

CHUUMPASS Thanks for the info!
Such a bada$$ of a car. Too bad no more estate. 😞
Loving this CTS-V ❤️
i sure miss this show my public station has cancelled the show for a quilting show whoopee. John Pat Craig and the lady reporters were the best. .
I love my ctsv....so much that I bought an extra supercharger to put on my ls3 in my nova!!!....and those 19" Michelin supersports are not cheap, I run the same tires on my cls550
What an animal!!!😍
This car is a lot racier then the Mercedes E63 and a toss up between the BMW M5! IMO!
Alfa romeo giulia quadrifoglio kills it on the nurburgring
oh my gosh awesome power!!
YESSSSSSSS
CTS-V $85,000 USD
ATS-V $61,000 USD

Alfa romeo giulia quadrifoglio cheaper faster kills them both by 20 seconds a lap on the nurburgring
“V for velocity of course” ………except that’s not what the “V” stood for but whateva
why did I finally see my first one on the road last week?
Becouse they only produce a few thousand of these a year
And the alfa romeo guilia quadrifoglio killed it on the nurburgring 7.32....with a 6 cylinder
Hsv gts r w1 engine . Hsv claim 4.1 seconds to 100km ,this ,must be wrong ? Cts'v 3.7
Wondering what Caddy would do against rivals like Beemer's Ms (3/4) and the new Alfa Giulia Quadrifoglio. What's sure, is that it's gonna be more like it. That's what I call a comparison!
guila 3.7 seconds ' m3 3.8 seconds
1950 kg hsv gts r w1 beat them both in a drag race tho
7.32 nurburgring time the alfa kills it
12.0 @ 117 mph
no way for a v series escalade huh
This new escalade will have a performance variant this time around
there somehow was a way
"Floor it, and it's omg awesome!" Really?
Stick that engine into an ats.
i think the ats-v was barely mentioned, this was a terrible video. i dont know why they didnt take the time to split it up. it was 90% about the cts-v...
wheres the 1/4mile times ??smh
M 5and E 63 amg dont come close^Both are way faster running very low 11 second quarter mile times.Please.
AWD that's why. Roll race whole different story
Bring back the 96 Fleetwood and make it a Fleetwood V
Tossable nible fast
still would take an E63
+matthew von I would not. E63 is slower, handles worse, and pretty much does everything worse. But hey, at least it costs more money too.
Vernon Price you are wrong e63 0 to 60 is 3.5 so how this faster and now the new e63 0 to 62 in3.2
But not a alfa romeo giulia quadrifoglio

+Greg Yarbro but with that said, the cts-v is a great car!
BMWs all look boring with no personality just like they're short weak yuppie owners
Boho I’ll rather have an aggressive car than a m5 that you paid like 75k and looks like a base 5 series
