^I bet it's not.

CTS-V is already $53K. DOUBLING the power, I wouldn't be surprised if it's over $80K or even $90,000.

Nah, i worked on a cadillac lot the sticker for a cts-v is about 45 befor you start barganing. We shall find out how much this thing costs, even if it is 80 or 90 k that'll still give you alot more power

I don't think Caddy is selling these things for under sticker.

Maybe this is a new price for this year, but check online:

CTS-V-- $53,370.

"Okay fine, this may not be a factory model so you can argue the title of this article saying that “No, BMW, Audi and Mercedes-Benz are still better,”"
You pretty much summed it up.

Why would you compare an 800hp TUNED CTS-V to stock versions of the other cars with half the power?

How about comparing it to an 800hp RS4, 800hp M3 and 800hp C55?

As fast as the car is quality wise it is still in the stone age compared to the M, S, RS & AMG. It's only good attribute is that powerful engine but what's a powerful engine going to do you when you're sitting in absolute misery not luxury. I hope the new one is more revised and better parts are slapped onto it's interior. From what I see the interior is much improved. I just hope the quality, fit & finishing are up to par.

Unlikely to be able to use any of that power. Only point if you are a 1/4 mile racer.

Didn't they have a tune BMW M5 with 800+ hp or something posted here last week? Anyway, I would take the M, RS, AMG, Lexus-F over this Cadillac anyday. Sorry Cadillac, I like you but not that much; that just the way life is sometime.

I bought an SRX like last month! damn! I shouldve waited for this! :P. Anyway as some people mentioned here, the currency motors M5 will be my choice if I wanted a rocket (not a fan of the rims though).

Well, its notable that a tuner has been able to wring that much power out of a GM engine.
What is notable, is that tuners have been doing this with German cars for MANY years and now Caddy is finally entering the arena.

Remember that Brabus 7.3 litre V-12 e-class that is in the Guiness book of records as the worlds fastest 4-door sedan?
How many years ago was that?
They electronically limited the speed to the fastest Michelin tire rating: 206 MPH.
With the traction control turned off, the beast would still smoke the tires by stabbing the accelerator at 80 MPH!
But it was a totally drivable vehicle ... not a racecar-stiff boy-racer.

On the plus side, the Caddy looks a lot better than in the past. And GM's plastics no longer scream "there is no plastic too cheap for GM!" Some day they might even offer interiors in different colors ... like a REAL car.

The CTS (old body) actually had pretty pleasing materials to touch. The problem was not the finish or feel of the plastics. It was mainly the design they somehow conspired to make soft touch plastic look cheap and hard. I agree they need more than just tan and black as well

Seriously, the new CTS V could very well pose a threat. The original CTS was a great car, like a 4 door 'Vette.

The old CTS-V is still competitive with the new generation M3 and RS4. 15 or 20 less hp but bare minimum 80 more lb ft. I expect nothing under 450 hp. And if not for the interior on the C class expect the C63 to perform on a whole different level than the M3 and RS4.

How do you know the C63 will be a star? The C32/C55 really wasn't.

How do you know the IS-F won't? I don't think very highly of it, but we have no proof.

How do you know the new CTS-V won't? The old one was the first great high performance Cadillac in decades.

We know the M3 will be, though... that's a given.
