Last year we had a very busy Detroit Auto Show (NAIAS). There were so many debuts I remember just being swamped for days after the event. It was MASSIVE.
And if you were to ask anyone about the BIG debut of the event, I think many would have said that the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 was pretty much the one to beat.
I mean, the company trotted out the 650 horsepower stallion out to an adoring audience. How can it get much better than that?
It seems that General Motors may be setting up round two. Coincidentally, it may also be related to last year's Z06. That's because the all-new Cadillac CTS-V is expected to appear for the first time. Although there hasn't been any official word as to what Cadillac will equip the next-gen V with, all eyes are on the Z06 motor as it's the only powerplant that makes sense and will give the V the significant boost it needs to run with the likes of the Audi RS7, BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and Porsche Panamera Turbo S.
Sure these vehicles all cost quite a bit more, but they also have similar power and performance figures.
So, what will the Americans do to outgun the competition this round? It seems that there's only one answer here. Are YOU expecting something else?
Detroit or bust, 2015!
