Edmunds got slightly worse times out of their CTS, Car & Driver got slightly better.

Love that car.

Audi S6 0-60 is 4.7s according to their own website, not the ridiculously fast 3.9s claimed in the article. There's no way a 4400lb car with only 420HP is going to match a ZL1 - gimme a break!

Someone in my town just traded their CTS-V for a ZL1. Man, is that a sweet looking ride!

Edmunds blows at 0-60 times.

lol 4400 lbs. Where'd you find that number?

Subtract 400 pounds. This isn't a Camaro.

1. S6 is putting 360-370HP to the wheels
2. AWD launch control
3. DSG shifting

Although a PITA to do at a stop light, if done properly they do rocket off the line. But look at the trap speed - they aren't pulling much past 60mph. From a roll, they're nothing special and on a track even less so.

Ah gotcha. I thought he was talking about the CTS.

Mr. iNCREDIBLE · 09-16-2013, 05:22 PM

not a fan of the redesign, I love the look of the 2nd gen CTS especially the coupe.

the interior is very nice though, hopefully a precursor to what the 6th Gen Camaro interior might be

Did I miss something or since when has the CTS-V been a Twin Turbo?

FenwickHockey65 · 09-16-2013, 05:31 PM

CTS Vsport. Not CTS-V.

I wonder how much is left in this motor with just a tune? I'm guessing it will gain some but not nearly the same as the ecoboost from ford. Can't wait for someone to add full bolt-ons,race gas and slicks!!!

You missed the 'sport' after the V. Cadillac has a new performance/trim level called V-sport, modelled after the Lexus F-sport and BMW M-Sport lines. It slots in below the V series, bridging the gap between the high horsepower monsters and the more modest every day offerings.
