Cool new 2009 Cadillac CTS-V (500+ hp monster) spotted in the wild !


http://www.ctowners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18

Pretty cool I wonder if this is a dealer car or something?
And what's with the black wheels??

My favorite angle on this car. 500+ hp under that bonnet. Drooool.

That thing is crazy, what's it packing under the bonnet? The body style is crazy though, not really feeling it, but it doesn't matter. 500 hp is really nice That's a lot of chicken wire though...

From what I understand, and I may be wrong. The CTS-V will get a 6 litre supercharged engine while the Z-06 (for a fact) get's a 7 litre (427 ci) N/A engine.

You're right 6.2 litre supercharged. i.e. not the Z-06 engine.
