Cadillac's All-New 2009 CTS-V Ready For Launch
DETROIT – The 2009 CTS-V, Cadillac’s 556-hp expression of ultimate performance and luxury, begins production this month with initial sales beginning around November 1. The latest in the brand’s V-Series of high performance models, the new CTS-V is intended to reach the top of the world’s most desirable luxury cars, at a starting price of $59,995 in the US market.
“The launch of the new CTS-V presents a compelling proposition for luxury and performance enthusiasts,” says Mark McNabb, North America vice president, Cadillac/Premium Channel. “The CTS-V is a strong statement about Cadillac design and technology and a new member in the club of the highest performing luxury cars.”
The CTS-V, based on Cadillac’s critically acclaimed CTS sports sedan, expresses the full extent of the brand’s dramatic design and technology. Designed to enter the stratosphere of the world’s fastest and most exclusive luxury sedans, CTS-V includes advanced performance technology such as a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine and Magnetic Ride Control, the world’s fastest reacting suspension.
The new CTS-V comes standard with a nearly complete collection of features, including a hand-crafted cabin, a 6-speed manual transmission and a Bose surround sound system with a 40-gigabyte hard drive with a USB port. In addition there are a few options available, including a new 6-speed automatic transmission with steering wheel mounted shift buttons, 14-way adjustable Recaro performance seats, microfiber interior accents and a large “Ultra-View” sunroof.
“Along with the new Escalade Hybrid, the CTS-V is a key aspect in Cadillac’s ongoing renaissance, with dramatic designs and very sophisticated technologies for luxury consumers,” McNabb said. “These two new high-tech Cadillac models pave the way for a series of new Cadillac models coming in 2009, including the upcoming CTS Sport Wagon and SRX Crossover.”

EXCELLENT price, considering that it doesn't come with German Stupid Tax (AKA Mercedes/BMW options), is +50HP on the best of its competitors, and probably has a better interior (did I just say that?)

60 grand almost fully equipped. That's a steal! I mean a steal I can't afford, but a steal for people who can!
It's a bit faster in a straight line and through turns than the BMW M5, probably way less expensive to maintain/repair, starts at $25 grand less than the M5 and while the M5 comes better equipped stock than the regular 5 series, if you add on a few options that are included on the CTS-V it jumps up to 90k... 30 grand more expensive than the CTS-V!

Hardly.
Z06 does 60 in under 4 seconds.
CTSv is mid 4.
Top end is 198 in the Vette. It's 191 in the CTSv.
This still takes nothing from the fact that the CTSv is one of the planet's quickest (accelerating) and almost certainly the fastest (top speed) regular production sedans.
