Production Ready Super CTS-V

http://www.autonews.com/apps/pbcs.dl...27014/1003/SUB

Looks very mean with those huge tires and fender flares. Should put a few german uber-cars to shame. Any guesses on pricing?

Re: Prosuction Ready Super CTS-V

I think the CTS is among the best looking cars on the road right now. But those fender flares look really out of place and tacked-on.

Re: Prosuction Ready Super CTS-V

The fender flares look kind of awkward compared to the rest of the car but the meaty tires in the rear do look aggressive.

Re: Prosuction Ready Super CTS-V

Various people have said that this car is testing either the next CTS or Camaro, or Blue devil powertrain (like the Cormaros). Either way the CTS V+ ain't happenin' this generation.

Re: Prosuction Ready Super CTS-V

I think that when you have cars like the CTS with available 600HP the world will spontaneously explode.

Yeah guys, that is more likely to be the next Camaro than a super CTS.

Re: Prosuction Ready Super CTS-V

I'd like to see this 427 LS7 live on. CTS, GTO, Camaro sound like good candidates. An Escalade V with this engine and 6 speed auto would be cool too.

Re: Prosuction Ready Super CTS-V

I want that car badly!!! That would put all mid size luxury cars to shame, and probably the new Skyline GTR we have been hearing whispers of.

Re: Prosuction Ready Super CTS-V

Before I clicked on this thread I kept trying to figure out what "prosuction" meant

Re: Prosuction Ready Super CTS-V

The car sounds like a lot of fun, but prosuction sounds like it could be even more fun

Re: Prosuction Ready Super CTS-V

I find it odd that for the CTS-V will be putting out more HP than the STS-V. When do the next gen Northstar/Ultra engine debut?

It will happen but first a few things.

The car in question is not a "Super V" series.

The car in question will never be sold retail.

Third, the CTS V will have more ponies than the STS but only for a short, short while.

Remember, no car will ever out power the Corvette however Cadillac will be the most powerful luxury brand for sale in the U.S. and eventually abroad.
