2008 Detroit Auto Show: 2009 Cadillac CTS-V by Inside Line

http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/autoshows/detroit/2008/2009cadillacctsv.html

What's special about it?! Well, how about 550 horsepower? That's pretty special, wouldn't you say?

For those of you who haven't been paying attention for the last 10 minutes or so to the horsepower war raging among carmakers, this 550 hp means the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V's supercharged 6.2-liter V8 makes 43 hp more than the 6.2-liter V8 of the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG, 50 hp more than the 5.0-liter V10 of the BMW M5, 130 hp more than the 4.2-liter V8 of the Audi RS4 and a whopping 134 hp more than the 5.0-liter V8 of the Lexus IS-F.

It is a mistake. Its actually 556 hp. Not 550

The Cadillac CTS-V is American Luxury Performance. It ranks among the top five High Performance Sport Coupes in the Market Today.

i am trying to become an "american fan"...u know, i'm the type that hopes one day that american's can appreciate what they have instead of taking what those overseas have to offer..it's hard though... but this car has given me hope! it's street presance is glorious!!! it's really a hott car, and compared to the M5, it outperforms!

Its still kinda average looking - they are getting better tho. But we have a 620bhp V10 M5 coming and id like to see it try race the 580bhp twin turbo Lambo V10 RS6. Dont see it coming close.
