In testing today at Germany's Nurburgring, Cadillac's upcoming new 2009 CTS- V completed a lap of the legendary Nordschleife in 7:59.32. This blistering time appears to be the fastest ever publicly documented for a production sedan.
Cadillac is nearing the completion of testing for the highly anticipated CTS- V , the limited-edition high-performance model based on the award-winning CTS sport sedan. John Heinricy, executive with GM Performance Division and an acclaimed racing driver, piloted the CTS- V through its sub-8 minute lap. The car itself had no performance modifications outside of those planned for consumer production, which is scheduled to begin this fall.

@smalltownpros Well, ZR1 did a lap driven by a prof. driver and with special semi-slick track tires, Enzo was driven on stock road tires by a car journalist. Enzo is really hard to drive, its a hardcore car. Driven by a prof. driver who can take it to its limit and with track tires like ZR1 had, Enzo could probably lap Nurburgring in between 7:00 and 7:05.

@SilentShadow7r7 7:26.4, to be precise. The ZR1 is a pretty goddamn fast piece of kit.
Check my favorites if you wanna see.

that is CRAZY considering the ENZO did it just over 7:25. Look it up, you will be shocked.
