The Cadillac CTS-V is the most powerful Cadillac the company has ever built. Using the same LT4 V8 engine sourced from the manic Corvette Z06, the Cadillac CTS-V puts down 640 horsepower, and 640 lb-ft of torque.

Cadillac’s renaissance began when the company introduced the CTS-V in 2004. It was a signal to the rest of the world that Cadillac was back in the luxury business, and that it wanted to compete head to head with the likes of the Germans.

When announced, the LT4 sounded like it was the Chevy motor to end all Chevy motors. It had 650 horsepower, 650 lb-ft of torque, and sounded like an angry thunder god exploding in the night as you pushed harder and harder on the accelerator.
