Official - LSA Cadillac CTS-V Rated at 556HP Official specs: 2009 Cadillac CTS-V makes 556 horsepower
Supercharged 6.2L LSA V8
556 HP at 6,100 RPM
551 lb.ft. of torque at 3,800 RPM
0-60 MPH in 3.9 seconds
Standing quarter mile 12 seconds flat
Top speed 175 MPH with the six-speed auto
Top speed 191 MPH with the manual transmission
Fastest ever recorded time for a sedan on the Nurburgring
We knew what to expect, but now the specifications for the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V are official. Its 6.2-liter supercharged V8 produces 556 horsepower at 6,100rpm and 551 pound-feet of torque at 3,800rpm. Cadillac claims the CTS-V sedan will go from 0-to-60mph in just 3.9 seconds and through the quarter mile in 12 seconds flat.
Top speed when equipped with the six-speed automatic transmission is limited to 175mph. Get the six-speed manual and you’re free to run all the way to 191mph. Looks like Lutz’s declaration that the CTS-V will put the BMW M5 on a trailer are right – at least according to Cadillac’s numbers.

This car is going to be a sweet ride. I drove a regular (new) CTS with the direct injection VVT 3.6L V6 and it was great, I can't imagine that same awesome package wrapped around another 250+ horsepower!
