Default New CTS-V track test VIDEO

Modified Luxury & Exotics

We recently had the chance to test drive the new 556hp CTS-V on the full road course at the brand new Monticello Motor Club in New York State and it’s easy to see why the car holds the official record lap for a sedan around the Nürburgring.


The car takes to the corners with finesse and when you’re sitting in the Recaro driver’s seat, with the Alcantara-coated steering wheel in your hands, it’s easy to forget that there’s a row of seats behind you and two more doors.

With the car in Competition Mode, the traction control comes off and the Stabilitrac is significantly toned down. There’s still a little electronic intervention but it’s all very smooth and you hardly notice it.

The brakes really are phenomenal too!

With a stunning interior and a comfortable ride, it’s also the perfect luxury sedan. We spent several hours driving the car on public roads and the ride quality was superb. But enough about public roads, the real fun came on the track. Ride along with MLE as we take the most powerful Cadillac ever built for a rip on the full track at the Monticello Motor Club. Enjoy… we certainly did!
plus, more laps with the auto tranny

We have an '08 CTS 3.6L DI, can't wait to drive one with a V8 under the hood. Even the V6 car is excellent and fun to drive.
