Upcoming 2009 Cadillac CTS-V Records Sub-8 Minute Lap Time: Video

GM is nearing the completion of testing for the highly anticipated Cadillac CTS-V. It is a limited-edition high-performance model based on the Cadillac CTS sport sedan. In a recent test at Germany’s Nurburgring, a six-speed automatic (not manual) Cadillac CTS-V lapped the 13-mile track in a record time of 7:59.32. This blistering lap-time however, is still about 40 seconds short of what Nissan's GT-R set earlier this year.

John Heinricy, director of vehicle integration and a celebrated racing driver, piloted the CTS-V through its sub-8 minute lap. The General Motors is quick to point out that the car was equipped exactly as the production model will be and no modifications were made to aid in its exemplary performance.

The 09 model Cadillac CTS-V is powered by supercharged 542bhp 6.2-litre LSA V8 petrol engine making 550 pound-feet of torque at 6,200 rpm. The same unit is doing service on new Corvette ZR1 as well but there it is tuned to produce mind-boggling 638 hp horsepower. CTS-V will come with a choice of 6-speed manual or automatic transmissions and a slew of technological and engineering advancements including a new version of Cadillac’s Magnetic Ride Control (MRC) suspension, paddle-shifting, and the Performance Traction Management (PTM) system. PTM allows drivers to fully exploit the car's power by instantly matching its delivery against current traction availability.

Cadillac CTS-V production is scheduled to begin this fall and will go on sale in the UK early next year. Till then check out its fastest lap-time video below.

2010 Cadillac CTS Wagon Spy Photos

The long-rumored GM's sports wagon codenamed internally as the GMX 206, the Cadillac CTS Wagon prototype is for the first time caught by spy photographers. It's a four-door and appears to have the same footprint as the CTS sedan. The protoype is expected to be unveiled by GM in September at this year’s Paris Auto Show.

Reports suggest that Cadillac will build only a few thousand units of the CTS station wagon at the GM's Michigan plant. The new Wagon is aimed mainly at Europe, where the market is much larger than it is in US. It is expected to come loaded with the 304-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 that powers the toplevel 2008 sedan. GM will start building the Cadillac CTS luxury wagon in the Spring of 2009 and it will act as a replacement for SRX which is going to be phased out by first half of 2009.
