American Luxury Cars - 05 - 2013 Cadillac CTS-V
The 2013 Cadillac CTS-V is by far the performance standout of the American luxury car scene. The Cadillac CTS-V takes the mid-size premium platform and beefs it up with a track-ready suspension system and the availability of Recaro seats to hug driver and passenger through the turns, and under the hood rests a whopping 6.2-liter, supercharged V-8 engine. The 556 horsepower and 551 lb-ft of torque it produces allows the CTS-V to reach 60-mph in just 4.3 seconds (when equipped with its six-speed manual transmission), which is quick enough to successfully face off against its AMG and BMW M rivals.
