At Cadillac, we’ve set out to create our own uniquely American breed of

extraordinary. It’s why we’ve created our own daring school of design that

pushes steel way beyond its comfort zone. It’s why we pioneered a suspension

technology so brilliantly effective that some of the world’s top supercars

followed our lead. Inspired and humbled by all the great cars that came

before us, we went all the way to Germany’s famed Nürburgring racetrack

to prove ourselves against—challenging, and ultimately surpassing—

Europe's most admired sport sedans.

RED-bLOODED. DARING. ORIGINAL.

These are the kinds of luxury cars we build. It takes tenacity, a refusal to leave

well enough alone. That is the difference between good and great.

That is the difference between just making luxury cars, and making Cadillacs.

WER E R O U N D E D O F F.No apologies. No caveats. Not an asterisk in sight. Just pure adrenaline on wheels.

Sharply creased lines cover a rear-wheel drive platform designed to deliver a bold

challenge to the world’s most revered sport cars. There’s little subtlety under the hood,

either—556 horsepower ready to respond to the slightest inclination of your right foot.

In the time it takes to ask “How fast is this?”, you’re already going 60 MPH. Every

beveled inch of the CTS-V is packed, not just with advanced technology, but advanced

technology that moves you in ways that aren’t simply measured in miles per hour. We set

out to challenge the world with the CTS-V Sedan. But as you’ll see, we didn’t stop there.

Nürburgring is the yardstick by which all production cars are measured, with

sweeping curves, varying surfaces, dramatic climbs and stomach-churning drops,

all complicated by weather that can change in a heartbeat. There may be other tracks,

but there is only one Nürburgring. It was here that we brought the CTS-V to challenge

the world’s best. Not only did we set the standard for production sedan performance, we

also brought a piece of the German ’Ring home with us. We recreated some of the most

demanding corners from the world’s most formidable racetracks to create the ultimate

test track right in our own backyard so we can practice every day.

The track is the ultimate proving ground. And the World Challenge Series is North America’s top

production car-based race series. By using a race car as a high-speed R&D lab, our production cars

can be fine-tuned, their components validated and their vehicle dynamics honed. Each green flag

provides an unforgiving environment that lets us know precisely how well our ideas are working.

Racing—it’s only the next logical step when you've set out to build the fastest family of production cars.

Gentlemen, start your celebration.

Seldom is a philosophy expressed so emphatically.

Start with the mesh grille, designed not only

for its aggressive look, but also for its ability to

efficiently channel more air to the intercooler

feeding the supercharged 556 HP V8 powerplant.

Its rear-wheel drive platform is backed by

a Nürburgring-tuned suspension fitted with

dual-mode Magnetic Ride Control that instantly

adapts to changing road conditions in the blink

of an eye. Assured stopping comes courtesy of

Brembo® six-piston front calipers and lighweight

dual-cast front rotors. And for maximum

acceleration performance, a no-lift-upshift

feature allows the driver to maintain

wide-open throttle during a shift to keep the

engine's supercharger at full boost—and the

engine at full power—when upshifting the manual

transmission. All in all, it's anything but subtle.

We started with a clean sheet of metal. We ended up with a one-of-a-kind performance

car that will never be mistaken for anything else on the road—ever. From its dynamic

design vocabulary to the advanced LED taillamps, the V-Coupe delivers a g-force-tempting

mix of exhilaration and pure performance. Any way—and anywhere—you look at it, it is

nothing short of a wolf in wolf’s clothing.

Available RECARO® front heated and ventilated performance seating adjusts 14 ways with pneumatic bolster controls and thigh extenders. Providing secure, confidence-inspiring support for both the driver and front-seat passenger, it was designed to fit you like a glove.

Step inside, and the V-Coupe greets you with the ideal balance of pure elegance and raw

exhilaration. The driver-centric cockpit features an ergonomic design that fuses car and

driver. Every control fitted perfectly to your hand; every dial meticulously designed and

placed precisely where it should be. Available sueded microfiber accents on the steering

wheel and shift knob offer the perfect amount of grip. Obsidian Black faceplates and

available Midnight Sapele wood trim add an appropriately dramatic finishing touch to

the interior for a car wielding 556 HP under the hood.

It will leave you questioning the laws of

physics. A 6.2L supercharged V8 engine

with 556 HP and 551 lb.-ft. of torque

propels the V-series from 0–60 in as fast as

3.9 seconds. Its supercharger incorporates

a twin 4-lobe rotor design that enhances

quietness while optimizing performance.

Additional engineering highlights include

high-strength aluminum pistons with

oil-spray cooling to enhance refinement and

durability and a center-feed fuel system

that delivers precise fuel volume whether

you’re casually cruising or on the track

with a wide-open throttle. Its sheer power,

quite simply, will take your breath away.

Performance this extraordinary should be shared.

With its audacious 556 HP supercharged V8

engine and a 3.9-second 0–60 MPH time,

this is the world’s fastest production sedan.

From its groundbreaking dual-mode Magnetic

Ride Control to its race-bred Brembo® brakes,

the V-Sedan features world-class levels of

performance. But with four doors and a spacious

rear seat, it means you can share the thrill of

its performance with four very fortunate friends.

From its boldly chiseled shape down to every exacting detail, the exterior of the CTS-V Sedan

was designed to purposefully enhance performance. Its chassis is lower by 10 mm in front and

16 mm in the rear compared to the CTS Sport Sedan to minimize air flowing underneath.

Up front, the bold fascia was designed with an integrated splitter to improve aerodynamics,

while vented ducts force-feed plenty of cooling air to the Brembo® high-performance brakes.

Even the 10-spoke 19" aluminum alloy wheels are forged for lighter weight, proving that the

CTS-V is driven by much more than just the potent engine lurking under the hood.

The performance of the CTS-V Sedan doesn’t end beneath the hood. Inside, we took the

same fearless approach to design and purpose as we did with the advanced engineering.

Available RECARO® seating provides secure back and thigh support to keep you securely

in place during spirited driving. Red LED tracers encircle the tachometer and flash at

the approach of engine redline. Even the available Midnight Sapele wood trim defies

tradition. With its distinct dark grain, designers deemed it a perfect match to harmonize

with performance-oriented features like the sueded microfiber seat inserts and available

microfiber accents on the steering wheel and shift knob. Also breaking with tradition is

the touch-screen navigation,1 incorporating an ingenious glide-up screen. It's the perfect

finishing detail where the unexpected is expected.

One glance clearly conveys the V’s serious intentions. Hunkered down. Confidently chiseled.

Every detail designed with purpose. And while it challenges the world’s most revered sport

sedans, it looks unlike any of them. Where others are content with generic soft, rounded

edges, the V brings its own edge. Even the headlamps and taillamps on the V make

a statement. Distinctively framed by bold LED light pipes, they launch a powerful opening

salvo and make a strong closing statement to an already unmistakable presence.

In the time it takes your brain to tell your eyes

to blink, the V-Series has read the road 10 times.

Adjusting almost instantaneously to the road

surface, camber and condition, Magnetic Ride

Control keeps the suspension dialed-in at all

times and on all roads. A unique combination

of sensors, as well as wheel and braking inputs

from the driver, cue the monotube dampers,

which adapt at the remarkable rate of 1,000

times a second. The system includes dual driving

modes—Tour Mode, for excellent handling and

ride quality; or more aggressive Sport Mode,

perfect for performance maneuvers at the

track. In either mode, chassis composure is

maintained without sacrificing a comfortable

ride. Added benefits include maximized traction

and excellent control of body movement.

It’s a suspension that’s so effective, it’s also

used by a few of the world’s top supercars.

We'll take that as a compliment.

Let’s just say it wasn’t exactly a rational decision. Applying the V formula to a luxury

sport wagon? Well, ideas usually don't get more bold or brazen than that. No other wagon

boasts the high performance credentials of a 556 HP supercharged V8 engine, Brembo®

multi-piston brakes and dual-mode Magnetic Ride Control. And its look is equally intense.

Integrated roof rails take the place of traditional bars to maintain the seamless profile.

Fast-acting signature vertical LED taillamps with light pipe technology extend up and

along the liftgate in back. Good thing, since this is the angle from which this 556 HP

wagon will most likely be seen.

the driver’s seat, and you’ll find 58 cubic feet of versatile, cargo-ready storage with the rear

seats folded flat. The interior is also designed to help the driver pilot an extremely powerful

machine. Full instrumentation with an LED-traced tachometer and speedometer, and

available RECARO® power-adjustable front seating are a few of its performance-oriented

features. Floor rails are fitted with attachment points for tie-downs, an absolute must

in any wagon that can go 0–60 in 4.0 seconds.

At Cadillac, we believe the best way to survive

a collision is to avoid one in the first place.

Active safety begins with a responsive engine,

powerful brakes, and an agile suspension;

to these we add the StabiliTrak Electronic

Stability Control System, an advanced antilock

braking system (ABS), and all-speed Traction

Control. But when a collision can’t be avoided,

we’ve engineered a rigid body structure

and strategically engineered crumple zones.

Peace of mind that also comes with six airbags1

and one year OnStar2 Automatic Crash Response

standard for one year. In a crash, built-in

sensors in your vehicle can automatically

send an alert to an OnStar Advisor who can

use GPS technology to send help to your exact

location. It’s a lifeline to help. Even when you

can’t ask for it.

A b O U T T h i S CATA LO GWe have tried to make this catalog comprehensive and factual. We reserve the right, however, to make changes at any time, without notice, in prices, colors, materials, equipment, specifications, models and availability. Specifications, dimensions, measurements, ratings and other numbers in this catalog and other printed materials provided at the dealership or affixed to vehicles are approximates based upon design and engineering drawings and prototypes and laboratory tests. Your vehicle may differ due to variations in manufacture and equipment. Since some information may have been updated since the time of printing (11/11), please check with your Cadillac dealer for complete details. Any variations in colors shown are due to reproduction variation in the printing process. Cadillac reserves the right to lengthen or shorten the model year for any product for any reason, or start and end model years at different times. Note: Some photographs in this catalog show vehicles with optional equipment.

O N STAr OnStar services require vehicle electrical system (including battery), wireless service and GPS satellite signals to be available and operating for features to function properly. OnStar acts as a link to existing emergency service providers. Subscription Service Agreement required.

E N G i N ES Cadillac products are equipped with engines produced by Gm Powertrain or suppliers to Gm worldwide. The engines in Cadillac products may also be used in other Gm makes or models.

T i r E S EA L A N T A N D C O m P r ESS O r k i T There is no jack or spare tire in this vehicle. Your vehicle has a tire sealant and compressor kit that uses a liquid tire sealant to temporarily seal up to a 1/4-inch puncture in the tread area of the tire. After using the inflator kit, it is recommended to take the tire to an authorized dealer for inspection and repair as soon as possible but at least within 100 miles of driving. The tire sealant cannot seal and inflate sidewall damage, punctures larger than 1/4 inch, or a tire that has unseated from the wheel. The sealant can only be used on one tire one time before its expiration date.

ASS E m b LY Cadillac vehicles and their components are assembled or produced by different operating units of General motors, its subsidiaries or suppliers to Gm worldwide. We sometimes find it necessary to produce Cadillac vehicles with different or differently sourced components than originally scheduled. Since some options may be unavailable when your vehicle is assembled, we suggest that you verify that your vehicle includes the equipment you ordered or, if there are changes, that they are acceptable to you.
