2014 CADILLAC CTS-V SEDAN EXTENDS HIGH-PERFORMANCE LEGACY
The 2014 Cadillac CTS-
V
Sedan extends the legacy of the landmark performance sedan
introduced in 2004. A supercharged 6.2L V-8 is the power behind the CTS-
V
Sedan,
delivering 556 horsepower (415 kW). It is backed by either a six-speed manual
transmission or a six-speed automatic.
A collection of technical and performance elements complement the powertrain,
including Magnetic Ride Control, Brembo brakes and Michelin Pilot Sport PS2
performance tires mounted on 19-inch forged aluminum wheels, as well as a track-
proven brake system with two-piece front rotors. They offer greater resistance to warping
and potentially longer rotor life, as well as reduced weight.
A unique grille that doubles front-end airflow to help enable its high-performance
capabilities is one of the
V
-Series’ distinguishing features, along with an aggressive front
fascia and raised center section of the aluminum hood that provides clearance for the
supercharger.
Continuous improvements have helped keep the CTS family at the top of customer
consideration lists and earned it critical praise. That tradition continues in 2014, as the
CTS-
V
Sedan offers four new exterior color choices: Phantom Gray Metallic, Mocha
Steel Metallic, Majestic Plum Metallic (available at an extra cost) and Red Obsession
Tintcoat (available at an extra cost).
The 2014 CTS-
V
Sedan is based on the same proven architecture as the CTS-
V
Coupe
and CTS-
V
Wagon. Please see separate releases for CTS Sport Wagon, Coupe and the
all-new 2014 CTS Sedan.
CTS-V Sedan design
The CTS-
V
Sedan exterior incorporates a number of unique cues that blend function
with aesthetics. The dihedral Cadillac grille, for example, is larger to enable more air
intake and features a satin finish, while the raised hood encompasses the supercharged
engine beneath it. The front and rear fascias, as well as a rear spoiler that houses the
center high-mounted stop lamp, are specific to the car, as are its standard 19-inch
wheels.
