Supercharged performance
The CTS-
V
’s 6.2L supercharged V-8 engine is rated at 556 horsepower (415 kW) and
551 lb.-ft. of torque (747 Nm). It is the most powerful engine in Cadillac’s history.
The engine features an intercooled Eaton Twin Vortices Series™ (TVS™) supercharger,
which employs twin four-lobe rotors that are twisted 160 degrees. Typical superchargers
feature three lobes twisted 60 degrees. The fourth lobe and greater helix profile, when
combined with unique air inlet and outlet ports, create smoother, more efficient airflow
into the engine. In addition to improved overall efficiency, this supercharger has superior
noise and vibration characteristics compared to more ordinary designs.
A pair of six-speed transmissions is offered in the CTS-
V
Coupe – a Tremec TR6060
six-speed manual with a dual-disc clutch and a Hydra-Matic 6L90 six-speed automatic
with steering wheel-mounted shift controls. The steering wheel-mounted controls require
no shift lever movement and allow immediate tap up/tap down gear selection.
Performance Algorithm Shifting provides the automotive transmission with a
performance-oriented shift pattern during sustained high-performance driving. As with
many Cadillac models, the driver needs only to slide the shifter into the manual “gate” to
put the transmission into a performance mode.
