Sickest Caddy since the CTS-V! This thing not only looks good, it drives like a true 60k luxury sedan! And the interior quality is on par with what the Germans offer as well! Cadillac is now closer than ever to being a worthy competitor to the likes of Mercedes, BMW and Audi!

2014 CTS V-Sport 0-60 test times: Car and Driver: 4.4 Autoblog: 4.6 Motor Trend: 4.8 and 4.7 Edmunds: 5.1 Is it that Edmunds' test drivers just don't know how to drive or is Edmunds just BSing us? Did you guys at Edmunds think no one would check your numbers?

@CHUUMPASS 10 лет назад

Road and Track as well as Car&Driver both achieved the 4.4 second 0-60 manufacturer claim, so maybe you guys need to figuer something out. still it is crazy fast for what it is, and it handles and performes like a full blooded true sports car, considering what the CTS is, that is truly remarkable. the Cadillac's new V6TT also sounds burlier than the BMW N-gen V8s used in the 550 & Ms.

@ssr1680 11 лет назад

This Cadillac cts vsport is legit despite these two guys not really knowing how to accelerate the car.

@An3ggPlant1 11 лет назад

Honestly, I think this car is the winner in it's class. There isn't even a 6 cylinder luxury sedan that can compare, nevermind the future supercharged V8.

@BIGBADSPARTAN217 11 лет назад

did you guys switch the suspension to sport mode and rev it out to 4 g i bet you can get that number

@FourKidswithJ 10 лет назад

with high flow cats and a tune it's gonna be a monster.

@ssr1680 11 лет назад

The engine sounds great!

@Humaid316 11 лет назад

Informative video. Though it suffers from a lack of chemistry between the presenters but it's good! That title though makes it feel as if it was posted by mistake...

@dhan219 10 лет назад

This red car is a pre production model. MotorTrend tested and only got around 4.7. The black CTS they tested got 4.4 secs.

@TrAgedy3049 11 лет назад

Thats a nice Caddy id buy it

@OneManArmy4Life 11 лет назад

Great looking car! I know that the bmw 550i isn't as fun to drive as this caddy...

@DaRockWilder100 10 лет назад

WARMUP TIRES BEFORE DRAG OR 0-60 TEST!!!!!

@CHUUMPASS 10 лет назад

those wheels were put on for performance, a larger set of wheels&tires is optional and available, but this shown and tested manufacturer default set is the optimal choice for performance.

@soulcalibur22 11 лет назад

traction control off?

@v1sual3rr0r 11 лет назад

Not sure where you get these figures. The current crop of Caddies are pretty damn solid.

@v1sual3rr0r 11 лет назад

Because the old one was a V and this is V-Sport is a different trim level. They even say that in the video, this slots below the V... BTW the old V made 556 HP and this makes 420. Not sure where you got those numbers...

@fastech27 4 месяца назад

With Mag shocks Brembos brakes heads up display this this handles and stops my CTS non Vsport 3.6 still fun.

@lexusfan100 11 лет назад

i think some manufacturers give a full range of models. i think when new redesign came out pretty much all journalist had all range of 3 series to test out and reviewed about it.

@MaliciousSRT 11 лет назад

Does BMW and Mercedes give testers the 4 cylinder versions of the 5 series or E-class? One year Mercedes showed the AMG version before any of the others...lol (think it was the new CLS)

@CHUUMPASS 10 лет назад

conclusion, BMW has to give the "ultimate driving machine" up and hand that one over to Cadillac from now on. lords knows what will happen when the new V8 becomes available and the V model hits the scene.

@Slash396 11 лет назад

First off, it's funny you are going off of BMW's hp rating. Secondly, it's also very interesting that you are almost an entire second off of 0-60 times than not only what Cadillac claims, but what other magazines got.

@BoberMcBoberson 11 лет назад

Hmmm the other magazines got between 4.4 and 4.7 on 0 to 60.

@aluisious 3 года назад

They weren't launching it. If you're in track mode and hold the brakes and rev, the car will only let you do 2k RPM and it will come off the line kind of soft. You'd have to put it in Stabilitrack Competitive mode and figure out the launch RPM yourself. In that mode the car will do a burn out.

Best Interior combination at 5:44

@attcenter 11 лет назад

CTSV is going to be a game changer

@mikealanzo 10 лет назад

Does anyone know when the REAL CTS-V will arrive?

@TheHm3 11 лет назад

When's the ATS-V dropping? Or the ATS-Vsport? A 420 hp ATS if lightweight would be a monster.

@RMAGEDN740 11 лет назад

needs better tires?

@krackatony 10 лет назад

I just hope there will be a wagon version!!!!

@fatboy19831 11 лет назад

The BMW twin turbo 8 is very conservatively rated. It puts out more like 445 Hp at the crank.

@doverlabs 11 лет назад

Edmunds can't get a good 0-60? What a surprise. Are you running premium?

@ssr1680 11 лет назад

Roadandtrack got 4.4 0-60 mph quarter mile 12.7 seconds and Caranddriver got 4.4 seconds quartermile in 12.9 seconds so maybe you guys are off on your technique

@mterwill9 11 лет назад

It is pretty well know that the 550i makes quite a bit more than 400 horses. Germans seem to rate their horsepower numbers based on what you'll get at the top of Mount Kilimanjaro if its 110 degrees and you have been running the car hard for an hour already.

@MaliciousSRT 11 лет назад

No, its the happy medium between great handling and comfortable ride. 20's would just break your back...its still a Cadillac here, not a Camaro ZL1..

@kosmiken 10 лет назад

You did not even mention the fact they are using an all new (new to GM ) 8 speed automatic for gearing!! Don't you think that is a major leap forward that should not only be noted, but exclaimed with certain pride that it is Cadillac using this first and not the Corvette? just saying........

@AshtonCoolman 11 лет назад

Twin turbo V6 you say? Send it to AMS! I want to see an Alpha 9 CTS-Vsport ASAP.

@mterwill9 11 лет назад

The new models with the exact same engine have been "upgraded " to 445 hp. Not sure when the CTS-V will show up. Hopefully it will.

@adamhayden5152 Год назад

It’s not the exact same engine as in the ATS v and the ats v makes 464 yes they are both 3.6tt but internals are different and some other things are different

@ssr1680 11 лет назад

Caranddriver got exactly 4.4 seconds 12.9 in the quarter mile,you guys are doing it wrong.you suppose to use mild brake-torqueing as the revs build let of the brake,gas it

@The_Osprey 10 лет назад

They did and they got 4.5 0-60.

@mikealanzo 11 лет назад

Exactly what I was thinking when I heard the guy say 400hp, NO WAY, more like 440-445hp.... Does anyone know when the REAL CTS-V is coming!?!?!

@igeekone 11 лет назад

Dat title!

@flatblackstrat 11 лет назад

There is no old V-sport. There was the CTS-V, completely different car. This model still does not have the V trim level yet with a V8, on the V-sport trim.

@minibus1351 10 лет назад

This is not the CTS-V. This is the V sport. I don't know why they make the naming so confusing but the M5 competitor will come out later. This, when compared to Audi would be the S6, not the RS6. You see what I'm saying?

@askiani 11 лет назад

Michael Weston?

@sainig1996 10 лет назад

i wanna see motartrend do a test

@KipBurbank1 11 лет назад

I get it. The base CTS 3.6 is just too slow. The CTS V is crazy fast. They can use this power plant in the ATC and XTC. Add the V designation seems a bit optimistic.

@dhan219 11 лет назад

Motortrend Autoblog and Edmunds all used the same redesh car. Car and Driver had a different car that way silver that was quicker.

@soulcalibur22 11 лет назад

apology accepted :) i ordered mine already

@lexusfan100 11 лет назад

why did GM giving V sport to journalist for test drive..what about the normal CTS with no sport. how does that drive .i think most people will buy the normal sport right?? or is GM tryin to advertise just the V sport first

@bth2278 11 лет назад

Probably because you drove the piss out of it on the slolum and brake test and then did acceleration.

@SaturnFIV5 10 лет назад

This can't b the new ct-s V no way in hell! GM has something cooking up. We just haven't seen it yet.

@RNMAutomotiveAddiction 10 лет назад

Also 550i for 2014 has 445hp and as everyone knows all BMW engines are heavily UNDERRATED!

@Q8hardisk 11 лет назад

The old v-sport its 500 hp ..! How come the new one 442 hp ?

@amarrao95 6 лет назад

That was the CTS V, not V-Sport. Think M vs M-Sport.

@adriane6943 11 лет назад

The front of the old one looked bad but the back looked cool, now the front looks great but that backs looks bad idk just my opinion

@ZCherish 11 лет назад

You may want to learn the difference between braking and breaking a car.

@Cognetto 10 лет назад

Yep. V-sport not a V-series

@aconfusedazn 11 лет назад

Good video, but man, they got to work on better titles ;)

@loesch8102 10 лет назад

From now on every review should leave the default traction control setting on. 0-60, 1/4 mi, track test. Maybe then these stupid manufactures will allow you to change the default setting so every time the car turns on it doesn't default to cripple.

@Slash396 11 лет назад

First off, you should know the story before you make accusations. Second, all car companies do similar things like that. Third, GM provided all 3 engine choices to drive for the reviews. So if you don't like that fact you don't know anything about the other models, blame Edmunds, not GM.

@hen555 10 лет назад

including the weight of camera man?

@turab16 11 лет назад

With bigger tires and rims numbers could be even more better cuz 18inch wheels are like base wheel size

@tmw139 11 лет назад

Braking and acceleration, not breaking. Fire the editor.

@MTBgiant2009 10 лет назад

gm testing see level..michigan...probably higher...les air density so less power...simple

@avridaho 11 лет назад

Car porn is the real title

@RNMAutomotiveAddiction 10 лет назад

These 2 guys have ZERO charisma or personality, they might as well be testing refrigerators. Why not comment on the handling characteristics as you're driving around the track??? Even amateur reviews can do it!

@marc1093280 10 лет назад

The Vsport with the 3.6L TT V6 doesn't seem like much of a BMW 550i competitor. The BMW 550i has a 4.4L TT V8 capable of 445 HP, but BMW underrates their engines. The CTS is lighter, which helps though. A TT V8 sure can make way more HP than a TT V6. Seriously, BMW underrates the crap out of their engines, and they are also overpriced.
