2017 Cadillac CTS-V - Redline: Review 

like people say, it's a corvette in a badass suit

@@mashedpotatoes209 RIP to the XLR 🥴 it would be crazy if Cadillac ever revived that

DevPack I love both it if you want track performance go cts v

DevPack Yeah, and reliability - CTSV

i dont worry too much about reliability. Once the warranty runs out its time for a new car.

DevPack good for you !

I will need for GM and Dodge to make some of their sedans have performance versions because I have a Malibu and I love it but I would like to see the SS, comeback in cars like the impala or the Cruze which was the cobalt SS, or the Malibu because those were bad ass just like this Cadillac.

chipchip yep to bad I’m broke

I have a plebeian 2016 CTS-4. It's still nice as hell.

Wait until Hennessy gets it's share

Forreal. I'll take a Caddy over alot of European models rn.

@@thebabbler8867 .

YTDC exposed my dad has it :)

YTDC exposed same

My grandpa got that car

Deffo shame I live UK and we dont get cadillac here I drive bmw f10

How? That's a ugly looking car and overpriced

Do you still have it? How do you like it after owning it for a while?

lucckkkyyy

Jordan Wendt my dad got one he upgraded it it’s freaking loud In the garage and it has 1000 hp

MB Garage well you don’t have to but he does have it

MB Garage how much hp does yours have then

MB Garage my dad has 1000

The CTS and the ATS were the 2 best cars that Cadillac made, and recplacing them will be hard.

TheHvk yooooo I had that same feeling 😂😂😂😂my stomach sunk !

Same thing when I’m on it with with my dad I keep looking at the road so I can get ready lmao

LOL

Brad James We thought so too. Really suited the menacing look of the car ;)

Redline Reviews Too bad it looses so easily to HELLCAT. Same goes for ZL1.

@Bigtruckseriesreview Motorsports your fucking drunk go home with your fatcat LMFAO

dotexe Black CTSV and ZL1 got GANG RAPED by Hellcats. RAPED ON CAMERA. The CTSV and ZL1 tried to scream, but they got banged mercilessly.

Bigtruckseriesreview Motorsports lol the white hellcat vs the white cts v? the dumbass was trying to manul shift the car which is slower than letting the car do it, and the John Hennessey roll race a manual vs a 8-speed auto? wouldn't really call that fair lol the first one i could give you as we can see inside the cts although it was shifting slow as hell, but the second is just plain unfair autos will rape manual all day long, its like putting a normal R/T against a 8 speed vette.

TheBigGuy3380 Dedicated winter tires. Problem solved.

Issa Vibez I mean they’re the same company lol. Cadillac reliable is terrible too if we being honest.

I'm 21... so I feel your pain!

IBENOUTMYMIND don't have kids note taken!

Getting one soon!! Definitely before i have kids lol, 21 & no kids yet🤘🏾🤘🏾

Yeah but you can't really compare any car to a tesla... I've seen drag cars that are illegal on the road get smoke by a tesla! Caddilac will eventually come out with an electric Version

Lol

Go to 20:30 and 25:58. Best part.

Nightbot yes and yes. Love to hear that supercharger whine...cannot be beat.

Supercharger power!!

*DrinkMoWater* yeaa...we can work somthing out-(slowly unbotton my pants)-

😰 ... What is the only way I avoid this next interaction. .... *AND SCENE* ...!!

*DrinkMoWater* *DrinkMoBeer* sounds better lol

Drink Mo Beer

DrinkMoWater tell u what let's go in half u get it 6months than my turn i'm down

Sounds like fun, we MAY not be able to get it done before the New Year though.

You paying for the premium version of the car you should get the premium system you clown

victor bozzo nice

😂😂😂😂

Vikk 54 We actually did upgrade of camera equipment this month and you should start seeing a change in the video quality in our upcoming reviews. A lot of the B-Roll footage you're seeing in this video is our new Sony A7IIR with our new zoom lens attached. We also just upgraded our action cam on the interior to the Sony XDR-3000V. Appreciate the tips, we'll be experimenting with the angle shoots for future reviews.

Chris Capaccio gotta pay to play! Lol

The Hillary motto.

Redline Reviews Very true! Keep up the great reviews Sofyan!!!

Anyone buying a 100k 650 HP car cares little about gas guzzling lol...

Well.. I mean they care, but it's not like how people think.. They actually try and get new pumps to allow it to guzzle more gas! More gogo juice more bald eagles!

Farman Shaikh lol me too , I want a lambo but I dont wanna buy one lol

DO NOT spill sauce for your McNuggets on suede lol

Kyron Baxter hahaha

I think you mean BRUSHED LEATHER!

Actually it's ultra suede which is the most washable and durable fabric upholstery that you can buy.

where have you been? German automakers have been touting "Alcantara" trim in their high end cars for years. It's basically suede.

Aaliyah Khim I agree the taillights are so lackluster

Aaliyah Khim they’re actually beautiful in person especially at night

Alexander Lao the visuals are sped up, you bitch

Looks normal speed to me and others :)

He has to keep up with the camera car

Sad but true. BMW isn't quite as sporty as they used to be, and Merc... unreliable doesn't begin to cover it. Audi is the only one that seems to be on top of things. I suspect the transmission on this new V may be less than stellar but you gotta love modern GM small blocks. Powerful, reliable, and easy/cheap to work on. I'll still have to drive one before I can say anything about the suspension. Previous V's weren't great in that regard.

+John Caldes japanese ftw! hehe

Tard129 BMW is shit.

Juliet Kunai No... just no. Japanese luxury cars just aren't fun to drive. And yes I'm including the Lexus F series in that statement (LFA excluded).

and they are way overpriced for the performance you get. The hp and handling being offered by American entries is really making German cars look like rip offs.

The CTS-V is a better car than the E63 S now.

+Propel 2015 - "It's not better than the 2018 E 63S according to it's performance data." I haven't seen anything yet that suggests the new E63 is faster than the CTS-V, or performs better in any way other than traction from a stop (AWD vs RWD). The CTS-V: - is lighter - has more power - has more torque - has superior magenride suspension - has a superior lightweight chassis - Is on one of the absolute best performance platforms on the planet (GM's Alpha platform) So if you'd like to specify which laws of physics the E63 will be breaking in order to be faster than the CTS-V, please go ahead and list them. Otherwise, I don't see how your argument has a leg to stand on. And please, don't bother mentioning 0-60 times. Any idiot understands that an AWD car is always going to be faster 0-60 than a RWD car, especially with 600+ HP. That's just a matter of traction, not performance. Then best E class ever built by Mercedes is still not going to be enough to beat the best performance sedan platform ever built by any company (GM's Alpha platform). If you doubt that, go ahead and look at lap times for any of the Alpha platform GM performance cars like the CTS-V, the ATS-V, and the 2016+ Camaro 1LE, SS 1LE, ZL1, ZL1 1LE. Mercedes has their work cut out for them, to put it mildly. And so far, they have not been making AMG cars that are up to scratch against GM's performance cars.

+Propel 2015 - "All that suggests is that it's a "Superior" straight line car and that's it about it just like all American muscle." That statement suggests you are entirely unfamiliar with how well the CTS-V handles. Go ahead and try to show me any E63 turning a better lap time than the 2016 CTS-V on any track in the world. When you completely fail to do that, then maybe you can explain what leads you to believe that the new E63 is somehow going to change that. The E63 is more of a muscle car than the CTS-V is. The CTS-V is better balanced than the E63, on a better chassis with less weight, better suspension tuning and vastly superior Magneride suspension. Here's an example. This is the latest E63 model available, since the 2018 model is not out yet. Note that this is an E63 S model specifically. 2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S-model - 3:00.1 2016 Cadillac CTS-V - 2:56.8 So I assumed it was a GIVEN that you understood that the CTS-V already outperforms the E63 S in any kind of track, lapping or handling comparison. Apparently I overestimated your intelligence. And your ability to look things up on google. "Mercedes will be fine as they always have been and they definitely don't need to look at GM's conglomerate line up of cars as a benchmark for fine automobiles." You keep telling yourself that as GM's cars continue to beat Mercedes' ass in the performance arena. Now answer my questions regarding which laws of physics the E63 S will be breaking in order to outperform the CTS-V.

The question is, how much will that merc cost? Twice as much? Three times?

I like mercedes but the E class is something that doesn't woth it at all against this thing , we have one but I want this Cadillac

Same here

Stop voting yourself up , goddamn it.

justin bouche are you a spokesperson for GM or something? You're on every video up their ass! Lol

Larry what are you talking about, and Vikk why do you follow me everywhere?

and wait a second, vikk you called me a Lexus fanboy last time... how can i be a GM fanboy if i am a Lexus fanboy O_o?

+justin bouche why do you have 11 accounts??!?!?!

my familys pretty well off m8 not that well of but im driving a sports car with 400hp at 17 lol.

and im prob the best 19 year old driver ull ever see drive a sports car in my area too lol.

Alright for 1 i bought my car so lets get that straight. 2 its a 50k chevy ss. I worked for everything i bought buddy.

R. C.P mine would

you would not buy a car over seatbelt reminder chime?

Sheth Jones No but for example ford has great bing bing sound...

ya but i think they nailed it in the most important peices of trim like that suede steering wheel and recaro seats. the cue system gets way more hate than it should. other than that theres asome cheap plastics like on the bottom of the door panel which is pretty much the same with every other manufactuer at the bottom of the door panel and then some plasitcs at the bottom of the center console. But ya the switches are crappy

but this car is all about the thrill when you put your foot down on that pedal.

Victor C. While AWD would make it more grippy, especially from a start, some may argue that it'll not be as fun and it will add a few hundred pounds to the car. Right now, the CTS-V is the lightest of the super sedans on the market. Only the GS F is lighter and it has significantly less power.

Victor C. Yes, the weight and when the modes are set properly, I've heard that it will hook up nicely on the road because of the Pilot Super Sport

But it's murican

Agreed.... A $90k vehicle should be a year round option. The Germans have it figured out--Even the next M5 will be AWD. America always playing catch up.

AWD is unnecessary. It's year round the way it is now. And as I see it, Germany is catching up - they haven't mastered Cadillac's quality or performance.

It's not. This car does everything well.

it's a large sedan... it's not meant to be a track car. It's meant to be a daily driver that is fast as shit and can tear up a backroad if you want

jahwangful $85,000 starting. This car is an extremely great bargain. Why would you say it is ridiculous?

R. C.P horsepower isnt everything lmao. You think this Cadillac will take on a gtr in a race?

K Az did you even read what he said? He said power AND features. The combination of both. Also, why the hell would you compare this to a GTR? Comparing a RWD luxury sports sedan to an AWD coupe? Really?

If BMW made this exact same car, they would charge $190,000 for it.

Tony Tsui The gap is getting smaller but the car is getting tremendously better every generation

Sonic Broom you can get red if you want.

you must not have seen many interiors. It is all black, but the materials and details are anything but cold.

Sheth Jones I prefer bright, warm wood tones and accents. This one is all plastic and cold metal.

Sonic Broom It is not all plastic! It's like you didn't even watch the video. The only pat that is plastic is basically the touch controls. Everything else is leather and nice metals. At least it doesn't look or feel cheap.

Rumoured Gaso I meant to say metal. Sure, it doesn't look cheap, but its hostile. Just my preference.
