Well Done GM, Well Done

2017 Cadillac CTS-V – Four door Corvette

Yes, and it is under the hood. A place that is enriched with Corvette Z06 heart, which translates to 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 engine rated at stunning 640 horsepower and 630 pound-feet of torque. Enough to propel large sedan in 3.7 seconds to 60 mph and it could go as far as 200 mph. It is sufficient to rip apart M5 in the straight line which is 0.7 seconds behind when it comes to acceleration. Still, it is old M5, and since Merc’s E63 S AMG is 0.3 seconds faster than Caddy, new Bimmer is surely going to stick to Merc’s numbers.

The mentioned unit is paired with 8-speed automatic gearbox, which offers sublimely quick changes, and it’s also borrowed from the same source as the engine. If someone has a better source for the loan in his mind, feel free to tell us. Fuel efficiency is at, considering the situation, still acceptable 17 mpg combined.
