2009 Cadillac CTS-V ought to lawfully bring in 556 horsepower
We contemplation Bentley’s announcement beforehand today which it is inserting a Speed ideal to the Continental Flying Spur lineup was inspiring to know for sedan fans. After all, a 600bhp saloon which can hit 60 mph in 4.5 moments and get through to 200 MPH is fairly exciting, no? Not in reality when put against to Cadillac’s info so the 2009 CTS-V plans to legally be rated at 556 horsepower, hit 60 mph in 3.5 moments and run the quarter mile in 12 moments flat. No offense to Bentley, but a sub-3-second sedan is right about as inspiring as it can get on a Monday. For the record, the Edmunds’ Straightline Blog reads who the sport sedan’s 6.2L supercharged V8 would give 556 hp at 6,100 rpm and 551 pound-feet of torque at 3,800 rpm. That engine is the LSA, derived based on what i read in the new Corvette ZR1’s LS9 motor and detuned for aim in the CTS-V. Fortunately, the LSA was not detuned too still and the ‘09 CTS-V is able to eliminate its
German competition, specifically the BMW M5 in on its - will not imagine we are declaring such a - pretty meager 500-hp 5.0L V10.
