Turn up the volume and squelch your eyes (seriously, what’s with these pinched video formats?) to enjoy this spy video of the upcoming Cadillac CTS-V from the folks over at KGP Photograhpy.

Blame Cadillac’s not so well thought out naming strategy, but let’s just reiterate that the CTS-V is the flagship performance version of the series, which will reside on top of the existing CTS V-Sport that draws 420hp from a 3.6-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine.

It has been said that the new 2016 CTS-V will probably borrow the 2015 Corvette Z06’s 6.2-liter supercharged V8 in a different state of tune, which should bring output somewhere in the 600hp range to compete with the rest of the super saloons like BMW‘s 560hp M5 and Mercedes-Benz’s 577hp E63 AMG.

It’s hard to tell from the video and the included still shots, but it does look like the CTS-V will get a different aero-treatment for the front and rear ends than the lesser CTS V-Sport.
