After revealing the V6-powered ATS-V Coupe and Sedan in LA last month, Cadillac is revving up its engines for the world premiere of the almighty 2016 CTS-V at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
Cadillac officials confirmed the news to Autoblog.com through an invitation to the firm’s press conference in Detroit, without releasing any other details about the car.
We’ve spied the new CTS-V sedan, which will likely launch as a 2016 model in North America, on multiple occasions, so we have a rough idea of what it will look like.
Most sources point to the use of a detuned version of the 6.2-liter supercharged V8 found in the new Corvette Z06 producing somewhere in the neighborhood of 600-horses paired to an eight-speed automatic driving the rear wheels, though, we’ve also heard rumors about the use of GM’s upcoming 4.5-liter twin-turbo V8 previewed on the Elmiraj Concept.
Either way, the new CTS-V will be a true powerhouse that will aim its guns towards the BMW M5 and Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG high-performance saloons.
