We’ve conjectured recently, given the surprise increase in the rated horsepower of the Chevrolet ZR-1, that the CTS-V might see more thatn 550hp in its fully certified form.

We are not disappointed.

Today, Cadillac has announced official power ratings of 556hp and 551 lb*ft of torque. The result is the fastest V-8 sedan on the market with a 0-60 time of 3.9 seconds, a quarter mile time of 12 seconds flat at 118 mph.

LLN has put together some interesting tidbits that confirms what we had heard for a while…that a CTS-V Coupe will debut alongside the more pedestrian model.

The details they’ve dug up are that the CTS-V Coupe (or whatever it will be called) will go into production at the end of May 2009, the same time as the non-V model.

This should mean we’ll see the production versions of both at the Detroit show in January and you should start seeing them at dealer lots sometime in the summer (assuming the May 09 date is for actual production and not pre-production).
