Not much more here than a photo of the run by MT Editor Angus MacKenzie – leading into their coverage of Cadillac’s announcement of the non-V being sent to dealers…but do you really need another excuse to see a CTS-V Coupe doing its thing?
We didn’t think so.

The Attainable Exotic
Exotic car, super car, race car, sports car – all have specific meanings in autodom. Many bring with them expectations of performance and price, often with associated meanings that pertain to how difficult they are to live with as well as expense to acquire and maintain. The common makers that come to mind include Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini. However, there is a sub-genre of sedans and coupes from more mainstream luxury makes that take a somewhat pedestrian car and elevate it to something more. Done conservatively, you end up with something akin to the classic muscle car – a big engine stuffed into a a small package. Done with skill, you get something that transcends anything you might expect and becomes an exotic in sheep’s clothing. The CTS-V is one of the latter.
The CTS-V starts as an off-shoot of Cadillac’s mid-level CTS product family, but ends up both as an exotic that you could drive every day and the one true flagship product sold under the ‘wreath and crest’ today.
We were able to drive the CTS-V Sedan twice recently, once during the Rocky Mountain Driving Experience event (where manufacturers allowed journalists to ride and drive, some in controlled racing environs, several of their products) and then again for a weekend of dedicated testing…yes, I know, sucks to be us.
