Walk-around the CTS-V Sport Wagon with Cadillac’s head designer

May 10, 2010 - 11:22 am

Despite every indication that Cadillac will be lucky to sell a few dozen of these a month – they have decided to help promote the upcoming CTS-V Sport Wagon with this walk around with their head designer.

That said, this is the one of the most balls-y moves Cadillac could make – putting this package on the wagon.

Enjoy.

CTSV WagonToday, Cadillac made it official…

The CTS-V Sportwagon is heading our way.

Packing the same aggressive looks of the V-series CTS’ we’ve come to know and love, but with the sleek looks and cargo-hauling capability of the Sportwagon body-style. The V-wagon goes into production in late 2010 with initial sales in North America with Europe and the Middle East to follow.

Here you see the show car version that Cadillac will be putting on display at the New York auto show. Of note is the Midnight Silver paint, first seen on the Cadillac Sixteen Concept.

Expect sales to start by the end of 2010 as a 2011 model with pricing to match that of the CTS-V models already on sale.

Press release below.

With this much power, it should be no surprise that they are claiming 3.3 second 0-60 times with a top speed of 211 mph.

Note: Hennessey also offers V600, V650, and V800 packages for the CTS-V.

Below, you’ll find their video showing their take on the V doing its thing:
