Ever since I heard the new 2009 Cadillac CTS-V would have a version of the ZR1 Corvette engine I was hooked. I can just picture my Grandpa blowing the doors off of every BMW and Mercedes in sight. That would be hilarious! The new CTS-V is a serious automobile. It recently posted the fastest lap time at the Nurburgring in Germany

The facts are that the all-new 2009 CTS-V is a supercharged, intercooled instigator with all the aggressive exterior styling and interior refinement that makes a Cadillac a Cadillac. Performance tuned on Germany’s famed Nurburgring, the CTS-V has been precisely engineered to shatter any outdated perceptions about American performance sedans.

Half an hour ago, I was bouncing off the rev-limiter at full throttle in third and fourth gear, passing all of them on the wrong side of a two-lane mountain road. I guess that Cadillac considers the 556 HP, 191 MPH 2009 Cadillac CTS-V so fast that drivers — even professional car reviewers — won’t be able to fully exploit its engine on the road.

CTS-V Lead Development Engineer Chris Berube talks about the 24-hour testing he and his team performed on the "V" at the GM Proving Grounds in Milford, MI. As Chris points out, the 24-hour test provides a final probe testing of the car before it goes into production under high-stress conditions.
