Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon Ready To Race Audi RS6 Avant

Cadillac will launch at the New York Motor Show  the  CTS-V Sport Wagon, endowed with 556 horsepower and ready to duel directly with Audi RS6 Avant.

The  New York Motor Show will mark the beginning of a new V performance family member  of  Cadillac. After the CTS-V CTS-V Sedan and Coupe, GM will give the public the new CTS-V Sport Wagon, the trunk extension of the performance range.

Cadillac proposed the same 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine, capable of developing 556 horsepower and a torque of 550 lbft, in another body. To achieve notable performances, the Detroit manufacturer has chosen a six reports  Tremec TR6060 manual gear but may optionally  offer a Hydra-Matic 6l90 automatic six gears transmission , and paddles mounted behind the steering wheel.

To keep control of the 556-horsepower, the driver has available a set of performance Brembo brakes, which joins the Magnetic Ride Control package, with substantial  role roadholding improvement and Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires.

“The CTS-V Sport Wagon is a natural extension of both the V-Series and the CTS lineup, offering an uncompromising performance car to enthusiasts who want the extra room of a wagon,” said Don Butler, vice president for Cadillac marketing.

The new CTS-V Sport Wagon will make its debut on the end of this year.
