Cadillac ‘Madam V’, 2020 (1948), by Ringbrothers. An update of their 2016 Cadillac restomod, this one combines the bodywork from a Cadillac Sixty-Two Club Coupé with the platform, suspension and 464hp twin turbo V6 from an ATS-V. In fact it took four donor cars to create the new Madam V, two 1948 coupés, a 2015 and a 2016 ATS-V and more than 1,000 hours of labour

Meet the 2020 CT4-V 🇺🇸 ______________________________________ [5/30/19] Cadillac has launched the all new CT4 sedan first in its V Guise which really is like a “V-Sport” trim as we are waiting on the next higher trim of the V hierarchy with more power and performance. So this new CT4 replaces the ATS and I think it looks really good… except the rear is a bit too quirky. 🔥[@Allcarnews Spec Sheet] Powering the CT4-V is a odd choice, a 2.4L turbo Four cylinder that is found in GM pickups and makes 320HP and 369 lb-ft of torque paired to a 10 speed gearbox to either the rear or all four wheels. Keep in mind the outgoing ATSV made 464HP from a TT V6. In its current form, the CT4-V should compete with the Audi S3 and A35 AMG 🔥 Cadillac has said this new CT4 chassis offers 50/50 weight distribution and the CT4-V gets Brembo brakes, the next generation of Magnetic Ride control, a limited slip rear diff, a new V mode dial, and sportier gauge clusters, wheels and seats. Now for the general CT4 styling…..The front looks pretty unique and good albeit the Caddy badge is a tad too large for the grille. But the rear just doesn’t fit the car in this Blue, I actually like it as its rather unique and looks good with the quad exhaust tips. The interior also looks much better on the CT4 than on the CT5, possibly because everything is tighter and smaller overall. The Standard CT4 will be unveiled soon. ________________________________________ ACN EXTRA: Is this a big disappointment to you all??

L’inspirante Cadillac CT4-V !

Le 18 novembre 2020

Comme je l’ai annoncé la semaine dernière après mon essai de la Cadillac CT5-V, cette semaine sera une suite logique du reportage de la semaine dernière alors que je vous transmets mes impressions sur la Cadillac CT4-V. Mais avant de débuter, telle ne fut pas ma surprise de lire l’article d’un jeune journaliste que je respecte concernant la CT4 dans un grand journal montréalais de dimanche. Il considère la CT4 une de ses grandes déceptions de 2020.

Malgré tout le respect que je lui dois, je me demande si nous avons conduit la même voiture. Car, dans mon cas, j’ai été enchanté de la CT4 dans sa version de performance V. Il faut dire que j’en suis l’évolution depuis son dévoilement à Detroit il y a deux ans! De plus, j’ai conduit l’auto pendant une semaine tout de suite après la CT5. Plus ironique encore, je ne suis pas nécessairement un amateur de Cadillac (je possède deux Lincoln) et qui plus est, je suis de l’âge où l’on devrait rechercher des Cadillac! Mais, je vous le dis tout de suite, ce n’est pas la Caddy qui aurait fait rêver votre père, ni même votre grand-père!

Au départ, il faut dire que cette petite berline de Cadillac a toute une tâche à accomplir. En effet, elle est la seule de souche nord-américaine à se mesurer à des icônes comme les Mercedes-Benz de Classe A, les Audi A3 ou les BMW de la Série 2. Évidemment, elle n’affiche pas le style de ces voitures européennes mais plutôt un style bien à elle quoique inspiré des autres Cadillac. On y voit même des ressemblances étonnantes avec la CT5. Mais les deux autos sont vraiment différentes. Toutefois, rassurez-vous, cette fois, Cadillac n’a pas répété son erreur des Cimarron des années quatre-vingt (des horribles autos basées sur une coque de Cavalier sans grande finition!). Déjà, je dois vous dire que c’est même mieux que les ATS qui les précédaient. Cependant, vous aurez compris que la direction que Cadillac prend avec ses versions V (incluant la finition Blackwing à venir) est inspirée des exploits en course de la grande marque américaine. Encore le weekend dernier, Cadillac a remporté le trophée du constructeur de l’année de la série IMSA Weather Tech Sports Car Challenge avec ses prototypes à moteur V8 central! Les CTS du passé ont aussi écumé les circuits routiers américains il y a quelques années dans les divisions de voitures de production (saviez-vous que Cadillac avait déjà participé aux 24 Heures du Mans au début des années cinquante?).

La «petite» Cadillac CT4-V est plus impressionnante qu’il n’y paraît. (Photo Éric Descarries)

Je vous laisse juger de vous-mêmes des lignes de la CT4-V. Moi, je les trouve modernes sans les exagérations que l’on voit sur certaines autos asiatiques. Elles représentent bien l’ADN de Cadillac sans obligatoirement copier ce qui se fait ailleurs.

Même de l’arrière, la CT4-V a toute une présence sur la route. (Photo Éric Descarries)

Plusieurs observateurs ont noté que l’intérieur de la CT4 manque de panache. Jusqu’à un certain point, c’est vrai. Mais cette fois, Cadillac ne nous offre pas un intérieur surchargé de chrome et de faux-bois (ce que ces mêmes observateurs reprochaient à Cadillac dans le passé!). Il est donc sobre mais demeure relativement bien fini. Le tableau de bord n’affiche pas une ligne remarquable mais tout y est bien disposé alors que l’instrumentation (numérique reproduisant des cadrans ronds) y est claire et précise. J’ai bien aimé, encore fois, l’affichage du compteur de vitesse en réflexion à l’intérieur du pare-brise! On peut le neutraliser si l’on n’aime pas! Moi, je trouve que c’est un élément de sécurité important. Le conducteur retrouvera le levier de changements de vitesses à la console (un peu large, je l’avoue).

La Cadillac CT4 ne présente pas un tableau de bord très «design» mais tout y est bien disposé. (Photo Éric Descarries)

Les sièges ne sont pas tant élégants qu’ils sont pratiques avec des supports latéraux solides. Ils sont chauffants ou ventilés alors que le volant est chauffant. Et celui-ci permet une bonne prise! Quant aux places arrière, elles sont confortables mais comme c’en est le cas pour toutes (ou presque) les berlines de ce créneau (incluant les sacro-saintes européennes), l’espace pour les jambes des occupants peut être relativement limité (alors que la CT5 procurait beaucoup de place!). Enfin, le coffre est quand même respectable. Évidemment, il s’agrandit en abaissant les dossiers des sièges d’arrière.

Les dimensions extérieures de la CT4 ne lui permettent pas d’offrir autant de place pour les jambes à l’arrière que la CT5. (Photo Éric Descarries)

En ce qui a trait à la mécanique, la CT4 de base arrive avec un quatre cylindres de 2,0 litres qui n’est certes pas un foudre de guerre. Toutefois, la CT4-V est livrée d’usine avec un quatre cylindres de 2,7 litres turbocompressé (originalement conçu pour la camionnette Silverado mais qui fait très bien dans la petite Cadillac…de tout façon, de nos jours, la plupart des moteurs de camionnettes viennent de voitures et vice versa!) qui développe pas moins de 325 chevaux ce qui n’est pas loin des 360 chevaux de la CT5-V !  La boîte de vitesses auto de la version de base est à huit rapports mais la CT4-V a droit à celle à dix rapports! De base, toutes les CT4 sont à propulsion (ses concurrentes sont à traction) mais la V que j’ai conduite était à traction intégrale, un choix que je crois sera unanime parmi les acheteurs de la marque (et qui sera très utile en hiver). Je ne peux malheureusement pas vous parler de la version Blackwing qui n’est pas encore dévoilée (plusieurs observateurs croient que celle-ci aura l’ancien moteur V6 de 3,6 litres turbocompressé de l’ancienne CTS-V mais moi, je m’attends plutôt au V6 turbo de la CT5-V avec un peu plus de puissance…). La suspension est indépendante aux quatre roues alors que le freinage se fait via des disques aux quatre roues avec la technologie Brembo à l’avant.  

Pour le moment, le moteur le plus puissant de la CT4-V est ce quatre cylindres turbocompressé de 2,7 litres. (Photo Éric Descarries)

Sur la route

C’est ici que mes opinions doivent différer. J’ai conduit les deux Cadillac l’une derrière l’autre. Alors que je n’ai pas été impressionné outre mesure par les 360 chevaux de la CT5-V, le quatre cylindres de la CT4-V m’a beaucoup plu. Ses temps d’accélérations de 0 à 100 km/h approchaient ceux de la CT5 tournant autour des six secondes alors que les reprises étaient plus qu’amusantes. Il est vrai que le son du quatre cylindres est plus rauque que celui du V6 mais le «petit» moteur m’a tellement paru plus vivant, plus agile que je ne peux que le vanter. Incidemment, ce même moteur est beaucoup plus silencieux en vitesse de croisière! Il faut dire que la boîte à dix rapports a beaucoup contribué à la sensation de «sportive» que la CT4-V m’a procurée. Les gros pneus Continental 235/35R19 ont fort probablement contribué à la bonne tenue de route de la CT4-V dans les virages serrés des petites routes où je l’ai essayée. Quant au freinage, inutile de vous dire qu’il m’a paru très puissant !

Au niveau de la consommation, j’ai obtenu une moyenne à la pompe (selon mes calculs) de 10,94 l/100 km alors que l’ordinateur de bord indiquait 10,6! Très près et fort possiblement équivalent à ce que la concurrence m’aurait donné!

Une berline Cadillac CT4 V-Series débute à 45 398$. Celle qui a servi à ce reportage incluait des options comme un toit ouvrant de 1295 $, un ensemble Technologie de 1350 $, une sellerie perforée de 1845 $, une illumination avant d’appoint de 475 $, des étriers de freins Brembo avant de 685 $, des jantes spéciales de 3062 $. Ajoutez à cela l’ensemble audio Bose et le système de navigation de 920 $, l’ensemble d’avertissement Driver Awareness de 925 $ et l’aide à la conduite de 1425 $ (en plus de la taxe d’accise de 100 $ pour la climatisation et les frais de transport et de livraison de 2100 $ et on obtient une facture de 59 580 $ …plus taxes! Ne manquait plus que le système de conduite automatique Super Cruise!

Je suis demeuré avec une bonne impression de cette «petite» voiture que je n’ai pas hésité à recommander à un de mes amis qui y était intéressé (il vise plus la version de base mais avec la traction intégrale). C’est fou comment beaucoup de gens croient qu’il faille éviter les autos américaines pour des raisons quelque fois débattables. Dans le cas de la CT4, surtout dans sa version V, je ne vois pas pourquoi on devrait la dénigrer face à sa concurrence étrangère. Je crois que cette «petite» Cadillac est enfin la bonne réponse de Cadillac à cette concurrence !

À venir, la Kia K5

La semaine dernière, j’ai eu l’opportunité de conduire un peu en «avant-première» la nouvelle berline K5 de Kia, une «grande» voiture intermédiaire qui remplace maintenant la Kia Optima (née Magentis) avec laquelle j’ai couvert quelque centaines de kilomètres durant la même journée. C’était, bien entendu, en vue du vote à l’AJAC pour le titre de Voiture de l’Année (il n’y aura pas eu de TestFest ou Festival des Essais cette année, COVID oblige). J’ai bien aimé ce que j’y ai vécu mais je préfère garder mes opinions pour un reportage après une semaine complète avec cette auto. Ce sera certes pour les semaines à venir…

La nouvelle Kia K5 présente une ligne plutôt moderne et surprenante pour une berline de cette catégorie. (Photo Éric Descarries)

Kurz gefahren | 2020 Audi RS5 Sportback - Streber

Der Audi RS 5 Sportback hat für das Modelljahr 2020 eine ordentliche Überarbeitung bekommen. Glücklicherweise hatten wir die Gelegenheit den Ingolstädter im Rahmen einer besonderen Aktion von Jan Gleitsmann am Bilster Berg testen zu können. Zwar nur kurz, aber ausreichend für einen ersten Eindruck. Der Audi RS5 Sportback hat als Limousinenvariante wenig Konkurrenz. Der ewig etablierte BMW M3 darf als Referenz herhalten, die ewig hinterhechelnden Jungs von Mercdes-AMG schmeißen den C 63 in den Ring. Als Exot hat Alfa Romeo mit der Giulia QV ganz großes Kino bewiesen. Ansonsten haben sich Cadillac mit dem ATS-V, Jaguar mit dem XE Project 8 und Lexus mit dem IS-F leider von der Bühne der kompakten Performance Sedans verabschiedet.

2020 Audi RS 5 Sportback | Fanaticar Magazin Besonderes Alleinstellungsmerkmal beim Audi RS 5 im Gegensatz zu Konkurrenz ist hier der serienmäßige Allradantrieb "quattro". Das nimmt zwar ein wenig den Kick in Kurven, sorgt dafür aber für satte Traktion und kann somit auch bei schlechteren Wetterbedingungen freudig voran getrieben werden. Von Frontlastigkeit ist nichts zu spüren, selbst mit hohem Kurvenspeed fressen sich die Pneus willig in den Asphalt und lassen einen spüren, dass noch ausreichend Sicherheitsreserven vorhanden sind. Optisch hat der neue Audi RS 5 Sportback sich dem grantigen RS 6 und RS 7 angepasst. Besonders die neue Lichtsignatur der Matrix-LEDs lässt den neuen RS 5 Sportback nochmals dominanter werden. Auch die angedeuteten Luftschlitze oberhalb des breiteren Singleframe-Grills gehören mittlerweile zum guten Ton. Dazu gibt es 40 Millimeter mehr Breite an den Radhäusern, neugestaltete Schweller und einen neuen Diffusoreinsatz. Passt!

Beim Interieur ist direkt Wohlfühlen angesagt. Der technisch kühle Look weiß einfach zu gefallen. Die Instrumente sind gut positioniert, die Haptik ist wie gewohnt ohne Fehl und Tadel, das Infotainment-System ist mit MIB3 auf dem neusten Stand. Weitere Neuerungen sind größere Schaltwippen, eine neue RS-Anzeige sowie eine neue RS-Taste am Lenkrad. Per Knopfdruck verwandelt sich der RS 5 Sportback vom entspannten Dressman in eine Performance Maschine. Und so kommen wir wieder zum (viel viel viel viel zu kurzen) Fahrerlebnis mit dem Audi RS 5 Sportback. Der 2,9 Liter Bi-Turbo hängt gierig am Gas und lässt die 450 Pferde fröhlich galoppieren. Das maximale Drehmoment von 600 Nm wird dabei von einer Achtstufen-Tiptronic im Zaum gehalten. 100 km/h sind in 3,9 Sekunden erreicht maximal sind 250 beziehungsweise optional 280 km/h drin.

2020 Audi RS 5 Sportback | Fanaticar Magazin Fazit: Die Fahrt war kurz aber der erste Eindruck war überzeugend. Zwar sehe ich den M3 fahrdynamisch immer noch an der Spitze, jedoch ist der neue Audi RS 5 Sportback mit seiner besonderen Spreizung zwischen exzellenter Alltagstauglichkeit und exzellenter Fahrdynamik schon mächtig im Rückspiegel am drängeln. Man hat immer ein wenig das Gefühl, dass hier ein echter Streber am Start ist, der nichts anderes will als den Thron zu besteigen. Und das in einer Perfektion und einem Ehrgeiz die besonders bei den Schwaben noch lange nicht zu sehen ist. BMW hat derzeit also eigentlich nur einen echten Konkurrenten im Heck und der hat vier Ringe.

One Week With the 360-HP 2020 Cadillac CT5-V

“The Cadillac CT5 is one of those cars that I can’t recommend to people shopping in this class,” I said during our last Car of the Year discussion. “I just don’t see anything special or attractive here.” Pretty much everyone agreed the Cadillac didn’t have a chance of moving forward as a finalist. It simply didn’t handle like its predecessors, the ATS and CTS.

A few months later, my colleague Jonny Lieberman got to drive the 2020 Cadillac CT5-V during its launch in Palm Springs and came back stunned. “This thing drives fabulously,” he wrote.

So when I took delivery of the CT5-V, my expectations were still low. Not that I don’t trust Jonny, but my personal experience with the non-V was nothing extraordinary.

The CT5-V changed my mind.

But before I tell you why, let me reiterate what the CT5-V is doing here. It is essentially replacing the CTS V-Sport, not the CTS-V. The 2020 CT5-V will compete against the Audi S4, BMW M340i, and Mercedes-AMG C 43. It’s sort of in that middle bracket—more powerful than the base, but not the high-performance variant. Of course, with the nomenclature Cadillac has adopted, it looks silly going from the CTS-V with a supercharged V-8 and 640 hp to a CT5-V with a twin-turbo V-6 and 360 hp. But that’s the game Cadillac decided to play. We know, however, that the recently announced CT5-V Blackwing is coming soon and that car will fully replace the CTS-V. When exactly that high-performance variant is coming, we still don’t know. But maybe next year.

2020 Cadillac CT5-V: The Drive

Powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V-6 with 360 hp and 405 lb-ft of torque, the CT5-V feels quick. There’s plenty of power for a car this size, and as a result you get a sporty experience at the wheel. Simply press down the throttle, and you’ll hear an artificial roar coming from the rear speakers as your back is pushed against the seat and the speedo’s needle rises. Whether you’re in the corners or on the freeway, the CT5-V is a fun car to drive. Based on the Alpha 2 platform, which is the evolution of the Alpha platform that served as the base for some Car of the Year winners like the CTS and Chevy Camaro, the CT5-V brings the sportiness that we missed on the regular CT5. The steering is very direct and precise, and with the 10-speed automatic sending all that power to the rear wheels the drive becomes even more fascinating.

That 10-speed automatic is the one co-developed by GM and Ford. The gearbox is quick to shift and pretty smooth, and when you press down the throttle, it will downshift immediately. All-wheel drive is available on the CT5-V, but we’d recommend staying with the rear-wheel drive, as it’s fun and sportier.

What’s even better is the suspension. We’re big fans of the MagneRide dampers, which make the ride sporty when it needs to be, but comfortable when you want it to be. I stayed in Tour mode for the majority of the week, as I was driving in the city most of the time. The ride was cheerful yet composed, and I never felt beat up by the suspension. The ride is a bit stiffer in Sport mode, but it was still comfortable.

Interior

Things didn’t change much in the interior compared to the regular CT5. Like other GM products, the CT5-V’s cabin design is bland. Our tester’s black-on-black interior lacked wood or any other contrasting trims, but we like the carbon-fiber trim on the door panels.

Unlike the Germans, who use different badges to remind the occupants that they are riding in a performance vehicle, Cadillac avoided placing V logos all over the cabin, but left the interior unchanged from the regular CT5. To me, that seems like a missed opportunity. Not because I like logos all over the interior, but because there’s not a single indication that this is a special model. Cadillac doesn’t even offer cool options for the interior, like red or cognac leather, which we’ve seen in Audis and BMWs. For a brand that’s trying to attract younger buyers, those details matter.

One of my favorite features is the standard 10-inch touchscreen, which is equipped with the new infotainment system that’s easy to use and quick to respond. The screen is standard across all CT5-Vs and supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. The navigation system has new graphics that look similar to Google Maps, and you can use it just like your smartphone—pinch to zoom or drag your finger to move the map around.

I found the optional Bose premium audio system to be phenomenal. Music, even when you stream it, sounds crisp and sharp. The color head-up display was also practical and reminded me to slow down when going through a school zone.

Safety

It’s a shame Super Cruise isn’t offered in the 2020 CT5-V. Reportedly, 2021 models will get it, and per our previous reviews, it’s worth the wait. We’re sure Cadillac will charge more for Super Cruise than what it currently charges for the Driver Assist and Advanced Security package ($1,950), but it will be worth it.

In terms of standard safety techs, the CT5-V includes rear park assist, rear cross-traffic alert, forward collision alert, blind-spot monitoring, and automatic emergency braking. To get adaptive cruise control, you must get the aforementioned $1,950 package, which is a bummer given that you can get a $20,000 Honda Civic with that technology.

Conclusion

Our loaded 2020 Cadillac CT5-V came with a $61,540 sticker price, including almost $13,000 in options. That price falls right in line with a loaded rear-wheel-drive M340i (although the BMW has a much higher starting price), but it’s lower than a loaded S4. Are you getting a lot of bang for your buck? Yes, if you don’t check all of the boxes. And given that there’s only one trim for the CT5-V, you won’t be giving up anything in terms of performance.

The CT5-V really changed my mind from my bad impression of the CT5 we drove at Car of the Year, and that’s a good thing for Cadillac. As a performance car, it brings a lot to the brand, but we can’t wait to find out what Caddy has in store for its new high-performance sedan that will truly replace the mighty CTS-V.

Cadillac CT5, 2020. The new mid-range sedan that replaces the ATS and CTS has been revealed ahead of its presentation at the New York auto show next month. It will be powered by 2.0 L4 turbo and 3.0 V6 twin turbo engines. The CT5 introduces Cadillac’s new torque-based naming system

The Cadillac CT4-V and CT5-V Blackwing will have manual transmission options 2020 Cadillac CT5 V Fresh off of a win at the Daytona 24-hour race, Cadillacs underscoring its sporty side by bringing back the manual transmission in its CT4-V and CT5-V Blackwing cars, says a report from Muscle Cars and Trucks.The vehicles will be built on GMs new Alpha platform, which underpins many of the brands upcoming vehicles. The architecture lets a manual transmission fit behind more than just one engine, too.The list of engines that will connect to that manual transmission is dwindling, however, with the announcement Cadillac would be dropping the 4.2-litre twin-turbo Blackwing DOHC V8.Instead, the slack will be taken up by the supercharged 6.2-liter LT4 V8 that weve seen in previous generations of the Corvette. While the 6.2-litre will make 650 horsepower, the Blackwing V8 made just 550 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque. The CT5-V Blackwing will enjoy the larger V8, while the CT4-V Blackwing will be happy to receive the old ATS-Vs 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6, producing 464 horsepower and 445 lb-ft of torque. Paired with the manual transmission, the vehicle is essentially an updated version of the 2015 CTS-V. Base model CT4-Vs will receive a 320-horsepower four-cylinder.Were sad for the demise of the Blackwing V8, since it was a real game-changer in the pushrod-V8 saturated market, but at least a manual transmission coupled to a 650-horsepower engine will soothe our

Novo Cadillac CT4 parte de US$ 33.990 no mercado americano

A GM está apostando alto no Novo Cadillac CT4, um sedã de porte médio que a marca de luxo americana espera bater de frente com os luxuosos alemães e chega por um preço menor que o anterior ATS, custando a partir de US$ 33.990 ante US$ 35.495 do antigo sedã.

Além de ser mais barato, o CT4 é maior que o ATS, sendo feito sobre a plataforma Alpha II, que é uma atualização da base usada no Chevrolet Camaro atual e no Cadillac CT5, irmão que tem porte superior. Com 4,775 m de comprimento e 2,776 m de entre eixos, o luxuoso quer ser a porta de entrada da famosa nos EUA.

EXCLUSIVE: 2020 CT4 Spied 🇺🇸 ______________________________________ [6/10/19] Now we have already seen the new CT4 in its V form but we have yet to see the base CT4 and how it will differ from its higher performing brother. Now we have exclusive spy shots of the regular CT4 from @puppiesnmuscles ! Unsurprisingly it looks very similar to the quicker CT4V without the quad exhaust tips, sportier tires and well that mostly it! The regular CT4 is expected to launch this year before going on sale next year as a 2021 model and will go head to head with the likes of the 3 series, G70 and A4! 🔥[@Allcarnews Spec Sheet] We can expect a 2.0L Turbo to power the non V CT4 with around 237HP and 258 lb-ft of torque. Powering the CT4-V is a odd choice, a 2.7L turbo Four cylinder that is found in GM pickups and makes 320HP and 369 lb-ft of torque paired to a 10 speed gearbox to either the rear or all four wheels. Keep in mind the outgoing ATSV made 464HP from a TT V6. In its current form, the CT4-V should compete with the Audi S3 and A35 AMG 🔥 Cadillac has said this new CT4 chassis offers 50/50 weight distribution and the CT4-V gets Brembo brakes, the next generation of Magnetic Ride control, a limited slip rear diff, a new V mode dial, and sportier gauge clusters, wheels and seats. Now for the general CT4 styling…..The front looks pretty unique and good albeit the Caddy badge is a tad too large for the grille. But the rear just doesn’t fit the car in this Blue, I actually like it as its rather unique and looks good with the quad exhaust tips. The interior also looks much better on the CT4 than on the CT5, possibly because everything is tighter and smaller overall. Expect pricing for the baae CT4 to start around $34k-$35K. ________________________________________ ACN EXTRA: Will the CT4 be more of a success than the outgoing ATS?? ________________________________________ - - Text Copyright: @Allcarnews Spyshots by: @pubertyhit.s #Cadillac #CT5 An #allcarnews post #V6 #CTS #ATS #USA #CTSV #BMW #3series #XT4 #CT4 #hothatch||#powerful #performance #turbocharged #advanced #SupercarsRevamped #Supercar #HyperCar #ItsWhiteNoise #GM #MadWhips #manual #Carstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/ByjEx3phVT8/?igshid=29ecg4jmug5e

These Cadillac CT5-V and CT4-V Prototypes Give a Glimpse at the Real V-Series Models

Cadillac is showing a glimpse of the upcoming hard-core performance versions of the CT5 and CT4 sedans.These models are more track-oriented and should pack significantly more power than the recently revealed 355-hp CT5-V and 320-hp CT4-V.These cars are likely to wear some new version of the V-Series name to designate their place at the top of the lineup, but we don't know what it will be.You may have been disappointed by the middling specs of the new Cadillac CT5-V and CT4-V, but Cadillac promised that higher-performance versions of these two sedans were coming-and now it has the receipts. A pair of prototypes hit the track at the Detroit Grand Prix this weekend to give a first look at the true replacements for the outgoing CTS-V and ATS-V. While Cadillac still won't say what these next-level CT5-V and CT4-V, they certainly look like serious performance machines. In contrast to the mild tweaks applied to the CT5-V and CT4-V models shown last week, these new variants boast significantly more aggressive body kits, additional vents and scoops that seem to be for cooling purposes, and bigger wheels, tires and brakes. We hear from onlookers at the Grand Prix that the CT5-V's engine note suggested V-8 power-likely Cadillac's 4.2-liter "Blackwing" V-8 with more than 500 horsepower-and the CT4-V sounded like some sort of V-6-we're thinking it will be a carryover twin-turbo 3.6-liter V-6 from the ATS-V.

As far as names, we'd wager a guess at something like "CT5-V Plus" or some other suffix to signify that these cars pack a bigger punch than the 2020 CT5-V and CT4-V that are meant to sit on a lower rung of the performance ladder. Those already revealed V-Series cars equate more closely to previous Cadillac models that wore the now-defunct "V-Sport" moniker, while the yet-to-be-revealed prototypes you see here are the true replacements for the outgoing CTS-V and ATS-V we knew and loved.We will keep an eye out for more information on these new V-Series models, which should make their official debuts later this year.

Caddy says new V-Series' horsepower is lower because drivers were 'intimidated' The 2020 Cadillac CT5-VGraeme Fletcher / Driving.ca As we recently covered, the new 2020 CT4-V and CT5-V have arrived with upgrades across the board, except for in the power department. That’s down, but why? According to statements made by GM president Mark Reuss and reported by Automotive News, people were scared of the gobs of horsepower in the last V-Series, so the company is pulling back a bit for this new generation to make them more appealing.   There was, frankly, some people who were intimidated by the cars, Reuss said following the unveiling of the cars last week. When we did a V-Series, they were hammers. There's some intimidation there. Those “hammers” included the CTS-V, which claimed 640 horsepower from its supercharged V8 and topped out at over 320 km/h; and the ATS-V, whose twin-turbo V6 made 464 horsepower and could push the car to 304 km/h.   In contrast, the new V-Series CT4-V makes 320 horsepower from its turbocharged four-cylinder, while the CT5-V gets 355 from its turbo-six. So, yeah, they’re less intimidating now, perhaps hinting at a detuned CT6-V on the way, too (its 550 horsepower will no doubt be too scary for drivers, as well). Meanwhile, Cadillac has been testing a pair of track-ready V-Series prototypes that Reuss says “represent the next step in Cadillac’s V-Series performance legacy.” It’s expected the track-approved CT4-V will house a 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 with 400-plus horsepower, and the matching CT5-V either a twin-turbo
