2014 Cadillac CTS Caught Running Around The ‘Ring (Video)
6
One of the biggest issues with today’s Cadillac CTS isn’t its performance credentials; it’s a great handler. Rather, it’s the 250 horsepower gap between its 3.6L V6 engine and its 556 horsepower LSA V8 found in the CTS-V. To some, that amount of power is overkill, and at nearly $30,000 more than the base model, the V can also be over-budget.
So, for the 2014 model year, Cadillac plans on offering a more appealing choice of engines, with a nice filler in-between the base and still-everything-but-official-next-generation-V-model: a twin-turbo V6.
While little is known about the output we will find in such a vehicle, we have been tipped that the new engine will produce roughly the same amount of power as an LS3 small-block V8, at roughly 430 horsepower. Sounds like a perfect medium if you ask us.
The video below features the next-generation Caddy making some serious headway around Germany’s Nürburgring, making us all very excited for next year when the gen. III CTS is expected to launch.

this car is going to be great, I can know it.
Will the cts-v wagon carry over to next gen cts-v?
do you mean 318hp 3.6L?
255hp 3.6L ending in 2007 when the 2nd gens came out and the 3.6 got DI and 304HP, now with the modified intake plenum and added aluminium and other weight savings it produces a nice 318.
haha never mind. Reading comprehension took a second.
I think this is just the regular CTS instead of CTS-V since the V form would have a lot of body kits
Will the twin turbo V6 be offered with AWD? If so, i’m sold.
