The official Cadillac website has gone live with the 2016 Cadillac CTS-V configurator, including prices for each and every option to be outfitted. Now, you can spend your pseudo-dollars on your perfect 2016 CTS-V, and even teeter with the idea of taking a second-mortgage. Or, maybe you’ve been better at saving your pennies than we have.
Cadillac lists the 2016 CTS-V sedan starting at $85,990, but there are plenty of options to see that number rise like mercury in a thermometer on a hot summer day.
Crystal White Tricoat and Red Obsession Tintcoat will tack an extra $500 on, should you choose either premium paint hue, and two extra wheel choices, finished in After Midnight premium finish, will run you another $900. Ah, but then the real options sheet opens up and scares our checkbooks.
Stepping into the luxury package means another $1,600, and includes tri-zone climate control, a power-rear sunshade and more. The carbon-fiber package will have you coughing up an extra $5,500, which handles much of the 2016 CTS-V’s track-pack goodies such as the carbon-fiber spoiler, hood vent, rear diffuser and more.
All in all, building our perfect, no frills 2016 Cadillac CTS-V totaled up to $100,530 before taxes, title and fees. That figure includes the Recaro sport seats, red-Brembo brake calipers, the Performance Data Recorder system and the UltraView sunroof. And no, there’s still no manual option. Eight automatic speeds of fury will be the only thing shifting the super saloon this time.
But, if we look at value, $85,990 gets you General Motors’ fastest production car currently available. And you can brag to all of your Corvette friends about that nugget of information.

Would be Very Nice to have a Link that goes to the Configurator!! 😉
I just checked out the configurator. Loaded with all of the options the V comes out to $102K. HA! I don’t see Cadillac getting very far with this vehicle, even at the $85K base price. There really isn’t any novelty to it… Especially when you can get a Hellcat Charger, with EVERY available option, for like $15K less than the base V!
I have been tracking the new V with extreme anticipation for the last 18 months. When the official specs were released, I was beyond disappointed. I was expecting the magic mark to be 725HP… Hell, I’d consider dropping the type of cash they are asking for now if the powerplant was producing north of 700HP, but knowing there is an option out there that is “arguably” just as nice AND quicker/faster for a lot less money, just…well… Good luck Cadillac.
You just compared a dodge to a Cadilllac?
You do understand that right.
I know. That’s really demeaning to the Dodge.
While I get that the Hellcat is cool, fast and cheaper than the CTS-V…it is not, nor ever will be a Cadillac!! Sorry Austin, but if you are a true fan of great cars…you’d see that the CTS-V will hold its own in the future classic muscle car arena WITH the Hellcat. Personally…I’d take a loaded CTS-V any day over a Dodge! Now if I could just get my figures in place to get mine loaded and in Red of course.
Waste of time making a V when the regular CTS is selling beyond terribly
Pricing is disapointiing. Cadillac is displayingpure greed. A used bently or porsche would be more than adaquate for most. Even a BMW v-10 would be good. At the price asking its been dropped from my list.
There is no comparison. Hellcat is completely overpowered, and being a Chrysler product, has a strong engine and poor build quality. So, while it will light the tires at 100 mph, the power windows will stop working at 50,000 miles.
I’m going to buy a CTS-V, but not a new one. 2009-2013, less than $40k for a low mileage one
Agree w/ Robert ….Cadillac CPO on current generation off lease/traded CTS-V’s ….a reputable auction unit….or wait until Caddy puts money on the hood for what will become an inventory concern once the 16’s hit the dealerships.
For the difference in $, a visit to D3 Cadillac will get you comparable HP and torque through accepted/ proven mods and technical applications.
Too bad the sport wagon is history and apparently sold out as a new unit…if Caddy $ are put on a wagon (if located) it could be the purchase of the century ( to date)
If only I lived in the world of the top 1% that will buy one of these . The majority of these cars will tool around the race track and then end up being trailer queens . And in a couple years you will see them driving across the auction block at Mecan . Definitely not an everymans car . Or like a previous post stated wait a couple of years and buy one because it will loose 30% of its price in the first year . Thats not my opinon but an article I read recently .
The black rims are missing and the butt looks old. I like the car though, might buy it.
