2009 Cadillac CTS-V: Designed – and Priced – to Blow the Competition Away
Oshawa, Ontario (October 20, 2008) – Available this fall at Cadillac dealerships across Canada, the 2009 CTS-V combines the serious performance of an elite sports car with the poise and comfort of a luxury sedan. Following on its blistering track record at the famed Nurburgring the CTS-V is priced to race off the lots, with a starting MSRP of just $68,500.
“The 2009 CTS-V is Cadillac’s ultimate expression of performance and luxury,” said Marc Comeau, vice president of sales, service and marketing for GM of Canada. “While its track numbers speak volumes, we think that the comfortable transition from sport supercar to touring luxury sedan is what really sets the CTS-V apart.”
The CTS-V includes a suite of advanced performance technologies, including a new version of Cadillac's acclaimed Magnetic Ride Control suspension and a LSA 6.2-liter Supercharged V8 engine which propels the CTS-V from 0-100 km in less than 4 seconds – making it one of the world's highest-performing sedans.
The car retains the inherent characteristics of the acclaimed CTS itself, including a comprehensive array of safety features, well-tuned quietness and excellent road manners. The CTS is assembled at the quality award-winning GM Lansing Grand River Assembly Centre and is backed by a fully transferable, no deductible, 5-year/160,000-km powertrain limited warranty with courtesy transportation and roadside assistance on top of Cadillac’s 4-year/80,000-km bumper- to-bumper limited warranty.
