Cadillac is GM's top of the line Luxury line up.
CTS Vsports is family sedan with lot of power under the hood as well as lot of styling. Its the upscale trim of the CTS sedan.
Compared to a BMW 5 Series, the CTS is anywhere from 200 to 400 pounds lighter.
This massive weight savings comes though the use of aluminum components throughout the entire body, including the doors, engine cradle, bumpers, pillars, instrument panel structure and shock towers.
competition is BMW 550i series, Mercedes E550 class, Jaguar XF, Audi A6, Lexus GS
2014 CTS is lower, lighter and leaner than its predecessor.
Brand-new, twin-turbocharged, direct-injected 3.6-liter V6 that pumps out 420 horsepower at 5,750 rpm and 430 pound-feet of torque at 3,500 rpm.
0-60 miles per hour in just 4.6 seconds.
This engine is mated solely to a new eight-speed automatic transmission with a sport mode and steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters.
The CTS Vsport features an electronic Limited-Slip Differential (eLSD) that optimizes torque split between the real wheels, allowing for precise steering feel, enhanced stability, and maximum traction through corners.
Cadillac has employed electronic sound enhancement in the CTS Vsport, allowing drivers to hear the roar of the 3.6-liter twin-turbo engine at different volumes depending on driving style.
Cadillac's system uses small microphones placed underneath the hood to then pipe-in engine noise through the car's audio system
CTS Vsport is easily better than anything offered by the Germans without a full-spec M or AMG treatment.
