You have to wonder what the folks at Cadillac have against the Germans. Not the German people, but German automakers. The 2016 CTS-V is Cadillac’s second unadulterated assault on Bavarian high-performance sports sedans, following the launch of the 2016 Cadillac ATS-V earlier this year. The CTS-V’s spec sheet alone should …

Cadillac introduced its first high-performance V-series car in 2004, based on the 2003 CTS sedan. The CTS-V eventually became available in station wagon and coupe versions, but until now, however, the only other Cadillacs to have brandished the elusive “V” badge were the also-elusive XLR-V and STS-V.
