Cadillac has been around for decades, and throughout its time, it was exclusively known as a luxury car manufacturer with some of the best options you could get on an American car. It was a no-brainer when Cadillac introduced the expensive-looking Cadillac CTS in 2002, replacing the outgoing Cadillac Catera model. What was a surprise was the introduction of the Cadillac CTS-V variant of the regular CTS. The V in the CTS-V stands for "Victory," a direct competitor of the likes of the "M Division," Mercedes-Benz AMG, and the likes. In fact, the CTS-V was created to compete in the luxury high-performance market against the BMW M3/M5, thus giving the American crowd an all-American option compared to the Europeans available at that time. While the CTS-V ended production in 2019, it is still a highly sought-after car, as with this 2012 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe, with only 19,000 miles on the odometer and has a few aftermarket upgrades.
Exterior and Interior
The 2012 Cadillac CTS-V coupe is a true sleeper car; it does not take the aggressive stance and looks approach to distinguish itself from the standard CTS; it even looks more refined than the latter. A palette of color options was available for buyers, and this CTS-V sports an Opulent Blue Metallic finish, which adds to its allure. Cadillac turned to nondescript to showcase its prowess from the front slightly bulging hood, front lip, side functional vents, and the center of the rear located dual chrome-finished tailpipe tips. Chrome trim is used throughout the vehicle in a very tasteful way that adds character to the car, while the 19" Satin Graphite finished wheels add a contrast. Backing the wheels are silver-finished brake calipers with the "V" logo etched onto them. Cadillac's experience in luxury vehicle manufacturing is evident throughout the Light Titanium leather interior. The front and rear seats come with the Cadillac Wave Crest Badging finished in chrome. The interior uses black as the upper half of the dash trim, along with white contrast stitching. A premium sound experience is provided by the Bose 5.1 surround sound system. The sunroof features a tilt to open feature, augmented by power sunshades.
Engine
While the interior speaks of luxury, the highlight of the 2012 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe is the 556hp spewing supercharged 6.2L LSA V8 engine coupled with a 6-speed automatic transmission that propels the CTS-V from a standstill to 60 mph in just 3.9 seconds. There are a host of performance upgrades that lie beneath the service of the already potent LSA motor. Upgrades include Lingenfelter Upper and Lower Pulleys, Ported Supercharger Snout, Kooks Long Tube Headers, BTR Stage 2 Cam, GM 3 Bolt Timing Gear, Hardened Pushrods and a selection of many other upgrades giving this CTS-V coupe an extra grunt as a true tire slayer.
The second-generation CTS-V redefined Cadillac’s performance image, taking direct aim at Europe’s finest sport coupes with supercharged V8 power, sharp handling, and unmistakable styling. This 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe Black Diamond Special Edition shows just 45,185 miles and represents one of the most desirable configurations of the CTS-V lineup. Finished in exclusive Black Diamond Tricoat over an Ebony leather interior, this Special Edition model features Recaro performance seats, satin graphite wheels, yellow brake calipers, and premium interior appointments. Beyond its factory equipment, this example has been enhanced with an aftermarket ECU tune, pulley system, cooling upgrades, camshaft and valvetrain modifications, and upgraded fuel system components, creating a CTS-V that offers significantly increased performance while retaining its luxury coupe character.
In the Two Thousands, Cadillac was going through a time of change. They were shedding their twentieth-century persona of soft luxury, and going a little more angular, performative and, whisper it, exciting to drive. Today, we’ve got a prime example of their crack at the grand tourer segment with this silver 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe from Cortlandt Manor, New York. This super low mileage car has just under 9,000 on the odometer, a nice black interior, and a powerful 6.2-liter V8 under the hood. It’s from the second generation of the CTS and rocks a manual gearbox too. Now that’s bound to get petrolheads interested!
This 2018 Cadillac CTS-V combines supercharged V8 performance with premium luxury features, creating one of the most compelling American super sedans of its era. Powered by the 640-hp LT4 engine and paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission, the CTS-V delivers exceptional acceleration and high-speed stability while remaining comfortable enough for daily use. This example is finished in Crystal White Tricoat and optioned with the V-Series Preferred Equipment Group, Luxury Package, polished 19-inch wheels, Recaro performance seats, and several interior comfort features, making it both highly equipped and performance-focused. Altogether, it offers a distinctive balance of refinement, technology, and track-ready capability.
The second-generation Cadillac CTS-V redefined American performance by proving Cadillac could compete head-to-head with Europe's finest sport sedans. Introduced for the 2009 model year, the CTS-V combined luxury appointments with a supercharged 6.2L LSA V8, making it one of the quickest and most capable four-door sedans of its era. This 2010 Cadillac CTS-V Sedan shows approximately 156,229 miles and has undergone an extensive performance build documented by Lingenfelter Performance Engineering and HorsePower Addicts. The current owner reports the engine was rebuilt approximately 40,000 miles ago, and the car now features a host of premium performance upgrades, including a ported Kong CNC supercharger, upgraded fuel system, reinforced cooling components, and a dyno-proven output of 736 wheel horsepower and 720 lb-ft of wheel torque.
The 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is one of the last great supercharged American sport sedans, bringing together a 6.2L V8, rear-wheel drive, and Cadillac’s most serious performance hardware in a package that can still carry passengers in comfort. Showing just 14,370 miles, this Summit White Blackwing has the kind of spec enthusiasts pay attention to, with a Sky Cool Gray and Jet Black Accents leather interior, UltraView Sunroof, Parking Package, Driver Assist Package, Reverse Automatic Braking, Interior Protection Package, and premium carpeted floor mats. It also adds an aftermarket ECU tune, carbon fiber hood, and carbon fiber body kit, giving this already rare high-output sedan a more aggressive edge and making it feel even more like a modern American answer to the European super sedan.
Cadillac’s Eldorado represented the pinnacle of American personal luxury during the early 1970s, combining unmistakable styling with effortless V8 power and an unmatched level of comfort. As the final generation before stricter emissions regulations began reshaping the automotive landscape, the 1971 Eldorado remains one of the most desirable examples of Cadillac’s golden era. Showing 89,793 miles, this 1971 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible is finished in elegant Cypress Green over a matching green interior and features a black convertible soft top. Tastefully updated with an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor, a RetroSound Bluetooth radio, and a reupholstered interior, this classic cruiser blends vintage character with subtle modern convenience while preserving its timeless appeal.
