The "V" branding already appears on the CTS, but now it will be coupled with Cadillacs luxury cedan. The high performance cedan will include a supercharged V-8 4.4 liter engine, that packs 440 horses and 430 pound feet of torque. This is the most powerful engine ever packed in a Caddy. This car is aimed to compete with imports such as the Jaguar XJR and teh Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG. The base price is estimated at $70,000, priced $10,000 less than the competitors. The STS V will reach 60 in 4.8 seconds, which would be right around the performance for the Jaguar and the Mercedes.
