BMW M5 Takes “World’s Fastest Sedan” Honors. We Think.

Cadillac used their 7:59 lap of the Nürburgring to promote the CTS-V as the “world’s fastest sedan.” Even when Porsche ran a 7:56 with the Panamera Turbo, Caddy kept up with their “world’s fastest” claim, since the Panamera Turbo’s lap wasn’t official. Now comes word that Cadillac will have some serious catching up to do: the new BMW M5 has (allegedly) lapped the Green Hell in 7:55. If this turns out to be true, the M5 gets the crown as the world’s fastest sedan, at least until Cadillac updates the CTS-V. The 2012 Corvette ZR1 is three seconds faster around the ‘Ring than its 2009 counterpart, and the 2012 Z06 Corvette is some twenty seconds faster than its 2005 equivalent. Surely GM could shave some seconds off the CTS-V with new tires and suspension tuning, if they want to retain bragging rights. Read more

Cadillac Announces CTS-V Black Diamond Edition

When it comes to colors, I’ll generally pick black, at least until something darker comes along. Maybe it’s because things just look better in black, or maybe it matches the color of my soul. When it comes to favorite American cars, Cadillac’s CTS-V series is near the very top of my list. Combine the two, and you definitely get my attention; apparently, Cadillac thinks the way I do, because they’ve just announced a special edition of the CTS-V, called the Black Diamond Edition.

2011 Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon Officially Priced at $62,990

Slated to be the fastest wagon to ever come off of an assembly line, the new 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon has been announced to have a starting price of $62,990. The CTS-V Sport Wagon does not have much immediate competition in the Americas but if it did, in the form of the BMW M5 or Mercedes Benz E63 AMG, it would be the better performer. That’s because of its same LSA 6.2-liter 556hp Supercharged V8 engine found in the other CTS-V models (Coupe and Sedan).
