Most may not know this, but American luxury brand Cadillac is over 100 years old — 115 years old, to be exact. So, how do you celebrate this milestone? Produce a limited-edition version of your insanely powerful, 640-hp CTS-V super sedan, of course.
Limited to 115 units, the 2018 Cadillac CTS-V Glacier Metallic Edition gains a smoky light gray paint scheme, along with standard accented illuminated door handles, dark red Brembo brake calipers, and 19-inch forged polish-finished alloy wheels with Midnight Silver painted pockets.
Inside this CTS-V, the sedan finds race-inspired sport seats via Jet Black RECAROs, the Performance Data Recorder system featuring COSWORTH Toolbox analysis software, UltraView sunroof, the industry–first Rear Camera Mirror, and the next-generation Cadillac user experience infotainment system.
A Carbon Fiber Package adds a healthy dose of the light-weight material to the front and rear spoilers, the hood vent, and rear diffuser. For niceties, the Luxury Package-equipped Glacier Metallic Edition CTS-V finds tri-zone climate control, a split-folding rear seat with armrest, a rear camera mirror, heated rear outboard seating positions, manual rear side-window sunshades, a 110-volt power outlet, and a power rear-window sunshade to round things out.
Supercharged 6.2L V8 Good For 640 Horsepower
The styling and panache of a unique anniversary edition model is a bonus. The real deal here is the supercharged 6.2L V8 engine SAE certified at 640 horsepower and 630 lb-ft of torque, paired to the 8-speed sport automatic transmission with Performance Algorithm Shifting, all sending power to the rear wheels of this underrated American sports sedan. Less powerful yet more attainable, there’s also the 3.6L V6-powered 2018 Cadillac CTS Sedan.
Cadillac will begin sending units of this limited-edition CTS-V starting in September; for more info and pricing, call Cadillac at 1-800-333-4223. The price? $103,885 US (including destination charge, excluding other fees).
