First drive: Cadillac CTS-V Coupe 2011 in the UAE


The 2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe is probably the most eye-catching car built by the General’s luxury arm since the tail-finned chrome barges of the 1960s. The fact that we snagged the V-series version of the coupe simply adds flame to the proverbial fire. The story is that we skipped the Lebanon launch event for the CTS Coupe in September, so we were promised an early look at the car when it became available for tests here. We suspect that, after losing two CTS-V sedans to retarded journalists, GM is a bit wary of handing over their expensive hypercar to amateurs now,

No European sports sedan has this much bling, short of a million-dirham Bentley. And the best bit is it outruns them all in power as well as price.

Cadillac CTS-V gets Hennessey power upgrade

Cadillac CTS-V gets Hennessey power upgrade


In all honesty, we have never driven the new “improved” Cadillac CTS. We kept asking for one, only to either be given something else or altogether forgotten. Now we will never get to drive one, because GM is going bankrupt and they have stopped giving out test-drive cars already. Even then, American tuner Hennessey may have figured that even the latest CTS-V is lacking in certain departments, and is offering performance packages to boost power to insane levels.
