The 2016 Cadillac CTS-V arrives in Europe

Cadillac’s European dealers are now accepting orders for the 2016 CTS-V.



To recap, the rear-wheel drive CTS-V features an all-aluminium supercharged 6.2 litre V8 engine that’s mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.

An output of 640 bhp (477 kW / 648 PS) makes it the most powerful car in Cadillac’s history. Peak torque meanwhile is 855 Nm (630 lb/ft).



Those figures translate into an impressive 0-62 mph (100 km/h) time of just 3.7 seconds. By comparison, the 552 bhp (412 kW / 560 PS) BMW M5 and 550 bhp (410 kW / 557 PS) Mercedes-AMG E63 achieve the same benchmark in 4.3 and 4.2 seconds respectively.



Cadillac is quoting a 199 mph (320 km/h) top speed. That’s slightly odd, because a lot of fuss was made about the CTS-V’s ability to hit a nice round 200 mph (322 km/h) when it was first unveiled in the United States.



Of course, miles per hour means little in most markets on this side of the Atlantic. And anyway, does such a small discrepancy matter when the aforementioned German rivals are both electronically limited to 155 mph (250 km/h)?



European deliveries of the CTS-V are due to begin this autumn. In Germany, prices start from €98,500.
