Cadillac CTS-V – family rocket

Posted in: Cadillac 2

Cadillac CTS-V family styled according to the motto: with 6.2 liter against the rest of the car world.

Six crisp, 4.1 seconds from zero to one hundred, and a top speed of 308 km/h. No, it is not a new Corvette, here everything the new family-friendly wagon from the House of Cadillac revolves around. The CTS-V sport wagon catapulted its passengers by 415 kW / 564 PS into a new era of combination. This time travel as modern to refer to, but enormously difficult with an average consumption of well 17 litres per hundred kilometres. What however is no surprise, but whole 6.2 litres must be flooded displacement Super petrol. Do this at a second glance, but the 747 nm torque changing features and the basic price of 82.570 euros

back up. And who keeps looking for in car dealerships by German manufacturers for something comparable, which can search for long.

The AMG customer pays almost €120,000 for comparable performance in the E 63 wagon (557 PS, 800 nm, 300 km/h), the Cadillac owner for the 37.430 euro some 68 litres Tankfuls more treat difference can be. The V8 leaves no doubt particularly on tunnel runs on his masculinity. A short kick on the clutch pedal and a still beherzterer let know on the gas and the environment: here comes US power. And also for the standard equipment, the Cadillac buyer saves money. Xenon lights with Adaptive driving and headlights, as well as a back-up camera are also in the base rate with included, such as the views of the Porsche and other sports car driver on the highway verdutzten. For the station wagon has an advantage, no one dares to him this elemental force. But like Götz von Berlichingen once said: “Where lots of light, strong shadow.” The disadvantage of this underrated becoming ends in minutes behind rides, as the front man simply wants to understand that behind him an American family rocket off waiting the horizontal lift.

What is not so much joy in addition to the regular fuel stops, is the headroom for rear passengers. Here, the rider in the AMG sit better. And the retractable navigation system is a touch too playful, American just. The body shape is typical American but somehow also paradoxical. The design, which reminds many corners and edges of a Tarnkappen aircraft with its, falls immediately in the eye. Actually A knick running from the front to the rear machen… it should be so invisible reminiscent of the Mercedes vehicles from the time of former Mercedes step here, Professor Peter Pfeifer.

As it should be for a family car, the Cadillac with 1484 litres has a regular trunk. He loses the comparison with the T-model of AMG but to whole 466 litres. After all, this difference is still higher than the entire 450 litres-luggage storage of family car FF from the House of Ferrari. Oh well, which must accommodate finally also four cylinder and almost 100 horse more. One can only hope that not only the number of liter of the boot in the long term remains inferior where competition from Germany. Because 6.2 L engine easy mood. And dad will have finally also a little fun on the long trip.
