Cadillac CTS-V-Performance Introduction
Cadillac CTS-V The new CTS-V will be powered by a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine, the engine can deliver 556 horsepower and 551 pounds - feet of torque, this engine than its competitors, BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz E63AMG and Audi S6 The engine must be equipped with the strong. More importantly, the cheapest of these competitors a vehicle from the Audi S6's price should be 72.35 thousand U.S. dollars, while the power than the output of this new Cadillac 121 horsepower less power. CTS-V's performance data, including 0-60 miles / hour acceleration time of 3.9 seconds, running around the famous Nurburgring lap time less than 8 minutes. In addition, the new car options and equipment also includes a six-speed automatic transmission (twisted gearshift mounted on the steering wheel), 14 to the adjustable Recaro performance seats, microfiber interior materials, and a sunroof . CadillacPremiumChannel, vice president of North American MarkMcNabb said the new CTS-V is "a very attractive and high-performance luxury model car fans eye" and that the car was "Cadillac brand as a key point of recovery."
Cadillac CTS-V high-performance version of its debut, and the upcoming November 1 in the United States began selling price of 59,995 U.S. dollars, or about 410 thousand yuan, while in the Guangzhou auto show next month, the Cadillac CTS - V will also be released in China as imports of cars, in the count customs duties, excise duties and domestic re-pricing all kinds of circumstances, vehicle prices have also determined that only a handful of car-chi, who rides. Cadillac CTS-V's overall shape and the new CTS is little different from the diamond cutting process also makes the body more tough lines. Appearance point of view, is mainly surrounded by the replacement of the sports version, looking even more domineering and more wild. While its chrome-plated mesh grille design, but also with the regular edition of the biggest differences between models. In addition, the 19-inch oversized wheels with Michelin PS2's top running tires, get a stronger grip in the same time, more visually add a despot. Power system, the Cadillac CTS-V equipped with 6.8L supercharged V8 engine, maximum power is 415Kw and peak torque of 747NM. Transmission provides a TremecTR6060 six-speed manual transmission, as well as the Hydra-Matic6L90 electronically controlled six-speed automatic transmission of two choices, and to China, it may not appear assembly Hydra-Matic6L90 electronically controlled six-speed automatic transmission. The latest suspension of the electromagnetic induction system, the use of MRC, but also points installed in the four wheels on the road surface sensing device can read the information at any time at any time to set the most appropriate shock status, and is equipped with a four-wheel independent SLA suspension kit , both Cadillac CTS-V provides a platform for professional-grade performance. These configurations, ordinary users are not enjoyed by CTS. Interior design, all black interior a sporty, three-barrel-type instrument panel seems to have been trampled in the end people have the impulse to throttle, retractable screen, DVD-navigation has also been insisted on retaining. Compared to normal version of Cadillac CTS models, black and carbon fiber interior is more prominent element in the movement. But as the sports cars, parcels of more bucket seats is also indispensable. As a high-performance CTS Sport Edition, I believe that aspects of the chassis tuning and more sports-oriented, but just adjust the consumption tax, this 6.8L displacement of the Cadillac CTS-V will be more expensive in the country, when the sale of prices, I do not think ordinary people can bear.
Cadillac CTS-V-impact assessment
Cadillac CTS-V Whole new generation of Cadillac CTS-V - a set of luxury, fashion and high-performance coupe in one, will be listed in Shenzhen on the 18th of this month.
1, positive impact evaluation Listed in the new car before or to look at how the safety of the car, for it is what the owner can provide protection in a frontal crash test, the National Highway Traffic Safety Bureau to simulate a vehicle at about 56 km / hour speed limit and hit a traffic accident when a fixed barrier. By measuring the head, chest, thigh injury three places the value of a comprehensive assessment of such an accident may be for the front driver, passenger extent of the damage. In front of both sides of the dummy's head injury values were 653 and 540, although less than serious injury to the standards but it has more than 50% of this standard; while the chest and left thigh compared to the degree of injury to the head said, much less so. Same time, because the driver side of the damage so the higher the value of the new CTS in the frontal crash test dummies inside the front driver-side does not get 5 stars rating. The driver and co-pilot side of four stars representing the five-star level evaluation, and drivers are subject to such collisions will be 15 when the chance of serious injury, while the co-pilot by the chance of serious injury does not exceed 10%.

And by measuring the head, chest, pelvis injury value of the three locations, a comprehensive assessment of such an accident may be for the front driver, rear passengers, the driver cause varying degrees of damage. The new Cadillac CTS to give the driver and rear passengers, the driver package would be very in place, the head, chest, pelvis, three suffered serious injuries from the test results are far from the standards. This is because the car is equipped with side air curtains and side airbags protection. In the side crash test this project, the new Cadillac CTS won two five star rating. This assessment represents when such incidents occur, the measured location of the occupant to the risk of serious injury does not exceed 10%.
3, the possibility of assessment roll Although the car due to the lower chassis, so more likely to tumble far below the SUV type of vehicle, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Bureau for the new Cadillac CTS also had a "rollover likelihood" assessment test. Test results show that the new Cadillac CTS does not appear in the measured vehicle roll, when using P235/55R17 tires and rear-wheel drive vehicle when the form of the static stability factor is 1.44, when the vehicle when the vehicle rollover accident probability to 10 %, the U.S. Highway Traffic Safety Board for its five star rating.
