Based on a blend of the CTS Coupe and the CTS-V Sedan, the CTS-V Coupe effortlessly combines comfort, style and sharp handling while also packing a 556-horsepower punch.

Like its four-door counterpart, the Cadillac CTS-V Coupe packs GM's ferocious 6.2-liter supercharged LSA V8 motor. This CTS-V Coupe is rated at 556 horsepower and 551 lb-ft. of torque -- and can be fitted with either a six-speed automatic or six-speed manual transmission. With either transmission the car rockets from zero-to-60 mph in around four seconds flat, while fuel economy is rated 14 in the city and 19 mpg on the highway for the stick and 12/18 for the auto.

To keep that power in check, the CTS-V Coupe is also equipped with GM's Magnetic Ride Control (MRC) and racing-bred Brembo brakes, which together help to keep the CTS-V Coupe between the painted lines. The MRC setup uses shocks controlled by electro-magnets, rather than mechanical valves. This makes MRC the world's fastest-reacting suspension technology, according to GM.

The CTS-V Coupe also carries over the four-wheel performance-oriented disc brakes, ZF Servotronic 2 power rack-and-pinion steering, limited-slip rear differential and electronic traction control in the form of GM's StabiliTrak.

Otherwise, the CTS-V is more or less what you'd expect: A two-door version of the CTS-V sedan, or a fire-breathing V-Series version of Cadillac's CTS-V Coupe. Take your pick on which definition you prefer. Keep in mind, however, even though the CTS-V Coupe has the same wheelbase as the sedan, it sits two inches lower in height, has a wider track width and shorter overall length. The windshield is also laid at a faster angle, creating a sleek, athletic profile.

Unlike the three trim levels of standard CTS Coupe, which come with either rear-wheel or all-wheel drive, the CTS-V Coupe comes in rear-wheel drive trim only. The 18-inch wheels found on the base CTS Coupe are also gone, replaced instead by 19-inch wheels wrapped in high-performance tires.

Out back, you will find two large, center-mount exhaust outlets, which channel the growl of this performance coupe's 500+ horsepower massive V8.

Key Competitors
Those looking for a high-performance luxury two-door like the CTS-V coupe should also consider the BMW M3 Coupe and the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe as well as the stylish but less powerful Audi S5.
