The guys from Motor Trend love their Cadillac CTS-V. The American sports sedan has 556 hp and 750 Nm of torque, and has already beaten the BMW M5 and the new Jaguar XFR in two previous challenges from Motor Trend. This time, though, they’re trying it against the Mercedes E 63 AMG sports sedan offering.

The Mercedes has 525 hp and 630 Nm of torque, but performance between the two is very close with the Cadillac making it to 100 km/hr in 4.5 seconds and with a top speed of 308 km/hr. The E 63 has a top speed of 300 [...]

General Motors Company’s Vice Chairman Bob Lutz is out preparing for the upcoming Cadillac V-Series Challenge where he will race qualifying racers (and comparable vehicles) in a Cadillac CTS-V at the Monticello Motor Club on October 29.

The event has drawn 120 applications, out of which GM will only choose five winners. The deadline to apply for the challenge was last Friday.

Refresher: Power for the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V comes from a 6.2L supercharged V8 (LSA) that produces 556-hp with a peak torque of 551 lb-ft. 0-60 mph comes in just 3.9 [...]

General Motors has released a new 60-second spot for its Cadillac brand called "Re-ignition", which showcases the firm's forthcoming models including the CTS Sport Wagon, the new 2010 SRX crossover and most importantly, at the final segment of the clip, the production version of the CTS Coupe that is due to arrive in U.S. showrooms the summer of 2010.

We only get a quick glimpse of the two-door sports coupe, but from what we can tell, the vehicle's exterior styling has remained remarkably close to the concept car that was shown at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show.

According to a recent announcement [...]

GM has released the first official video of its new BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLK rival, the 2010 Cadillac SRX. The compact crossover-SUV-CUV-we don't know the difference any more, will be unveiled at the Detroit motor show in January with sales scheduled to start during the second quarter of 2009.

The Cadillac CTS-V is getting ready for launch and what better way to demonstrate the performance than to break the Nurburgring lap record for a production sedan. GM announced a time of 7 minutes and 59 seconds was achieved this morning by an unmodified model, confirmation of the record run will be released in the coming days with a video of the entire run.
The Nurburgring run is part of the intensive testing in the final stages of development before the CTS-V goes on sale this fall. We are still [...]

For years American premium cars have been the butt of jokes in the motoring world. Their reputation for terrible handling and substandard build quality often saw them overlooked by the new car buying public in favor of mostly European makes. Meanwhile, traditional German marques have continued to dominate the luxury segment and relative newcomer, Lexus, has also managed to gain a sizeable foothold in the competitive luxury car market.

Thus, those in the market for a well heeled, rear-wheel drive luxury car would more often than not look to BMW or Mercedes, but in this burgeoning segment new offerings from the [...]

The coupe version of the Cadillac CTS, shown as a concept car at the recent NAIAS, has been confirmed to start production in June 2009. At the time it goes for sale as a 2010 model, the price tag should be lower than the current XLR roadster’s price tag, making it the cheapest two-door in Caddy’s lineup. The most logical nameplate for the car is CTC, but anything like CTS Coupe, CTS-C or even the CT name of the concept may end up glued on the decklid.

Fortunately, the basic fastback shape and sharp lines of the concept are said to [...]

Today at the CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas, Cadillac will be showing their latest concept vehicle called the Cadillac Provoq Concept. Today GM will begin showcasing its future performance technology and design which will continue at next week's 2008 NAIAS in Detroit.

The Cadillac Provoq Concept has the new SUV Coupe exterior, just like the BMW X6, Land Rover LRX Concept and probably the Hummer HX Concept, and can comfortably seat 5 passengers. The underpinnings is what sets the Provoq apart from the SUV Coupe crowd at Detroit though.

The Provoq is the third vehicle featuring GM's new E-Flex Powertrain [...]

GM is bending over backward to gain ground outside of the USA resulting in considerable sales increase in Europe, Asia Pacific region, Latin America, Africa and East Europe, and Australia is its next target.
