Cadillac V16 Fleetwood
In those days, V8 engines were a novelty because just a few brands produced such engines. Most luxury models had straight-8 power plants that had a lot of torque and were smooth running units. So, Cadillac decided to introduce a new V16 engine to deliver performance and power on a whole new level. The Cadillac V16 had the displacement of 452 CID or 7.4-liters and produced 185 HP. Despite its relatively small power figures, this engine delivered unmatched torque, smoothness and effortless acceleration.
