Cadillac was without a proper performance series to compete with BMW or Mercedes for years. But finally, the V-Series was born. It was all that Cadillac lovers dreamed of powerful engines, world-class handling and suspension setups, and exclusive production. Even the competitors took notice when Cadillac rolled up the brand-new V-Series model (via General Motors).

Arguably, the second-generation CTS-V model produced between 2008 and 2014 was the most successful. Under the hood was a supercharged 6.2-litre V8 with 556 hp, making the CTS-V the most potent performance sedan on the market. The suspension and the rest of the drivetrain were advanced and up to task. So CTS-V was considered a full package and one of the best driver’s cars available. With a 556 hp LS9 V8 engine and 0 to 60 mph time of just 3.8 seconds, the second generation CTS-V was one of the fastest coupes on the planet and a true luxury muscle car.
