2007 CTS Super V, powered by a 7.0-liter 505-hp LS7 V8 lifted directly from the Corvette Z06

The Super V also features custom bodywork, huge rear tires, larger exhaust pipes and an engine sound unlike any other CTS.

With the new CTS slated for arrival as a 2008 model, speculation is that Cadillac will offer this exclusive model as a last hurrah for the exiting first-generation CTS.

If that’s not powerful enough, wait for the next-generation CTS Super V, which is rumored to be equipped with the LS9 engine—a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 with 600 hp. But you’ll be waiting at least until the 2010 or 2011 model year for that one.

This is going to get serious. Cadillac said they would fight, others looked away. Cadillac continued with the fight, not those will start looking.

It will probably be crazy fast but will Gm be able to make it as competetive as the ZO6?

Power without control is nothing.

I couldn't care less about it.

It's a GM car. GM won't be sticking with us for too long. That means Cadillac will also die.

Seriously, would you buy a car from a manufacturer on the verge of bankruptcy? I wouldn't. That's why I will stick with the BMW M5 and Mercedes CLS 63 AMG.

I don't think that Cadillac will sell that much in Europe. I think the european buyers are of a higher class, than the american ones. I think that here in europe we consider very much the materials' quality, something that american car lack...

they beeter make it be able to handle or the'll be blown of the road.

mehh.. who cares.. 7litre engine

Oh, the iconic Christopher E. Bangle.

Exactly... It's quite funny seeing most of you simply brush away this latest threat from Cadillac. Seems a bit arrogant guys...
I remember a similar sentiment when the Corvette ZO6 was being developed...and look at how stunning it has been. IMO, it still hasn't recieved the respect and praise it deserves, ..but I guess that's coz it's American, and most here are highly biased towards Europeans cars. I'm not saying I'm not biased either... but I've learned to respect the new wave of American cars which are prepared to take on the Europeans. Same thing with Lexus, atleast they're providing significant competition to the Europeans.

That LS7 is a stunner. Sure it may not have the best hp/L figures.. but the ZO6 is testiment to its capabilities. Maybe AMG, M and RS shouldn't really be worried in terms of sales, bceause it's not likely the Cadi' will be a success in Europe... but they should be conscious of GM's intent to take on the Europeans at their game.

(* If you're wondering why the heck I'm trying to defend American cars... must be coz I just came back from a trip to US... aaah... still not de-americanized )
