2013 CADILLAC CTS-V SPORT SEDAN IS ONE OF THE WORLD’S HIGHEST-
PERFORMING LUXURY SEDANS
The CTS-V Sedan was the first production four-door on street tires to break the
legendary eight-minute barrier at Germany’s famed Nürburgring – a feat that established
an unqualified reputation as one of the world’s highest-performing luxury sedans.
A suite of sublimely coordinated technical and performance elements, including
Magnetic Ride Control, Brembo brakes and Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 performance tires
mounted on 19-inch forged aluminum wheels, form the foundation for the CTS-V
Sedan’s exhilarating driving experience, while a supercharged 6.2L V-8 provides the
thrust. It delivers 556 horsepower (415 kW) and is backed by either a six-speed manual
transmission or a six-speed automatic.
All CTS-V models feature a unique grille that doubles front-end airflow to help enable its
high-performance capabilities, along with an aggressive front fascia and raised center
section of the aluminum hood that provides clearance for the supercharger.
For 2013, the CTS-V family adds new, two-piece front brake rotors and Glacier Blue
Metallic exterior color. The two-piece rotors are now standard, offering greater
resistance to warping and potentially longer rotor life, as well as reduced weight. The
design features a separate cast iron rotor brake ring mounted to an aluminum “hat” that
attaches the brake assembly to the wheel hub. The hat and brake ring cool at different
rates, which helps the rotor dissipate heat more effectively. This racing-style disc design
enhances braking performance under track operating conditions.
CTS-V Sedan design
The CTS-V Sedan exterior incorporates a number of unique cues that blend function
with aesthetics. The dihedral Cadillac grille, for example, is larger to enable more air
intake and features a satin finish, while the raised hood encompasses the supercharged
engine beneath it. The front and rear fascias, as well as a rear spoiler that houses the
center high-mounted stop lamp, are specific to the car, as are its standard 19-inch
wheels.

High-intensity discharge headlamps with Adaptive Forward Lighting System are

CTS-V Sedan interior
The CTS-V Sedan interior features streamlined instrumentation, LED lighting and handcut-and-sewn accents. It includes performance seats featuring perforated sueded
microfiber inserts designed to hold the driver and front passenger in place during
cornering.
Recaro performance driving seats are optional and provide excellent support during
performance driving. These 14-way adjustable performance seats include pneumatic
bolster controls in the seat cushions and backrests.
Complementing the performance seating are a thick steering wheel and a gauge
package designed for easy, at-a-glance reference during performance driving. Large
instruments have bold readouts, including an LED-lit “tracer” function in the tachometer
that flashes as the engine nears the red line. The gauge layout includes a boost gauge
and a lateral acceleration display.
Obsidian Black accents grace the center stack, console, steering wheel and door panels.
The production steering wheel and shifter are available in Alcantara, providing the
luxurious character of suede.
