Cadillac has started testing the race car CTS-V Coupe on the track fresh from the spotlights of the North American International Auto Show. The CTS-V Coupe zoomed around the Sebring International Raceway in the state of Florida.
The test car was manned by Andy Pilgrim with Johnny O’Connell. The performance of the CTS-V Coupe is being evaluated prior to its debut at the SCCA World Challenge GT that will kick off this March. The race car was developed in coordination with Pratt and Miller.
The specs of the Cadilla CTS-V coupe has not been announced yet but its body is primarily made from carbon fiber and features a big rear wing, ventilated hood, and a really aggressive diffuser. When you look at the stock CTS-V coupe, the car already boasts of 556 horsepower and a torque of 551 lb-ft from its V8 6.2L powerplant. This cadillac can blast from 0 to 100 kilometers per hours in a blink of 3.9 seconds. It has a sticker price of $67,000.
Now imagine what the specially tuned CTS-V coupe can do with all the tweaks and modification done by the engineers and designers of Cadillac and Peter & Miller.
The car manufacturer competed in the World Challenge back in 2004 through 2007 and have grabbed the manufacturer’s championship recognition for 2005 and 2007.
According to Cadillac, their return to the circuit is one way to demonstrate the power and capabilities of the CTS-V Coupe against the other production-based racecars.
