2012 Cadillac CTS-V

Combining extreme levels of both performance and luxury, the base CTS-V is a unique car in the history of the autoverse. But, when that posh interior is combined with a purpose-built Pro Street-level of power, this 2012 Cadillac CTS-V 427 is the equivalent of a unicorn riding Haley's Comet in terms of rarity on the road. With its fully blacked-out grille and trim to complement its Black Diamond paint and powder-coated Weld Belak wheels, this V is a streetable weekend track car that feels and drives like nothing else out there. Inside, this CTS-V retains its elite Ebony leather and suede interior. A center locking console separates the stock heated and ventilated Recaro seats, while a padded three-spoke steering wheel with thumb controls sits ahead of a three-pod gauge cluster. Power seats, windows, locks, and mirrors, combined with air conditioning, cruise control, navigation, power sunroof, and a backup camera, offer all the modern amenities anyone could ask for. An AM/FM/AUX/Satellite radio handles soundtrack duties, while the classic analog clock sits high atop the center stack, making this car feel like an Olympic sprinter dressed in a three-piece Armani suit. Under that aggressive hood, we find a massive Dart 427 stroker V-8 engine. This race-ready motor's build sheet reads like a car-crazed kid's wishlist: Dart block rated to 1,300 horsepower, Monster M311 heads, LS gasket kit, LS7 lifters and trays, Dart cam bearings, head stud kit, and windage tray. An LSXperts custom camshaft, RCR race blower, 102mm throttle-body, dual Walbro fuel pumps, Kooks headers, RCR mid-pipes, and dual exhaust round out the short list of power parts. This car has dynoed an insane 968 horsepower and 1,028 pound-feet of torque on 93 pump gas. That number can climb to over 1,200 hp when tuned to use high-octane race gas. That ridiculous power is routed through a built triple-disc 6L80E six-speed automatic transmission before being sent out to the 3.73-geared rear by way of a DSS aluminum driveshaft. *Luxury Racecar *Built Dart 427 CID V8 *968 HP on Pump Gas *1028 LB FT on Pump Gas *Over 1200 HP Potential *Moser Heads *Custom Cam *LS7 Lifters *102 mm Throttle Body *Dual Walbro Fuel Pumps *Triple Disc 6L60E Six Speed Auto *DSS Aluminum Driveshaft *3.73 Rear *Coilovers *Race Tires *Leather Interior *Heated and Vented Recaros *Power Sunroof *Navigation *Back Up Camera *Power Everything *AC *Cruise *Wilwood Brakes *Airbags *Receipts *One of a Kind The 2012 Cadillac CTS-V 427 is equipped with a modified suspension, featuring adjustable coilovers up front, while Weld Belak Series 02 wheels are fitted with race tires to produce maximum grip. Because adding a parachute would make this car decidedly less streetable, this CTS-V uses a set of four-wheel Wilwood power disc brakes to help rein in all of that prodigious power whenever called upon. While the base CTS-V is already an exceptional car in its own right, this 427-powered Caddy has created a new submarket of automobiles we are dubbing the 'Luxury Racecar', and as of now, this is the only car we've come across that fits into that category, making it truly one of a kind. Don't wait, because as expected and on-brand, this car will go fast. Call today!
