A 2016 Cadillac CTS-V takes on all comers at a European drag racing event and beats the majority of them handily.The new Cadillac CTS-V is the most powerful factory sedan ever offered by General Motors, which also makes it one of the quickest and fastest sedans in the world. This week"s Drag Race Monday video features one such CTS-V racing somewhere in Europe against a variety of different performance cars and the big Caddy beats most of them.The video begins with a battle of LT4 cars, with the CTS-V taking on a C7 Corvette Z06. The Corvette runs into traction problems at the starting line and the Caddy jumps out to a lead too big for the Z06 to overcome.Next, the new Cadillac CTS-V takes on an AMG sedan and when the Benz driver sleeps at the light, the supercharged Caddy hands out a beating so severe that the Mercedes driver lets off and coasts down the track.The third race pits the CTS-V against another C7 Corvette and once again, the supercharged sedan takes the win, but when the Cadillac goes head to head with a Nissan GTR, we see the supercharged sedan take its first loss. The Nissan gets out to a bit of an advantage on green and while the GT-R cant really pull away from the CTS-V, the AWD coupe takes the win.The next race is another loss for the CTS-V, although it is close enough that it was practically a tie when the Cadillac runs down the Audi after the German sedan took the early lead.Finally, the video ends with the CTS-V crushing a Dodge Challenger SRT8 and the same white AMG from the beginning of the video, so during the course of this video, the blown Caddy takes 5 wins and 2 losses and those 2 losses were to very respectable competition.
