It’s taken Cadillac more than 100 years to build a production car as powerful as the 2016 CTS-V. We have one week to shake down the super sedan.Our Red Obsession Tintcoat test vehicle arrived this morning equipped with the 640-horsepower/630-lb-ft supercharged 6.2-liter V8 and eight-speed automatic that’s standard on the third-generation V, as well as almost $11,000 in options. Those include the $5,500 Carbon Fiber Package and its CF front splitter, hood vent, spoiler, and rear diffuser, as well as the body-hugging $2,300 high-performance Recaro front seats and $1,300 Performance Data Recorder. When all is said and done, our review car stickers for $95,890.We’ll be taking this red rocket up and down the city streets and backroads of Austin, Texas and even on a six- or seven-hour round trip from the Lone Star State’s capital to the coastal city of Corpus Christi and back.If you have any questions about the 2016 CTS-V’s ride and handling or interior noise levels or how many wrinkles it takes out of your face when you romp on the gas, feel free to ask them in the dedicated forum thread below, at the bottom of this page via Facebook, or on Twitter.Chime in with your thoughts on the forum. >>photo credit [Cadillac]Follow @derekshiekhiTags: Cadillac, Cadillac CTS-V, LT4, reviews
