17.12.2010
Add ThisDETROIT – The Cadillac CTS-V Coupe and Wagon have been named the “Best Performance/Luxury Car” for the 2011 model year by MotorAuthority, a leading Website catering to luxury car buyers.
MotorAuthority’s “Best Car to Buy Award” is chosen from the newest sports cars, sedans and SUVs priced at more than $50,000. The 2011 field of finalists included the Bentley Mulsanne, Aston Martin V12 Vantage, Ford Shelby GT500, Infiniti M56 and Hyundai Equus.
Editors selected the nominees based on full road-test reviews. According to the website, the winner was the vehicle that editors would put in their own garages, to drive on a perfect day, on the perfect road.
“We’ve been rooting for more V-Series cars since we drove the CTS-V sedan,” said MotorAuthority Editor Nelson Ireson. “The stunning profile of the two-door CTS-V Coupe and the high-speed flexibility of the CTS-V Wagon add rubber-burning luster to a lineup filled with winning luxury vehicles.”
The CTS-V Coupe and Wagon joined the CTS-V Sedan for the 2011 model year. All three V-Series models have a supercharged 6.2L V8 engine with 556 horsepower, Brembo brakes and a Magnetic Ride Control suspension that can read and react to the road in milliseconds.
“The V-Series is the ultimate embodiment of Cadillac performance,” said Don Butler, vice president for Cadillac marketing. “The addition of the V Wagon and Coupe gives us a family of luxury sports cars that rivals any competitor in the world. We’re pleased MotorAuthority agreed by selecting the new CTS-V models as its “Best to Buy” for 2011.”
