5 reasons to buy the 2014 Cadillac CTS-V

1. Lightning-fast acceleration 

Whether you want to spice up your drive to work, or plan to spend time on the track, you’ll have fun with the 2014 Cadillac CTS-V and its lightning-fast acceleration. With the standard 556-hp 6.2L supercharged V8, the CTS-V does zero to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds. You’ll get a little thrill every time you put your foot down. 

2. Transmission options 

Do you prefer the hands-on driving experience of a manual transmission? Or, do you like to let science and engineering do some of the work with a well-designed automatic. The 2014 Cadillac CTS-V gives you both options. A six-speed manual transmission comes standard, but a six-speed automatic is an available option.

Each 2014 Cadillac CTS-V has performance brakes, a limited-slip rear differential, and a magnetically controlled adaptive suspension. Other performance touches, like racing seats, are available.  

4. Upscale cabin 

If you like your creature comforts, you’ll be glad to know that the 2014 Cadillac CTS-V is as luxurious inside as it is under the hood. The 2014 CTS-V comes standard with leather upholstery and a power tilt and telescoping steering wheel. A panoramic sunroof and other high-end touches are available.  

5. Strong audio system 

When you’re cruising along, you’ll want to be able to listen to your favorite playlist. That’s easy in the 2014 Cadillac CTS-V, thanks to the standard Bluetooth® connectivity. Your songs play on the standard 10-speaker Bose® audio system.
