The Cadillac CTS-V Wagon
Take a Dodge Magnum SRT-8, make it do everything better and go faster, and you’d have something like the 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon. The Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon features the same 556-horsepower engine and performance-focused features as its CTS-V sedan and coupe counterparts, all wrapped up in a more practical package. Ya… good luck convincing anyone you bought it for the luggage space!
In this video Clay Dean, chief designer for Cadillac, guides KBB’s Jack Nerad on a walkaround of the CTS-V Sport Wagon to share what makes this unusual performance vehicle so special.
