Wow...that's all I can say. Wow.

We thought Bentley's announcement earlier today that it's adding a Speed model to the Continental Flying Spur lineup was exciting news for sedan fans. After all, a 600bhp saloon that can hit 60 mph in 4.5 seconds and reach 200 MPH is pretty exciting, no? Not really when compared to Cadillac's news that the 2009 CTS-V will officially be rated at 556 horsepower, hit 60 mph in 3.5 seconds and run the quarter mile in 12 seconds flat. No offense to Bentley, but a sub-3-second sedan is about as exciting as it can get on a Monday.

For the record, the Edmunds' Straightline Blog reports that the sport sedan's 6.2L supercharged V8 will produce 556 hp at 6,100 rpm and 551 pound-feet of torque at 3,800 rpm. That engine is the LSA, derived from the new Corvette ZR1's LS9 motor and detuned for duty in the CTS-V. Fortunately, the LSA wasn't detuned too much and the '09 CTS-V should destroy its German competition, specifically the BMW M5 with its - can't believe we're saying this - relatively meager 500-hp 5.0L V10.

Come on GM; let's get an LSA, with 560 horse, on our baby!!!

GM is out for BMW blood. The G8 is beating the 5-series, and the CTS-V is crushing the performance division. This is incredible.

mmmm, torque. CTS-V -up 56 hp and 168 ft lbs. Then again, it weights a little more too, I think.

I'd buy one instead of the Camaro if it wasn't estimated to cost around 60 grand. I love this car!

rmyers · 06-12-2008, 03:41 PM

According to the Cadillac Press Release, 0-60 is 3.9 (not 3.5) and 12.0 second 1/4 mile. On a related note, I watched the video of hte sub-8 min lap at Nurburgring and was impressed by the fact the car was an Automatic. If all goes well, GM will give us an equally powered Camaro!
