In 2009, GM will throw down the first 500+ horsepower sedan to come out of The Big Three, the Cadillac CTS-V.  With an estimated 515 to 525 hp from a new supercharged V8, this luxo-rocket should provide some American competition to a decidedly German collection including the BMW M5, Audi RS6 and Mercedes E63 AMG.

The new CTS-V will be powered by a motor being called the “LSA”, a supercharged small-block V8 that features an integrated intake manifold/supercharger unit.  A redesigned rear end should help eliminate wheel hop and a huge helping of Brembo brakes will handle the slow-down duty.

A new front fascia can be seen, with much larger openings, as well as a new hood, under the disguise in the spy shots.  A new rear fascia with larger exhaust is to be expected as well.  Stay tuned to RPMPlanets for more information as it is obtained!
