Cadillac introduced coupe and wagon versions alongside the traditional CTS sedan for the CTS' second generation. The high-performance CTS-V wagon will be the primary focus of this post, especially since I have a thing for fast wagons. It hit the market in 2011 and ended production in 2014. Powering the CTS-V Wagon is a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 with 556 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque, which was the Corvette-derived motor also used in the previous Camaro ZL1. It launches from zero to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds and is capable of a top speed of 190 mph. Power is sent to the rear wheels through either a six-speed automatic or a six-speed manual. Roughly 500 examples of the Cadillac CTS-V with the six-speed manual are known to exist. Compared to the standard CTS wagon, the CTS-V contains adaptive magnetic dampers, Brembo brakes, and a limited-slip rear differential, among other performance-focused and racing-inspired options. It also has many of the same standard premium features as the regular CTS. The Cadillac CTS-V currently carries an average value between the high $30,000s and $50,000s. It may not trump my absolute favorite fast wagon in the Mercedes-AMG E63, but the Cadillac CTS-V wagon is an amazing, incredible, and underrated fast wagon and a rare breed of vehicle that deserves more appreciation from the masses.
