V-Series Caddies a little tepid for you? Edmunds.com’s Inside
Line reports that Cadillac is mulling over developing even higher performance versions of its CTS-V, STS-V
(pictured) and XLR-V vehicles. We’re not talking competitors to Mercedes’ AMG or BMW’s M units — we’re talking what
Brabus is to Mercedes and Saleen is to Ford. IL reports that, like Mercedes and Ford, that Cadillac may be
shopping around for an outside tuner to develop the line of vehicles. To fully compete with the Europeans, Cadillac
won’t be beefing its vehicles up into muscle cars — Caddy’s looking for a little more finesse and talking to
the likes of Brabus, McLaren, Alpina, Lorinser and Dinan.
Also under consideration are “Super V” models of the CTS, STS and XLR. These would be GM developed
with more power than the current V lineup.
