Supercharged Caddy: 2012 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe

In my opinion, the Cadillac CTS-V is one of the coolest cars in recent history: the combination of a Cadillac’s luxury with a Corvette’s drivetrain seems as ideal as it gets. For the second generation of the CTS-V, the luxury sports car went from using a naturally aspirated V8 engine to a supercharged one with more displacement, making this 2012 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe an even wilder ride.

Adrenalin Motors in Sylvan Lake, Alberta, Canada offers this cool Cadillac for sale. Unfortunately, their advertisement lacks details and photos, but it looks like this particular CTS-V has enjoyed a lifetime of quality care.

After many years of only being available in a sedan body style, Cadillac introduced the CTS-V Coupe for the 2011 model year. The seller claims this example is fully loaded and it also features the coupe-exclusive Saffron interior theme. While the first-generation CTS-V was only available with a manual transmission, an option for an automatic was introduced for the second generation. Fortunately, this one uses a 6-speed manual transmission to drive the rear wheels. Last but not least, this CTS-V features Recaro sport seats with both heating and cooling functions, which must be quite enjoyable to spend some time in.

As stated earlier, this Cadillac uses a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine that features an aluminum block, forged crankshaft, aluminum alloy pistons, and more. From the factory, the engine produced an impressive 556 horsepower and 551 lb.-ft. of torque. This example has 15,939 kilometers on the dashboard, which translates to just under 10,000 miles.
