This is the golden age of performance. 640 hp Caddies!!! 30k mustangs with 400+hp. Six or seven year old 100k+ cars with over 500hp for under 30k. Amazing

Probably the best car Cadillac has released in the past 25 years.

I am now adding to the description of this video so I don't have to keep replying individually to those that commenting about the middle console lid opening while on the track. For those who I haven't replied to, my car had a 2 way radio system hooked to it and it was plugged into the console with a fairly thick cable. I tried a few times to close it but didn't want to slam down too hard and risk damaging it hence the console lid staying open during my laps. It do admit, it does look kinda funny seeing it open and close during corners.

I LOVE American cars. They're so bloody gorgeous.

he gives a good review and is not annoying. good job

I own both a BMW and a Cadillac and as much as I love both cars, the Cadillac is an unacceptably amazing car, its grip, stability, power and most importantly the vibe that the Cadillac gives is one that I personally believe is very hard to out perform, Cadillac is simply a Superb car !

I had the chance to drive the 2016 CTS-V (and ATS-V) at the Cadillac Vseries Lab at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, TX last week. Prior to the test, I was pretty dead set that this car was no where close to any of the 4 M series BMW's I have owned in the past...how could it even compare to German crafted engineering, right? Well, all I can say, is that I after a full day at the track, I am a changed (and very happy) man. My next car WILL be a CTS-V, no question. Auf Wiedersehen BMW.

bought mine in Nashville and drove it to Las Vegas, what a nice ride*** passing 4-8 cars with ease. 100mph feels slow and spanking CLK's Vette's M3's & Hell kitties is just pure entertainment.

This is what happens when Cadillacs and Vettes have babies.

I really like your reviews. They are brilliant. Thank you for making them.

The only Cadillac I would buy, and the first Caddy to ever catch my eye. Well done!

And it's American!!! Nice job GM...

I'm glad you have finally gotten the attention your reviews have long deserved. Well done

white is a great color for this car. That with the taste of the carbon fiber, i am impressed

Hands down the greatest vehicle Cadillac has ever built period!! Ok maybe except for the Cien & the Sixteen but they never made production but still sexy vehicles none the less!! Interior looks so classy without being obnoxious! That hidden secret motorized compartment was my favorite features!!!

Cadillac is one of the few companies in the world who have managed to completely rejuvenate their line of cars and improve the quality and performance of every generation of their new line of cars. At this point i want a car that doesn't look like every other car and Cadillac stands out uniquely like a UFO

That engine sounds like it's not taking any prisoners. This car trumps the foreign competition. Good job G.M. !!!

Soooooo, its a luxury 4door corvette?

Good review. Don't be so critical of yourself, alot of people like your videos. You manage to give some feeling to the driving ,good job. Liked and Subscribed.

Holy cow you did say 640 horsepower? I want one! this is stunning.

...very comprehensive and helpful review. You are informatively, hilariously, devilishly on point! I just subscribed!

Nice review and I love how the console kept opening and closing from the lateral forces.

Great review. I like that you don't pretend to be an automotive expert. My favourite car was the CTS-V wagon, but after watching the reviews on the '16 V, I have a new favourite :)

saw this car at work absolutely stunning with the hugest rotors I've ever seen in our parking lot.

I love what Cadillac is doing these days. :)

7:10 dude you got a ghost trying to steal your shit sitting in your car!

New subscriber here. No, you are not a race driver lol. But that is fine, this was a very thorough review. Great car, no doubt about it. I don't know what it is going to take to get snobs to consider Cadillac over BMW or Mercedes, this car is proof GM has done all they can for that. It is way over my price range, but for sure if I won the lottery tomorrow this is the first four door on my list. Good looking, world-class performance and refinement, and American. What more could anyone want? Also, kudos to GM for eschewing carbon brakes. Sure, that helps on resale for a BMW or Mercedes, but there is no real-world advantage in performance and if you are a long term owner you don't want to pay to replace those.

Yeah Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham days are over.

Best review right now for the cts-v...well done dude!!

Im not a big fan of modern American cars, but i have to say... This is a damn nice car!! Also the new CT6 looks damn nice! Nowadays, I see more often nice and good American rides.. keep them coming! THUMBS UP! 👍

I'll say it as well: Good reviews and not with any annoying behaviour or comments. Thank you.

Glad you explained that... I was going to say that it reminded me of when the Cadillac Seville was being compared to a Mercedes sedan, and within minutes of being driven over the same road as the Merc, the Caddy's mirrors fell off. Oooops. I own an XLR and wouldn't sell it for anything. But, Cadillac has finally created a four door Vette, and it would be a nice addition. I like your reviews. You are not overly obnoxious and self indulgent. Or Russian. Good job.

First reviewer to know the hood was carbon fiber. Thank you for an informed review.

I have an old 2011 CTS-V. it only has 556 HP 550 Torque. but it's so fun. I almost bought a 2016 V3 CTS-V but just could not justify the price vs performance gain. For now I'll stay with my V2. I do love all of the new options in the V3. If I had money to throw at cars I'd get a CT5-V Blackwing. Haha. Enough of my ramblings. Thanks for the video...I want one.

Cadillac is back baby

It looks beautiful in white. Great review.

This auto is a "tour de force!" Thanks for the excellent review!

Thorough, well presented... actually one of the best CTS-V reviews off the launch at Road America (and that's including the ones from the established outfits). Great work Brian. Been telling everyone about your channel lately!

hey don't worry about it man great review and cadillac is getting better and better!

Outstanding review ! This new CTS V is a game changer for Cadillac, a true "Super Sports Sedan". Cadillac should make a two door Coupe, ala Elmirage. I'm anxious to see how BMW, Mercedes, and Audi are going to counter! I like the improved CUE. People forget that it can be operated via voice recognition. Plus, the new CT6 has a newer model with real buttons. It is only going to get better! Great shades you were wearing... may I ask the brand?

Wow, this car looks amazing.

I like all the new features of the CTS-V 640 . I certainly would like to have one!!

Funny how I see many comparing this to an S Class when it is clearly a E Class competitor. I have a 2009 SL550 and yes the interior is beautiful the power is very good and the shape (the last year it did not look like melted plastic) is to die for. I would love to have this big bad Cadillac in black. Beautiful car!!!

Center console doubles as a rev counter, Sick. Good reviewer!

Beautiful, both the CTS-V and ATS-V have nearly perfect proportions. It's to bad there is no longer a CTS-V Coupe! BoooWhooo!

That CTS-V ain't no joke! Gotta get one and a C7 Z06

Very nice review! enjoyed it!

Cadillac Is FINALLY GETTING IT RIGHT !! w/ The Latest Product Releases, Their Really Stepping Up Their Game. The New Escalade , ATS & Now This Beast, Putting Out These Numbers..The CTS-V Should Definitely Turn Some Heads In Traffic. Looks Like Cadillac's Got That Swagger Back !!

I like your review style sir, keep up the good work! Good job on the track!

such a good looking car. I love it. to rich for my blood though. maybe in a few years on the used market

Man. My dream car for sure. 2016 CTS V SEDAN > CTS V WAGON > ESCALADE. Hope my stocks perform well in Sept so that I can cash out and buy one. Worth this price.

Mmmmm Elkhart lake what a track. The reason David Hobbs opened his dealerships in Wisconsin. He ran laps of the gods here back in the day

American power sedans owning the market now.

You got a like and a sub from me today, now I am on the prowl for a used second gen ctsv, as far as my research has gone recently, I got my eyes on the 2009... heard that the 2010 has issues with the transmission or some sort. I don't want to buy anything too new but any suggestions of which year to get that is not going to give me problems and have all the goodies the 2nd gen can offer!! And the price it will go for currently, I guess around 30k?

Stunning and Luxurious, just WoW! 👍

New M5 and new E63 are being tested as we speak. It's all about to get real

As a current owner of two AMG cars, I will look at the Caddy when I get ready to trade one in. Kudos to Caddy....car looks way better than the last rendition......and its NOT a BMW......

4 door C7z06... Yes GM stick it to em from every corner

The aforementioned applicable GM engineers performed their due diligence with precision, which will supersede their competitors.

I'd give a $1000.00 to do what you did that day, your a lucky guy man. Congrats.

Has this reviewer ever been in the previous versions, new 6.2 liter engine? first rate interior fit and finish? I am warming to it even though it's more of a rehash of the previous versions. Driving the previous could be a handful to drive it never inspired confidence to go faster, I did anyway but it was alway's at the seat of my pants and I walk the streets of the South Bronx and Bed Sty do or die. I plan to test drive one all the same and am hoping there's a price adjustment so that it's not so close to its German counterparts. I had some Corsa's put on my V and that sounded awesome. Fuel economy, improved, zero to sixty improved, just barely on both and not for nothing the ATS-V seems to be more car for the money. He's doesn't feel comfortable driving it as fast as he can, I wonder why? The brakes are good but the regular seats are just comfy and I wonder if the new ones will creak and squeak like mine did right off the dealer lot. On the track the Michelins are useless after two hot laps and some of the options mentioned were on the Beemer and Benz back in 2010. I'm wondering if the V really can stick it to the Dodge Hell Cat? I do like the computer game graphics in the console. Its not very light and fluffy on the road, its a hard ride and there's very little difference between the drive modes. It didn't inspire courage when I was driving it and it turns out my passengers who've driven with me in many many powerful cars didn't feel to comfortable either I found out later. It was hard to get the car past one hundred and fifty on even the coolest day for some reason the car would bleed speed past one twenty. One Hundred Grand for a Caddy? I'm still on the fence with this one, should I splurge and get the CTS-V or opt for the smaller less powerful but very little difference in the numbers performance wise and get the ATS-V which I'm much more impressed with. I don't want to come off like I'm knocking the CTS-V, I'm just very disappointed there isn't much difference between the one I had and this one not to mention where's the latest innovations, its the same engine just with more BHP, it's not turbo charged, there isn't all wheel drive available and it looks a lot like the old gen with little changes especially the interior. I wanted the this version to be fantastic, inside and out dripping with technology thats practical, I do like the camera's that can record your deviltry but that may get you into trouble if you get into an accident. I've been a Caddy man since the eighties I was one of those young guy's driving his dads car, it all started with the STS, now back then that was a game changer, what a car. I have a couple of years before I decide what I'm going to do when it comes to my next ride so hopefully I'l have a change of heart, wow, a 100 grand for a Caddy, who'd have know. C'mon Cadillac, wow me, theres time and not for nothing the few fella's I know who have the last gen V aren't to impressed with the new one either and its along the same lines Im not. If I still had my V I'd be hard pressed to swap it out for the new one with not even one second quicker to sixty and where am I going to get to get the car to two hundred MPH? anyway you haven't lost me completely.....yet.

Looks sick... it's got a bit of a Nissan GTR face going there & there's nothing wrong with that! Not to mention all that power

One beautiful American car!

Good review. This Cadillac is awesome!

Oh my god ! this "CTS-V" is really incroyable and so beautiful #CadillacImYourBiggestFan🇺🇸

I have always been a AMG guy and didn't see any american car that would take me away from that but when you consider the price and the performance build quality looks and everything els i honestly think i would go for this new Caddy CTS-V over my beloved Benz's (I am American)

@matthew von how do you know how it shifts if you ain't driven one? Don't be quick to judge till you experience it.

IM sorry but the former gen CTS-V wagon in Diamond Black still is the most badass ride ever around.

great review on the CTYS-V did you do one on the ATS-V yet?

Really like the optional mischievous ghost who likes to swing open the console lid at his discretion, what happens if he turns malignant?

Good review and really Nice car. Wish they sold these in England

this car is based on the Holden Commodore HSV R8 and yes they come with a towbar for your boat or caravan or tandem car trailer....the R8 is 6 sp manual...they also still make the wagon..HSV R8 Tourer.

I wish I could afford this car. I love this thing.

Ohh man Cadillac please offer AWD versions for us Canadians!

funny it said on the gauge 5.1 MPG. did you review the twin turbo V6?

Anything with a "63" after it or an "M" before it, better watch out!

Do you keep bumping the Console lid? or does it open on its own?

This car is pretty badass and also happens to look good. How much is it?

8:38 console lid isn't closed :). good review awesome car :). Looks like someone already caught the lid... carry on lol :).

Great review. Gonna be a toss up between this and a hellcat loo

13:01 nice view for next generation of headlights

Why the center console lid wont stay close when road racing?

They should have included that instrument led screen in the ATS V as well

Are there any tracks in Western Canada where you can push your vehicle for some laps?>

Nice review man, wish i could have a go in that car =/

4 door Vette. (Actually better because Cadillac always started with a car that could beat the Vette but had to tone it down to not take away from the vettes buyers.) Both are amazing cars, but honestly I'd rather have this.

Great review. Dream car.

Great review

I'm buying this car in like 20 years when they've turned into the old cars

As I've said before, I'll repeat here. The Corvette Z06 and CTS-V were a split investment/partnership. Z06 got an upgraded interior, but got an undersized supercharger in exchange. The LT4 needed to fit under the Cadillac hoodline with the strut brace. This forced engineers to use a smaller displacement blower on the Z06, thus watering that car down for the sake of CTS-V. In addition, this 8spd was a transmission that belongs in every car but a Corvette really. I think they made it as stout as possible, but overall the LT4/8spd is a Cadillac CTS-V drivetrain, far more than it is a Z06. The label Z06 stood for track capable, stiffest chassis...it dates back to the secret RPO by Zora Duntov to put out a race ready Corvette in the 60's. The Z06 is a great car overall, but this compromise with the CTS-V...well...it's a compromise.

this is a good looking car but have you seen the ct6?sexy ass sedan!

Wow.. my next car at the end of 2018 if god willing

Cadillac is just awesome!

@ 8:37 those G forces must be so intense that it popped open the arm compartment haha .... or a design flaw where it's placed ;)

Really beautiful!

This is more like a pure Ad rather than a car review.

One clear downside: Keeping that darn console door closed.

I hope to be able to afford this ctsv some day :D.

@10:59-11:12 did you forget to close the center console? or is it a weak latch for the track speeds?

Nice car but I would have to hit the lottery jackpot in order to buy it. So....I'll buy some tickets today because I want that car!
