Roadfly.com - 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe Road Test & Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 жов 2010
- We finally had a chance to test drive the 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe. The MSRP starts at $63K and even at that price you get a ton of bang for your buck. Not to mention all that horsepower. 0-60 MPH on the CTS-V Coupe is 3.9 seconds. The supercharged V8 produces 556 Horsepower.
Roadflys review of the CTS-V Coupe confirms that Cadillac is going head to head against the best the Germans have to offer. The Cadillac CTS-V by just about every test beats the Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG and BMWs M5.

She has all the specifications I need
I love the CTS-V. All new cadillacs look so good and the quality is like that of Audi,BMW and Mercedes.
Rain or shine the show must go on... Thanks for sharing this great car!
Jessi and the crew are DEDICATED! Not many car reviewers would have pressed on in the rain for this. She covered a lot of info in an easy way. Helpful feedback on the 2011. Worth noting: 2011s and up received a revised supercharger but were never recalibrated by GM or the SAE. They're rated at the same 556bhp but make closer to 600. We've dyno'd 500-505whp through the stock filter on the 2011-2012 CTS-Vs here in Texas. Solid car!
These things are depreciating at an awesome rate. I looked at one last week in my area, a 2011 with only 16k miles for $43k. That's pretty ridiculously awesome.
What a useful vid homie.. much love for sharing this.
Whatever the weather, Jessi always delivers.
Jessi you do a great job, love your reviews!
Looks amazing. Great lines. I'd love to ride it. Oh yeah, the car's pretty sweet too.
I am a Cadillac Fan. Cadillac Company Management and Engineering team knows what their doing. Premium Luxury Brand and Re-knowned for Reliability.
Sweet vid, im in love with both the car and you
What happened to Roadfly TV? I use to watch you guys as a kid.
Both are beautiful to look at!
Wow. Beautiful. I love videos like this one.
best looking car on the road today. Im getting one asap. Great job caddy.
great review Jessi how are doing? Are you feeling better and were can we see your latest work ?
@roadflytv i love your reviews roadfly YOU ROCK
wow. that was an excellent review!
That was an awesome review! That car seems like it is worth a test drive. I don't have a good local Cadillac dealer. I wish they would open one up close to my house.
What a rebel, review rain or shine!
This is the first car video ever in the rain lol.
Jessi is awesome!
the engine on the 2009-present Cadillac CTS-V
Engine
6.2 L S/C LSA V8 (556 hp)
hey I can love to be with u tonight
great film, i love that caddy, but your right you have to get the stick. And doing the close in the rain was very funny it shows your a hard worker.
Happy V day a little late
nice ride
Im glad she mentioned the blind spots. I always wondered if those pillars were going to be a problem or not but no one ever talks about it. Probably the second most important thing I look for in a new car (1st being How fun is it to drive) would be visibility.
Gm outstanding design !
Smart and pretty, great review Jessi.
This car's pretty impressive.
I cant wait for this car Monday.. im getting the chance to drive it for a week...GM ROCKS
Hahahaha Nobody can pass up a chance to comment on how hot the commentator is. I find that quite entertaining. I love the CTS-V. Cadillac has actually successfully penetrated the euro oriented performance luxury market because they made a giant leap forward in interior quality, ride quality and have produced a car that outperforms European offerings in speed and luxury while undercutting them on price. It's amazing that GM has managed to keep the ancient pushrod layout even into the modern age.
if you take a step back at look at the specs, 556 HP is an absolutely mind blowing figure. i remember when 300 hp was nuts
very nice review. i live in the DC area. I was actually wondering how this hold when we have those random blizzards and thunderstorms through out the area? I love this car.
Jesse you've got great reviews and legs.
Definitively, that's a real dream car
I wanna test drive both of them!!!
GM has did a very becoming brilliant job on the CTS coupe Cadillac!!!
Wow! Muscle and elegance in an American coupe. Awesome.
This young lady has a very nice way of presenting her opinion of the vehicle. Professional and yet pleasantly friendly. Delightful.
As a rule of thumb a turbo charged engine is built with a low compression ratio to prevent detonation when the boost comes up. That hurts fuel economy. It would be interesting to learn what the engine without turbo boost is capable of. A higher compression ratio would allow better fuel mileage.
I could listen to her all day. I came when she said "It's got a 2 liter supercharged V8 that produces 556 horsepower and 551 lb-ft of tourqe".
I have the '12 M6 Coupe. It's been great. Not one trip to the dealer for repairs. Just back tires & oil changes.
I never really liked Cadillac to begin with but this car flips the script entirley. I think the Rear of the CTS coupe was flawlessly executed, the front fascia obviously resembles the CTS sedan as they both share the same genetic code. I really like that this CTS coupe is priced like a G37 & 3 series coupe but with the space and size similar to that of a 6 series. The interior looks very upscale, the design as a whole is very pleasing and suprisingly not akward looking at any angle.Great coupe!
Hope she is well 👍🏽
Great review guys! I hope you get Jessi to a track one of these days and get her laying down some real lap times! In car like this they both deserve to go play!
love that caddy
very cool. love your presentation. I love american engines and cadillac coupes are for men/women of class.
Dios mio Sera que algun Dia llegara a tener uno de eso solo para mi? noonon que Belleza de carro.
I soooooooooooooooooo miss you Jessie!!!!
NO WAY! My favorouite reporter in my favorouite car. =D I'm getting a CTS-V in the future, with the LSA engine.
@CrooklynKing85
i agree even thought the actual rivals are the m5 and e63 which are $25k+
@KANATADOMPIZ Exactly, you put the plastic cover on top of a puny 4 cylinder engine, not a 5 liter v10 (or whatever)
Anyone paying attention to the car? I'm not.. she's too hot.
I've seen some going for about high 40s used with a decent amount of miles. They are holding their resale value pretty strong. I'm hoping to see the ATS-V, and its pricing.
You gotta love a girl who's not worried about being out in the rain to talk about cars
@xBaitMyScenex this is a car that you have to see in person,i saw one for the first time up close not to long ago and it was amazing
This car is the mother of all luxury! To me its such a good deal compared to the competition. Love the platform gms a had with the 6.2 supercharged between this the zr1 and the zl1. All ranking top of my list for dream cars
dont know how many times i've watched this vid, but I'm done looking at the car. SHE IS ALL I'm looking at, and I never get tired of it!!! Jessi, You're wonderfull, beatifull, incredible, loveable, adorable....... I cant say enough....you're an angel! (still not enough) :). Will always enjoy your reviews! MUAH :)
Yes Cadillac is
This car is amazing. i had a chance to test drive it, granted it was in downtown DC but i was still about to light up the tires through a few intersections. she is right about this car in every aspect.
was this shot down the George Washington Parkway in DC?
@georgess01 Supposed to be M6. The new ATS is the M3 competitor.
@MWARDEM they're based off of the same platform so actually he is pretty much right. it's a 5/6 series, E class competitor at an M3 pricepoint.
first car-presentation-video EVER ... with rain!
She's got great standard equipment ;) !!!
i like how she actually gets exited about cars, some other reviewers seem apathetic.
I'm a female & I love this car which I am debating to purchase. Its a rare form that it comes in an automatic & this particular model she is driving is an automatic. I've driven a v-coupe & the clutch is actually pretty stiff as opposed to my current BMW 545I. The handling when you are hitting a curve to me is not as nice as a beemer but shifting through the gears is smooth, has a better displacement but overall handling is not like a beemer. So speed, some luxury features & price is A+!
@SamZe85 lol this is very tru,,,speacially the e92 convertable
Love her smile!
she sounds so happy at the end.
jessi you are perfect.
Oh snap! 556 HP, 6.2 L Supercharged motor? Love the car, love the girl, I would like one of each please. Thanks
I took it on a roadtest, sooo nice but honestly they start out at 37,000. The supercharged version shown is 63,000
hell of a car.
on a serious note though, another review I saw said the dated transmission was the only thing holding the car back
Jessi, I think you need some LED video lights, some of the interior shots where very dark (when you're driving)
@The300ZXGuru you are right I got 32MPG in a 1990ZR1 driving from Manhatten to Binghamton N.Y. on interstate 84 and that is quite hilly but city mileage will suffer a lot from a blower because at idol you are turning the blower so every light and stop sucks double gas
So this is around the price of a GT-R but without 2 seats and slower? Does it have 2 extra seats in the back? I couldn't tell.
Nice styling on the CTSV coup. The gas mileage is terrible though. Good review Jessie.
that car looks so goooooooooooddddddd!
as i watch this video this song started playing in my head The Isley Brothers-Who's That lady
So this is around the price of a GT-R but without 2 seats, a bigger engine, more horsepower but slower? Does it have 2 extra seats in the back? I couldn't tell.
Seems like one hell of car to fix when it breaks down!
The ctsv has an option for blind spot detection. I have it on my 2012 ctsv coupe
@gtrevino12 MPG and Horsepower is not linearly relative. Take a look at MPG of Corvettee, fiber-glass body (light weight) wtih low coefficient of drag(low air resistance) make it high mpg vehicle regardless to such high hp. 2010 7.0L 505hp Corvette Z06 makes 24mpg hwy.
Was this video taken in australia by any chance jessy?
@dentonbrowne because it fits in the glove box in a cts-v
@roadflytv Hi Charlie. I haven't tried them myself but how about the Rosco LightPads? They are supposed to provide soft illumination fill, are a small flat size, low power and run on 12V DC! :-) Maybe 2 or 3 of the smallest ones strategically placed might do the trick?
filmtoolsDOTcom and bhphotovideoDOTcom etc have them.
Best of luck!
I want to see the v-wagon!
Sweet
You guys are pervs. But nice ride CTS's are my favorite cadillac :D
i dont know much about cars but i want this to be my first car!
nice I wonder what the 1/4 is?(and I thought the V'S only came with a 6 speed(I'm glade there's an auto there better for drag racing)
@TheDartblockstang not bad from a supercharged engine with that much power
@Ninjahinfany 70k actually.
Love the coupes look and driving position but the mpg sucks as I live in the uk
@yadicals I agree
I'm french and I'd love to drive this car !
@g1981c 911 turbo is double the cost. 100% agree 911tt is the next step up.
I find this is an M3 competitor. Here is how I see it: M3 is performance, ISF is balance, C65 AMG is rip your face off, RS5 is looks and refined driving and CTS-V is brute power and luxury.
@customX09 are you kidding me? the rear of the cts-v is one of the sexiest, the way the tail lights arch on top of the trunk is sweet. And besides, you even know what to do with the girls back end...
Jessi, youre getting thumbs up because they recognize you.
NICE VERY NICE
Pagani Zonda $400,000 does 0-60 in 3.8. This car does it in 3.9 is very impressive
