The 2009 Cadillac CTS-V was spotted running laps around Milford. A video was taken of the new car and with a commentary from the driver to let us know what he thinks and what he is doing.

The Cadillac communications group invited a group of media to General Motors’ Milford Proving Ground to give them a special preview of the brand new second-generation Cadillac CTS-V. The first glimpse we all got of the CTS-V was last January during the Detroit Auto Show.

Cadillac announced today that their new 2009 CTS-V will be rated at 556 horsepower – which will allow it to go from 0-60 mph in only 3.5 seconds. It has the ability to run an incredible quarter mile in 12 seconds flat!

GM announced some much needed updates on the 2009 Cadillac XLR - which is due to come out in July. The new V-Series have been given revised rear and front fascias that have been given unique grillwork for the different trim levels.
The Platinum will be given the CTS egg-crate look, while the $100K V-Series presumably soldiers on with the mesh visage that is the V signature. New fender vents have been added, and a number of tweaks have been made to the cars’ interiors, including Alcantara headliners, new instrumentation, and a leather cut-and-sew treatment on the instrument panel.
