Field Work

We've shared a lot of videos and stories about track testing the CTS-V, for obvious reasons. But this isn't a race car. It's a luxury sedan (albeit a REALLY high-performing one!) That means we're striving to make it very capable and confidence-inspiring in a wide range of environments. If you've been to this blog in the past, you may have seen some of the coverage done regarding extreme winter traction testing.

A lot of that work, of course, involved the AWD system on the "regular" CTS. Even though this is the V-Series, we still went "up North" to do some of the same sorts of tests recently. These shots are from the "snow field" at our test facility in Kinross in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. While it's still cold up there even in April, these shots were actually taken a couple of months ago when they were still in the middle of winter.

I may be a little ambitious, but the blacked-out grille with the chrome upper(hood forward edge?) and wheels looks great.


So when will a turbo version of the AWD CTS be available?

I'm anxiously awaiting a CTC-V as a toy. But was curious why Caddy doesn't have a more aggressive AWD.
