CTS-V

Shanghai’s V-Day — Wow!

We posted the fact that Cadillac China held a big event called V-Day in Shanghai to commemorate the arrival of the CTS-V in China.  And that John Heinricy again set a production sedan track record, this time on the F1 circuit in Shanghai.  Well, here are the photos.  All I can say is ….wow!  
Here are some of the facts behind the images:

  • 19,000 fans gathered at the F1 circuit in Shanghai this past Saturday, the hottest May 9 in more than a century there with temperatures around 30° C.  
  • A team of professional stunt drivers from Hollywood performed an incredible show for the crowd. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!  These stunt drivers are professionals on a closed course, and they performed these incredible manuevers (that no one else should ever attempt!) for entertainment purposes only.  There’s your requisite disclaimer. Enjoy the photos.
  • John H wowed the crowd with the performance of the CTS-V, piloting it to the fastest lap ever on that circuit for a fully production-spec sedan.
  • Kinda restores one’s faith in the excitement and passion of the automobile, eh?
