Caddy Takes on the Best in the North American SCCA Championships
Over the past few months many automotive manufacturers have been introducing new racing cars in an attempt to gear up for the upcoming racing season. The usual suspects include Ferrari, Porsche and BMW, while Lamborghini is finally getting competitive and even Maserati is back in the game. All have some sort of highly-tuned race prepared vehicle to hopefully dominate their respective classes in the months to come.

What about Cadillac? Since the GM brand left sports prototype competition it hasn't seen any notable visibility on the track. Still, no one outside of racing's inner circles could have guessed GM's luxury division would put out a competitive CTS-V. Of course enhancing the marque's sporting image is definitely a good idea.

As you may already know, the CTS-V is the super-high performance version of Cadillac's premium import fighter, the CTS. With 400 horsepower under the hood and the ability to out-pace the now legendary M5 at the famed Nürburgring, there's really no better way to get a positive buzz on the street than by stomping all over your most revered competition.
This Caddy will do battle on the track in the North American SCCA championships. GM has signed Max Angelelli and Andy Pilgrim to pilot the car at events such as the Twelve Hours of Sebring, and others.
