New CTS-V, Our 2014 Favorites

Cadillac Makes a Fist, Calls it New CTS-V Slide Show Bonanza: Our Faves, Best-Selling, More!      NEW CARS USED CARS ROAD TESTS AUTO SHOWS FUTURE PHOTOS VIDEOS FEATURES BLOGS FORUMS WOT

2016 Cadillac CTS-V First Look Ultra-High-Strength-Steel Fist in a Velvet Glove To help dry the tears of fans mourning the loss of the CTS-V family of coupe, wagon, and sedan offerings, the new replacement sedan will be fortified with even more vitamins H and T: SAE-certified horsepower and torque ratings come in at 640 hp and 630 lb-ft, up from the outgoing supercharged 6.2-liter's 556 hp and 551 lb-ft. No row-your-own option will be offered, as the new ATS-V coupe and sedan -- both offered with a stick -- will now fill that extreme track-star niche, allowing the CTS-V to become more refined and luxurious. Hence the sole offering of a swift-shifting 8L90E eight-speed automatic. With a curb weight of 4150 pounds (6.5 lb/hp), that will help deliver 0-60-mph acceleration in an officially -- and perhaps conservatively quoted -- 3.7 seconds. Also new: This Corvette Z06-derived powertrain features an Eco driving mode that enables cylinder deactivation for tiptoeing around in dainty fuel-sipping four-cylinder mode.

2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat First Test

Charger Hellcat Hits The Test Track Bentley vs. Mercedes-Benz | Pobst Tests The M1      NEW CARS USED CARS ROAD TESTS AUTO SHOWS FUTURE PHOTOS VIDEOS FEATURES BLOGS FORUMS WOT

2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat First Test Helluva Hashtag Fest: #707Horsepower #SuperchargedHEMI #LudicrousSpeed #MuscleCars #HellzYeah Seven-oh-seven horsepower. In a full-size American sedan. Let that sink in. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is the most powerful production sedan ever built. And with a claimed 204-mph top speed, Chrysler says it's also the fastest production sedan ever. The fact that the Charger has four doors makes it even more ludicrous than its two-door Challenger counterpart, which we loved dearly in our First Test and a comparison against the supercharged 580-hp Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. (The supercharged 662-hp Ford Shelby GT500 has been discontinued.) Like the Challenger SRT Hellcat, the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat's astonishing 707 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque come from a supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi V-8 mated strictly to an ZF eight-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. (A six-speed manual is available on the Challenger SRT Hellcat.) The Charger SRT Hellcat rides on 20-by-9.5-inch forged wheels wrapped in 275/40R20 Pirelli P Zero tires on all four corners. If those tires sound narrow for 707 hp, you would be correct. SO HOW'D IT DO AT THE TRACK?
