Cadillac initially announced that it will offer 275 units of the new CT6-V for pre-order in the United States. Those units sold out within a few minutes of going live, and the circumstance caused some to think that the CT6-V will be limited to 275 units. That’s not the case.
We reached out to Cadillac, and were told by JL Lavina that the 275 figure is the amount of CT6-V units made available for pre-order, and that more units of the high-performance sedan will be available thereafter.
How many units of the CT6-V Cadillac will end up building is currently unknown, but it will definitely be more than 275.
To note, those 275 pre-order units include tuition and luxury accommodation at the 2-day Cadillac V-Performance Academy at Spring Mountain. The offer is valid for 1 year and is reserved for the original owner of each new, unused model.
The CT6-V is the most powerful model of the CT6 sedan. It features Cadillac’s all-new, hand-built 4.2-liter twin-turbo V8 LTA engine called Blackwing rated at 550 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque, paired to a new 10-speed automatic transmission driving all four wheels. Other notable features include a special tune to the Magnetic Ride Control suspension system.
The 2019 Cadillac CT6-V starts at $88,790 without any optional packages, or fees such as tax, title, license, delivery, or dealer fees.
We're not aware of any plans to bring the updated XT6 to North America.
Or, as we like to call it, the Precise Monster.
