Welcome to my first installment of my "Dream Car Highlights" series! I will highlight briefly in these posts cars I desire or have desired to own at some point in time. Note, that I'm not much of an "exotic" car guy. So, while some may appear occasionally, this series will largely be comprised of cars I've seen at dealers, on the road, etc. that piqued my interest or that are "unique" in some way. Might not be what you'd expect always. With that said - let's get going!

| The CT6-V may just end up being a one-off model... |
What is it: A high-performance
version of Cadillac’s full-sized luxury sedan, the CT6. It features a
twin-turbo “Blackwing” V8, good for 550 HP and 627 lb-ft of torque paired to a
10-speed automatic with torque splitting AWD. Track-tuned active rear steering
is also standard. Base price is $89,785.
Why do you want it: The regular
CT6 is already a well-rounded, enjoyable large luxury sedan. This model just
adds to that and ups the ante with additional power and style to match. What’s
more, is that only 275 for now are supposedly being produced! And they’re
already SOLD OUT! If you haven’t heard - GM is undergoing a big restructuring
and getting rid of many 4-door cars, and the CT6 looks to be one of those
vehicles. But rumor is this may change apparently now, and the CT6 may stick
around... We’ll see...
The CT6-V could basically be
Cadillac’s “last stand” in terms of full-sized sedans. The way the market is
rapidly shifting towards efficiency, crossovers and trucks, a full-sized
American V8-powered performance sedan could never be seen again after this - essentially
making this a GUARANTEED collector’s item I feel. It’s for that very reason, I
want one in my garage possibly one day. I like unique, fun and useful things.
As I mentioned, new blog posts will continue, but will largely depend on my grad school/work schedules. Until next time, ROLL ON!
