Cadillac STS-V

2007 Cadillac STS-V 4.4L finished in dark metallic grey. Chassis number 1G6DX67D870171598, Swedish sold with only 2 owners and showing 130350 miles (209777 km).

Standard equipment is in line with the STS and includes a navigation system, a sunroof, a 15-speaker Bose audio system (with satellite radio and a six-disc CD / DVD changer), xenon HID headlights, rear park assist, keyless entry / start, heated front and rear seats, a power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel and eight-way power front seats.

As part of the Cadillac V Series this high performance luxury sports sedan features a number of upgrades courtesy of General Motors Performance Division, an entity setup to enable GM's offerings to compete directly with German rivals such as BMW M and Mercedes-AMG. The brands commitment is shown in the fact development and performance testing of the STS-V was done at the Nordschleife circuit of Germanys famed Nürburgring.

Starting with the engine, the STS-V features a hand built and fully reworked, supercharged version of the Northstar 4.4L V8, adding 50% new components including a stronger block and new cylinder heads. The resulting 469bhp enables the STS-V to hit 60 mph in just 5 seconds.

Chassis and handling upgrades include performance-tuned suspension, large 255 / 45R18 front and 275 / 40R19 rear tires and serious stopping power in the form of upgraded Brembo brakes. Additionally the car is fitted with a quicker steering rack and the all important limited slip differential enabling the car to effectively put down that power out of the corners.

Aesthetically the car stands apart from the rest of the range too with mesh front grille and aggressive lower airdam, bulged bonnet, unique design wheels (18 "front 19" rear) and a subtle spoiler. Inside the driver and occupants are greeted by olive wood and aluminum accents, and supple leather seating with sporty suede inserts, crafted by German company Dräxlmaier, whose prior credit includes the Maybach 57 and 62.

The STS-V presents you a more pliant, usable and certainly more unique alternative to an M5 or E63.
