Slated to be the fastest wagon to ever come off of an assembly line, the new 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon has been announced to have a starting price of $62,990. The CTS-V Sport Wagon does not have much immediate competition in the Americas but if it did, in the form of the BMW M5 or Mercedes Benz E63 AMG, it would be the better performer. That’s because of its same LSA 6.2-liter 556hp Supercharged V8 engine found in the other CTS-V models (Coupe and Sedan).
The CTS-V Sport Wagon will be almost just as fast as its siblings (CTS-V Sedan/Coupe) with a 0-60mph time of 4.0 seconds. The 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon is currently available for ordering and will be sold in limited quantities according to Cadillac.
