Forced Induction V8 for the next Cadillac CTS-V



Word on the street is the fact that the next-gen Cadillac CTS-V , due as a 2014 model , will certainly keep its force-fed powerplant however the design is going to be based upon the modern 6 .2-liter LT1 which will find a home under the hood of the brand new Corvette . General Motors is reportedly focusing on two variants of the engine , one supercharged and the other with twin turbochargers – among the engines will serve duty in the forthcoming CTS-V as well as the brand's upcoming rear-wheel drive flagship . Expect the engine , regardless of the intake method , to make a lot more power compared to the current powerplant ( a 6 .2-liter V8 with an Eaton Twin Vortices Series supercharger developing 556 horsepower and 551 pound-feet of torque ) , but with improved efficiency . 

The ATS-V , nevertheless officially unannounced , will supposedly obtain a twin-turbocharged V6 . That engine ought to be a lot powerful , however if consumers demand even more displacement there is room under the hood for something as large as a 7 .0-liter V8 , say reports . Wouldn't that be enjoyable ?
