Referred to as the CTS-V Series Plus by spectators at the Nürburgring, this CTS mule is said to be powered by a 6.0-liter V-8, and sources are estimating the horsepower to be in the 475-500 range. General Motors is aggressively testing this more powerful CTS, but production plans have not yet been confirmed.

The vehicle show here is actually an older CTS-V mule. The higher-performance CTS-V Plus uses a larger-displacement pushrod small-block engine, so the hood hump should disappear in production.

The wheel arch flares seem to be further out than normal too.
I wonder if it's using an AWD driveline.
That would be a weapon. :D

Doesn't the CTS run the new HFV6 and 5A that will be in the new Comm? Isn't GM moving to a global RWD platform based on Holden RWD (or at least on luxury models) Feasible then that this would be running the new LS2, with possibly Holden's 4WD system under it.

I agree weapon. :burnout: :thumbsup: :drool:
