Cadillac CTS V Wagon

Earlier this year, GM debuted the CTS-V Coupe at the Detrtoit Auto Show. Now Brenda Priddy's photo network bagged this latest piece of Cadillac's puzzle, the 2011 CTS-V wagon. Like other V-series cars, the CTS-V wagon will wear a wire mesh grille, a power dome hood, wider wheels and tires, larger brake calipers and sportier body work.

Under that power dome hood sits the now familiar LSA, a 6.2L, supercharged V8 good for 556hp and 551 ft lbs in the CTS-V sedan. Expect the wagon specs to be similar. Look for it in showrooms by late summer or fall.
