Cadillac STS-V 2007
Cadillac V-Series: Cadillac Performance and Luxury Taken to the Fullest Extent
The landmark V-Series is a core part of Cadillac's historic renaissance, providing a group of powerful cars able to seriously compete with the world's best and attract new consumers to the brand's revitalized product range. V-Series is about expressing Cadillac performance and luxury to the fullest extent.
The V-Series also has adopted a "handcrafted" approach featuring hand-cut, sewn and wrapped interiors and custom-built engines, bringing a new level of attention to detail, accuracy and craftsmanship to the vehicles, as well as more elegant executions.
Cadillac STS-V 2007
The 2007 STS-V is the most powerful Cadillac ever offered. It extends the sophistication of its STS sibling, but elevates it to a new level of performance and luxury. Designed for everyday driving, 2007 STS-V delivers supercharged, rear-drive performance with an elegant design statement that is unmistakably Cadillac.
Cadillac STS-V is powered by a 4.4-liter Supercharged Northstar V-8 DOHC engine with variable valve timing. It produces 469 horsepower (350 kW) at 6400 rpm and 439 lb.-ft. (595 Nm) of torque at 3800 rpm (SAE certified*). Like the XLR-V, the engine delivers 90 percent of its peak torque between 2200 and 6000 rpm. Vehicle redline is 6700 rpm.
Like Cadillac XLR-V, each engine is hand assembled to exacting standards at GM's Performance Build Center in Wixom, Mich., and is built from start to finish by a single expert craftsman. Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is $77,090, including destination. Production is limited to ensure its exclusivity in the marketplace.
The engine is mated to the all-new Hydra-Matic 6L80 six-speed automatic transmission - the first use of GM's new six-speed automatic with Driver Shift Control. This powerful combination enables 0-to-60 (mph) acceleration in less than five seconds.
Cadillac STS-V features numerous chassis enhancements for outstanding overall performance and a balanced ride feel, developed and tuned at some of the world's most demanding environments.
These changes include higher rate 75N/mm front springs and a larger diameter, 36 mm stabilizer bar. In the rear, spring rates are increased to 80 N/mm with an increased diameter, 25.4 mm stabilizer bar.
Specifically tuned Sachs monotube shock absorbers manage tire and wheel masses and smooth out road disturbances. A specific, faster 17.2:1 steering gear is included in the chassis tuning package. Additionally, a high-capacity steering cooler is added.
2007 Cadillac STS-V is equipped with massive Brembo 355 mm x 32 mm front brake rotors and 365 mm x 28 mm rear brake rotors. Both front and rear brake rotors are vented for extra cooling capacity. Four piston calipers on all four corners assure excellent stopping performance.
To ensure superior traction and handle the additional power of the engine, rear tire size increases to P275/40R19 extended mobility Pirelli tires fitted to 19 x 9.5-inch aluminum alloy wheels. Front tires are P255/45R18 Pirelli run flats mounted on 18 x 8.5-inch alloy wheels.
