The Cadillac CT6-V will not reach Europe, so we will have to content ourselves with the desire to drive it

It was in March 2018 when the Cadillac CT6-V was first announced, although at that time it was called Cadillac CT6-V Sport. Little by little, more details have become known, including the name change, which dropped the Sport suffix. The units of this model are equipped with a 4.2-litre twin-turbo V8 engine, a brand-specific unit named Blackwing. It is capable of delivering a power output of 550 CV and 867 Nm of torque.

Only 275 units of this model are expected, although deliveries were expected to take place well before they actually have. The cause of the delay has been some problem with emissions, although the brand has not confirmed anything in this regard. The price of each of these cars has risen by 4,000 euros above the original forecast, reaching 92,790 dollars. This applies in the United States, because the different markets that expected to have this car on their roads will not be able to enjoy it.

In principle, it has been ruled out that the Cadillac CT6-V will reach Europe, but nor will drivers in Mexico and the Middle East be able to enjoy it, two priority markets for Cadillac. A decision that has been taken and that has been surprising, because China has also been excluded from the distribution of this special limited model. Quite curious, because China is the most important market for Cadillac, so until a decision is made to take some of these 275 cars to the Asian country, it will be very difficult to consider sending any to another international market.

The Cadillac CT6-V is a more powerful version of the regular model and features not only this specific engine, which will also soon be fitted to other GM models. The presence of this Cadillac CT6-V is imposing and we would certainly like to have a unit of this luxury variant of a car that is already impressive in its own right. Will the American manufacturer change its mind?
