Vehicle Description
A Caddy with the sophisticated Northstar V8 is the kind of car we all love. But when that motor is supercharged to 469 hp, the suspension is given a major performance upgrade, and the whole body is given a sleekmakeover – then you know you're in for something special. So check out the details on this rare 2006 Cadillac STS-V while it's still here.
This was the big Caddy that was out to take down the German sports sedans, so it looks best in a Teutonic shade of silver. But the bodywork is angular and distinctly American... It just looks muscular on the road and backs it up with legitimate performance. The V makeover added a domed hood, the mesh grille, deeper air dam, side skirts, and a subtle deck lid spoiler, all of which enhance performance and looks without becoming too boy-racer – exactly the level of sophistication you'd expect from Cadillac's V-series. So while this is a tool for speed, the look is more of a skill saw than a hammer. Even the large factory alloys backup this precision instrument image.
The impressive black leather interior delivers just the right blend of performance and luxury. Body-hugging buckets with suede inserts are perfectly appropriate for the speedy sedan's abilities, and you'll arrive after a long journey feeling refreshed. The woodgrained dash warms things up a bit and highlight the big infotainment screen at the top of the center stack that runs everything from the satellite navigation to the Bose AM/FM/CD stereo. Clear analog gauges are brightly lit from behind and the technology packed into this car is impressive, ranging from tire pressure monitoring to OnStar. Other features include power sunroof, power seats, heated seats, power windows, power locks, cruise control, and automatic climate control. It's a true luxury and speed machine, and the STS has the perfect size to take family and friends along for the experience.
The STS-V used Cadillac's proprietary Northstar DOHC V8 engine displacing 4.4-liters, and on top is a supercharger that turns this into a 469 hp big power machine. In fact, this was more than the C6 Corvette on sale in '06. This is the original motor to the car, and so it still gives the silky smooth performance around town that you love from a true Cadillac. But the moment you want to hit the open road, the six-speed automatic grabs a lower gear, the supercharger instantly comes to life, and the dual exhaust gives a mighty roar. The suspension is adapts to your aggressive nature, and when combined with the four-wheel disc brakes and grippy Michelin performance tires, this is the Cadillac of sports sedans.
A supercharged Cadillac STS-V is a beautiful thing that was out of reach for most of us when new. Complete with owner's manual, this rare treat still has all the fun but a much more obtainable price. Call today!!!
