The 2011 Cadillac CTS-V is offered as a single model, pretty much including everything that's expected in a traditional luxury car, plus a few additional tech features.

Xenon HID headlamps, Adaptive Forward Lighting, ultrasonic rear parking assist, rain-sensing wipers, heated power front seats, and dual-zone climate control are all there. So is a surround-sound audio system with a 40GB hard drive, USB connectivity, DVD compatibility, and a Bluetooth interface.

Upgrade to the navigation system and you get one of the best screens we've tested; the sharp color screen functions as a radio display when stowed but extends upward when using nav functions. It also incorporates XM NavTraffic to provide live traffic information on maps and dynamic rerouting. Cadillac also provides a place to put the keyfob for the handy EZ key entry system, which can be set to automatically unlock the doors as you approach.

For 2011, the CTS-V, like all Cadillacs, gets Cadillac Premium Care Maintenance, which covers all oil changes, inspections, and other scheduled maintenance for four years or 50,000 miles. A rear vision camera and heated steering wheel are newly available, and OnStar has been upgraded.

Conclusion

The 2011 CTS-V packs in all the excellent audio and navigation systems, the long list of luxury features, and adds some serious performance upgrades to go with its thrilling track-ready performance.
