Supercharged powertrain
CTS-V Coupe employs 6.2L LSA supercharged V-8 engine is also found in the CTS-V Sport Sedan. Ranked 556 horsepower (415 kW) and 551 lb.-ft. torque (747 Nm), it is the most powerful engine offered in the history of the Cadillac and drive CTS-V Coupe from 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds.

Technical enabler that dual-mode driving character is a landmark Magnetic Control Up Cadillac. This is standard on the CTS-V Coupe and fastest-reacting suspension technology world. Uses shocks controlled by advanced magneto-rheological technology, rather than mechanical valves, to further speed up response time and precision.
Electronic sensors at all four wheels literally "read the road" every millisecond, making constant adjustments to damping to create virtually instantaneous and the control of body movements are very precise. This is of particular benefit to high-performance cars because it helps keep the car very composed during hard cornering, acceleration, braking and other dynamic maneuvers.
Up Magnetic shocks also allow extensive control over travel and damping to optimize handling for all driving conditions. In the CTS-V Coupe, an extra measure of control is offered, with two selected modes (Tour and Sport), allowing the driver to adjust the suspension for a big tour or a more spirited driving performance.
