Cadillac STS-V Parts & Accessories

In a luxury sport sedan market that's traditionally dominated by German carmakers, the Cadillac STS-V makes a tremendous impression. A model from Cadillac's V-Series line of ultra-performance vehicles, the STS-V is based on the STS large sedan. With its supercharged V8 producing 469 horsepower and 439 lb-ft of torque it's the most powerful car Cadillac has ever produced. The car also comes with upgraded hardware for improved handling and braking and minor styling changes to differentiate it from regular STS models. The focus on performance doesn't come at the expense of luxury. Just like the standard version, the V-Series sedan is comfy, plush and loaded with a generous amount of premium features. Overall, we're quite impressed. Though the Cadillac STS-V doesn't quite match some competing models in terms of maximum performance or prestige, we still think it's a very viable choice for a big-bore luxury sport sedan. Distinguishing the STS-V from the standard STS are larger wheels (18-inchers in front and 19s in the back), massive Brembo brakes, a larger front grille for improved airflow, additional brake ducts, and additional aerodynamic and stylistic enhancements. Zero to 60 is accomplished in 5.1 seconds. A highly responsive six-speed automatic transmission (with manual shift control) is standard. But the Cadillac STS-V is world-class in ways beyond its under-the-hood muscle. It has been outfitted with a sport-tuned suspension. And compared to a standard STS, V-Series sedan's steering is quicker. The result is that it handles like a car half its size while providing meaningful feedback to its driver. A limited-slip differential, antilock brakes, stability control and traction control are all standard on the STS-V. Other safety equipment includes front-seat side airbags and full-length head curtain airbags. A tire-pressure monitor and rear park-assist system are also standard.
