Cadillac has recently unveiled the third generation V-series 2016 CTS-V Sedan. The luxury carmaker describes the car as "the most powerful vehicle in their 112-year history" and it seems that they did good on their promise. The car was made available for a test spin with majority of the reviewers giving positive feedback for the vehicle.

According to Cadillac President Johan de Nysschen, new CTS-V sedan is comparable to having the best of both worlds in the automotive industry.

"The new CTS-V is essentially two cars in one: a luxury sedan with sophisticated road manners and a track-capable sports car with awe-inspiring performance," the car manufacturer chief said in a statement.

This claim is not an overstatement considering that Cadillac has installed a 6.2-liter supercharged LT4 V8 engine to the new sedan. The huge upgrade is said to feature a significant change in the performance of the car. This only means that the power of the vehicle will reach high proportions such as a 640 horsepower along with a 630 pound-feet of torque.

The same engine has been placed in the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and one can only imagine the power it is capable of giving out.

Motor Authority described the new sedan as "one hell of a salvo." Nelson Ireson of the online site called his experience in driving the car as "breathtaking: brutal, endless acceleration; shockingly good braking; neck-stretching grip and damned good."

Meanwhile, Road and Track praised the extra features that come with the new Cadillac sedan. It noted that the car's "sheer grip and solid chassis pulled fat from fire every time, almost without being asked." And this ability definitely impressed the people from the magazine considering that it's not everyday that one would need to do that move but Cadillac still included it in the new sedan.

With a supercharged V8 engine, one concern for many drivers is the amount of fuel the car can consume. Motor Trend recorded a "14.9 mpg city, 21.5 mpg highway and 17.3 mpg combined," which is impressive since the previous version of the CTS-V only clocked in 12 mpg city, 18 mpg highway and 14 mpg combined.

Even with this power, the car is still far from perfect, according to the Wall Street Journal. The site noted that while the carmaker did good with its promise of an "uncompromised luxury sedan that is track-ready off the showroom floor," there was no mention of how many number of laps it can do without ruining the steel rotors.

However, it did say that the test drive was indeed "memorable," even if it failed to show the true length of the car's ability to do laps.

The 2016 Cadillac CTS-V is available at the starting price of $84,990.
