German tuner Cam Shaft decided the Cadillac CTS-V is wearing too much bling, and it’s time for it to grow out of that America stuff and put on a more macho face. So they wrapped it up in matte-white foil and sprayed all the chrome parts, including the wheels, in matt-black. Cool, we just wish they’d wrapped the body in matt-black as well.
They’ve also fiddled with the car’s supercharged V8 and upgraded it using Wait4Me performance parts (we thought Cam Shaft is a ridiculous name for a tuner!) including larger air intake and optimized ECU. As a result, this 6.2 liter unit now churns out 630 hp. They’ve made it a bit too serious!
Prices:
– Full foil finishing of the outer visible surfaces in matt-white costs 2250 €.
– Deplating and painting of 25 chrome parts in matt-black, including wheels painted in matt-black and black nickel-plated wheel bolts costs 3250 €.
– Compressor kit costs 3800 € including installation.
Now they’ve made it more boring-looking (ala BMW) and probably dropped the fuel efficiency to 2 MPG. No thanks; I’d take the standard version and save the nine thousand euros.
