“The CTS-V is airborne at three points in the video — The 'Ring’s notorious for flinging cars up in the air and it tried to send this Cadillac into orbit as well. However the active suspension incorporating the magnetic ride shocks has been tuned to deal with precisely such launches. Because he knew the car would leap flat, fly flat and land flat, Heinricy never had to lift once during the run. “Dave Mikels is the guy behind it,” our source told us, “and he’s done an absolutely amazing job.””
“Burnouts 'R Us — Unrelated to the run around the 'Ring, but good to know is that epic burnouts have been part of the new CTS-V’s engineering all along. In both manual or automatic transmission modes it will be possible, said our confidante, “to annihilate the tires like John Force if you want.””
I want one.
