A significant record recently dropped at the legendary Nordschleife circuit at Nurburgring.
In testing last week at Germany’s Nurburgring, Cadillac’s upcoming new 2009 CTS- V completed a lap of the legendary Nordschleife in 7:59.32. This blistering time appears to be the fastest ever publicly documented for a production sedan.
Cadillac is nearing the completion of testing for the highly anticipated CTS- V, the limited-edition high-performance model based on the CTS sport sedan. John Heinricy, executive with GM Performance Division and a very successful SCCA racing driver, piloted the CTS- V through its sub-8 minute lap. The car itself had no performance modifications outside of those planned for consumer production, which is scheduled to begin this fall.
Here is the production sedan record lap:
