You KNOW that they wouldn't have said it that way if it was the M3 or M5 or some other uber car. They would've been all over it to explain it a whole bunch better.
Oh, another point relative to the 600 hp: If that's indeed true, I wonder if the volume will be significantly lower than the 3-4,000 units we've seen these last few years. Maybe down around 1-1.5k units or even less?

It appears my brother has a lot of free time these days. He whipped up this rendering of what he thinks the CTS-V should look like.
Thought I would share it.
The pic on the top was the original that came from a Motortrend article.
Dave's rendering is below. |

The MT render was pretty bad to begin with, but the other is worse.
1- It's ugly
2- The lower grill is necessary for cooling
3- It's ugly

The real one doesn't look quite like that. Wheels different (sweeter), body kit different (cooler). |

You guys seen this?
"The experimental 6.2L V-8 produces nearly 500 hp with direct-injection gasoline technology and is timed for possible release with upcoming Gen V variants of the small-block architecture." http://www.gminsidenews.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=54138

|  | Cadillac Owners Connoisseur Cadillac(s): The Mighty Kael, 2004 Black CTS, Every Option | | Join Date: Jul 2005 Location: IL | | | I hope the 09 V has 600hp, the new RS6 specs
got this off my other forum, I sure do hope the 09V has the 600hp motor to mess with this uppity audi: http://www.motorauthority.com/wp-con..._rs6_avant.jpg
We recently reported that leaked vehicle chassis codes for the new Audi RS6 specced the output from its twin-turbo V10 engine at 571hp (426kW). Recent information from a source at Audi, however, has put this figure in doubt. The reliable source claims that the 571hp will only be the specified figure Audi will market the car with. True output will be upwards of 600hp, with 610hp (455kW) pegged as the most likely figure. It looks like Audi is taking no chances with the ultimate “wolf in sheep’s clothing” model and even BMW’s excellent V10 motor will struggle to compete with this kind of power output. To give you an idea of just how high this figure is, the RS6 will churn out more horses than the Corvette Z06, BMW M6, Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera, Ferrari F430 Scuderia, Aston Martin DBS, Porsche 911 GT2, and even Mercedes’ epic bi-turbo V12 CL65 AMG.
While we’re always happy to see manufacturers pushing the limit, surely there comes a time when outright power figures get out of control. The previous RS6 wasn’t a slow car by any stretch of the imagination, but the new model will likely become the most practical supercar ever made. At least owners will have a full-time AWD system to help keep them out of trouble.
----
well.. the bright side is that audi needs a v-10 and twin turbo' to get 600hp while we do it with a v-8
