Cadillac creates a brand-within-the-brand for big-engine muscle cars sporting the v-badge -- that 'v' tacked to a model's alphabetical nameplate, perhaps to denote 'velocity.' Sleek and stylish in bold design featuring angular forms and crisp edgework, the STS mid-size touring sedan scores a v-badge treatment.

V badging on this product includes supercharged performance from a 4.4-liter NorthStar 4.4-liter V8 pumping 469 hp. It mates with the new GM Hydra-Matic 6L80 six-speed automatic shifter.

Body enhancements range from a larger front grille in stainless wire mesh to the lower fascia with a larger grille and ducts to help cool some big brakes.
