Overall Performance
The Cadillac CTS-V has a stock top speed of 260 km/h (162 mph) which is slightly above average for Class C. It has an average acceleration but is very lacking when compared to other cars that are stronger class competitors. Its nitrous output is also around average. The handling of the CTS-V is also very poor due to its weight as it reduces its ability to avoid traffic at high speed and sufficiently brake for tight corners.

Appearances
The 2nd generation of the Cadillac CTS-V hasn't appeared in any other Need For Speed title.
