2009 Cadillac STS-V Base

The 2006 V-series STS-V was introduced at the 2005 Detroit Auto Show. It features a supercharged 4.4 L version of the Northstar V8, along with handling upgrades. This engine is certified by the SAE to produce 469 hp (350 kW) and 439 ft·lbf (595 N·m).

It went on sale in the United States in late 2005 for just under US$80,000.

In 2006, Cadillac introduced a stretched STS called the SLS. Only available in the Chinese market, and assembled by Shanghai GM, the SLS adds 3.9 inches (99.1 mm) of rear-seat legroom and has a different interior.
