Get Ready, A Manual V8 Wagon Is Available For Purchase | Carscoops

      Enhancing the appeal of this Cadillac CTS-V with a supercharged V8 is its modest mileage of just 44,000 miles.

      The 6.2L supercharged V8 engine in the CTS-V Wagon produces 556 hp and 551 lb-ft of torque.

      A six-speed manual transmission paired with rear-wheel drive ensures an exhilarating driving experience.

      In a time where SUVs and crossovers dominate, fast wagons have become quite rare. The market has evolved, and while some European brands still manage to release a few, they are as scarce on American roads as spotting a unicorn. However, if you search the classifieds, you can find some speedy estates, with few being more remarkable than the CTS-V Wagon from a decade ago.

      Cadillac offered sedan, coupe, and wagon versions of the CTS-V, and in our opinion, the wagon stands out as the best version. Its bold and muscular design remains impressive today, while delivering ample luxury and exceptional performance. If you're searching for an alternative to fast SUVs, this is it.

      The CTS-V Wagon featured here is currently up for auction on Bring a Trailer and has been owned by the current proprietor since 2015. It holds a clean title from California and has just 44,000 miles (~70,800 km) driven.

      Under the hood of this American estate is a 6.2-liter supercharged LSA V8 engine that generates 556 hp and 551 lb-ft (747 Nm) of torque. Making it even more appealing is the fact that this powertrain is paired with a Tremec six-speed manual transmission directed to the rear wheels, a combination not found in any current estates from Audi, Mercedes-Benz, or BMW.

      The exterior of this wagon boasts a sleek Black Raven paint finish, complemented by 19-inch alloy wheels with a Satin Graphite finish. Red Brembo brake calipers peek through the wheels, adding a touch of aggressiveness to its overall look.

      Inside, while it may seem a bit outdated by today's standards, all the essentials are intact: dual-zone climate control, Recaro seats that keep you secure without being uncomfortable, cruise control, and a Bose audio system.
