"... Announced are: 560 hp at 6,000 rpm - the old V10, it was 507 hp at 7750 rpm. The maximum torque increases from 520 to 680 Newton meters. For this purpose it is already almost over idle: relaxing 1,500 times must turn the crankshaft to provide the maximum torque to the transmission.

better be able to do more than that with a tune D, the 550 gains 95hp and 100 lb/ft. This beast better be cranking out 700+ with a tune

Yes Rudy, but these look a LOT like the CTS-V side grilles rather than the E60 M5 side grilles. Even the E9x M3 has way better looking ones because they don't have the ridiculous trim ring.

Gotcha. Too lazy to look at a CTS-V right now but I'll take your word for it. Maybe they just wanted to give the Cadillac buyers something to feel good about?
