Dubai, United Arab Emirates - The all-new 2009 Cadillac CTS-V took a break from the beating records on the track, and went online launching its new website www.ctsvarabia.com. Upon registration, customers will be provided with more information on the CTS-V, and will have the chance to be among the first to book this performance luxury sedan in the Middle East. 

With the power to accelerate from 0-100 kph in 3.9 seconds, CTS-V is the most capable Cadillac to date, and one of the world's fastest sedans. Combining the performance of a sports car with the poise of a luxury sedan, the it also includes some elegant and purposeful accents, both inside and out.

The 2009 CTS-V takes the award-winning CTS sport sedan and elevates it to a position within the club of the world's most exclusive and capable cars, with its new supercharged 6.2L V-8 engine set to deliver 556 hp at 6100 rpm and 747 Nm at 3800 rpm of torque.  With this, it presents the best of both worlds - supercharged power and superior refinement.

"We are really excited about getting the CTS-V to customers in the Middle East, and this website is one of the tools we are using to reach out to enthusiasts who have been relying on global websites to gather bits and pieces about their object of desire." says Adib Takieddine, Marketing Manager for Cadillac in the Middle East.
