Cadillac and Monticello Motor Club (MMC) are now offering a Cadillac High Performance Driving Experience.

From Cadillac’s Facebook page:

Cadillac is proudly partnering with Monticello Motor Club (MMC) to exclusively feature the Cadillac CTS–V Coupe and Sedan in MMC’s High Performance Driving Experience. Now is your opportunity to work with professional instructors and get behind the wheel of a 556-hp Cadillac CTS-V and see how quickly you can make it around Monticello’s private country club with 4.1 miles of racetrack, 22 challenging turns and 450 feet in elevation changes. Only 3 days remain in 2010, so sign up today!

MMC is located in Monticello, NY.  Driving days for 2010 are scheduled for Sept 20, 30, and Oct 12.

Cadillac Driving Experience at MMC

I love the write-up on the Cadillac CTS-V Coupe used in the training:

More horsepower than the Mercedes E63 AMG. Fastest lap time in its class at the Nürburgring. Faster slalom speed than a Lamborghini Murcielago LP670.

This is no ordinary sedan you’re driving. It’s a Cadillac CTS-V— featuring a fire-breathing, 556-hp supercharged V-8 power plant. 0-60 comes up in only 3.9 seconds while six-piston Brembo brakes deliver the stopping ability of the world’s best sports cars. Handling? How’s 70.1 mph through the slalom!

Road and Track called it “monstrously quick, rewarding, and with very high limits.” And we have 20 of them—which means you’re spending your entire day behind the wheel of what Top Gear’s James May called “The best American car I’ve ever driven.”

The event is an all-day opportunity to drive one of the most exciting sports sedans in the world at full-tilt on one of the longest tracks in the US.  At 3.5 Miles in length with 1.5 miles of straights, MMC can be considered a high speed track.

Best of all, if you currently drive a Cadillac CTS-V, you get a 10% discount on the day!

Cadillac put up a few shots of the new Cadillac CTS-V Coupe in motion at the recent media event at Monticello Motor Club:

The CTS-V Coupe looks better in person than one can judge from photos, but the Photographer did a great job on these shots.

Cadillac is having debut parties for the Cadillac CTS Coupe at Dealers this week. The Cadillac CTS Coupe is much more striking in person than in pictures; you have to see it in person to appreciate the proportions.

This is a highly styled car that makes a distinctive, visceral statement.  Once you see one in person you know that Cadillac is making visual art again.

Release:

DETROIT – Cadillac dealers across the United States are  unveiling the all-new 2011 CTS Coupe in their local markets starting today as they host special events for CTS Coupe Premiere Week.  One of the most anticipated new models of the year, the CTS Coupe recently began arriving at dealerships.

The CTS Coupe is expected to attract a new generation of luxury sports car enthusiasts to Cadillac and go head-to-head with the BMW 335i Coupe, Mercedes-Benz E350 Coupe and Audi A5. “Cadillac is once again ready to compete with the world’s best,” Autoblog wrote in its review of the CTS Coupe.

Almost 300 Cadillac dealers will host events showcasing the new model as part of CTS Coupe Premiere Week. Customers should contact their local Cadillac dealer for more information about the CTS Coupe and details on the event in their area.

The CTS Coupe has been cited by the automotive press for its groundbreaking design and outstanding performance. “It’s safe to say the coupe is positively gorgeous,” Automobile magazine wrote in a review. “Pictures simply don’t do it justice, which is saying quite a bit.”

“The CTS Coupe is one of the most significant automobiles to enter the market this year,” said Kurt McNeil, vice president of Cadillac sales and service. “It represents the new focal point for Cadillac in terms of design and performance. Cadillac and its dealers want to make sure customers are given a chance to get an up-close look at this stunning new vehicle.”

The CTS Coupe extends the CTS line, which has been named to Car and Driver’s 10 Best list for three straight years. It shares design cues with the CTS Sport Sedan, but the CTS Coupe has a wider track, lower roofline and shorter length, giving it an aggressive stance and sleek, athletic profile.

The CTS Coupe starts  at $38,990 and comes standard with a 3.6L Direct Injection V6 engine that produces 304 horsepower, six-speed auto tap up/down shifting, rear-park assist and Bose audio.  A high-performance CTS-V Coupe model also is available with a 6.2L Supercharged V8 that produces 556 horsepower, dual-mode magnetic ride control suspension and Brembo brakes.
