Cadillac CTS-V RC Car Tops Out at Over 70 MPH

And yes, it can do sideways fun too.

The supercharged 6.2-liter V8 produces 640 horsepower (477kW) and 630 pound feet (854 Newton-meters). However, those numbers are not from a wedge-shaped midengined car. The Cadillac CTSV is a four-door sedan powered by the same V8 as the Corvette C7Z06.

The CTS-V, despite its poor interior design, is a machine that you would love based solely on its performance. Its production was discontinued last year and it has been replaced by the CT5-V . Yes, it’s a 5, not an S. There is still hope if you are among the many who want a brand new CTS-V. You will need to focus your attention on Traxxas, the RC toymaker.

The Traxxas generates a lot of power, just like the supercharged sedan on which this RC is based. The new 4-Tec 2.0 AWD chassis features both brushed versions and brushless versions. This allows the RC speed to exceed 70 miles an hour.

The Traxxas can be ordered in either blue or silver finishes. This is similar to the CTS-V. It can also drift, which you can see on the video at the top of this page.

If you aren’t sold with the Traxxas CT-V RC, you may be able to purchase one for $75. However, that price is for the body only. You can purchase the 4-Tec 2.0 AWD chassis separately. The brushed version costs $225.99. $150 will get you the brushless version that can travel 70+ miles per hour.
