For the 2011 model year, GM expanded the appeal of the second generation CTS-V with a neat sport wagon and a very distinctive coupe.<\/p>\n<p>For 2014, Cadillac is reworking the CTS lineup yet again, so this year will be the last of the first generation CTS Coupes. Luckily, we were able to really put a 2013 CTS-V Coupe through its paces as we took it on a long road trip to the famed <a title=\"Masters\" href=\"http:\/\/masters.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Masters golf<\/a> tournament in Augusta, Georgia.Such a drive allowed us to both put on the cruise control and to give all 556 horses a real workout, so we were able to get a good sense for what this Cadillac is all about. Now, for many the CTS-V Coupe has been an appealing car ever since it came out, and a 500+ horsepower Caddy with a six-speed manual will definitely garner some interest, but can this older design live up to the high expectations of 2013?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n        .memberful-global-teaser-content p:last-child{\n            -webkit-mask-image: linear-gradient(180deg, #000 0%, transparent);\n            mask-image: linear-gradient(180deg, #000 0%, transparent);\n        }\n    <\/style>\n<div class='memberful-global-marketing-content'>\n<div class=\"a07online-global-marketing-content-wrapper\">\n<h2 class=\"a07online-global-marketing-title\">No Subscription?
