VIDEO: Cadillac CTS-V Challenge

After much fanfare, the Cadillac CTS-V Challenge was completed last week. The coverage in the automotive media has been so intense, proving that the event did its job for Cadillac, but also making people a bit worn out hearing about it.

Cadillac recently released this video as a summary of the event. The final results were overwhelmingly in favor of the CTS-V, albeit when driven by GM's professional drivers.

Mr. Lutz scored a great time but Michael Cooper, one of the private drivers invited, beat that score on the track. What the CTS-V Challenge did was generate a lot of buzz for Cadillac and prove that the car was capable of doing track time (and insanely quick times). As the other automakers proved, having a car with the ability to do that is a rarity.

The video below provides a lot of the information and small clips from the drivers about the event. The Jalopnik vs. GM "challenge" didn't quite turn out like they had originally planned, to say the least.
