In a recent video, Jay Leno and GM performance expert Tony Roma discuss the idea of acquiring a high-performance car on a budget, focusing specifically on Cadillacs. Leno, known for his impressive collection of classic and collectible automobiles, shifts his attention from his most expensive models to his more practical options: a pair of Cadillac CTS-Vs. These include a 2012 CTS-V Coupe and a 2007 CTS-V sedan, both of which stand out for their performance and accessibility in the used car market.

Both models are rear-wheel drive and come equipped with 6-speed manual transmissions, making them appealing choices for drivers seeking a budget-friendly yet exciting ride. The 2012 CTS-V Coupe boasts a supercharged 6.2-liter LT4 V8 engine, achieving 0 to 60 mph in just 4 seconds and completing a quarter-mile in 12.3 seconds at 117 mph. With 556 horsepower and 551 lb.-ft. of torque, these Cadillacs demonstrate impressive power, offering a solid foundation for both performance enhancements and everyday driving.

Leno’s discussion highlights the potential of these luxurious yet capable vehicles, encouraging car enthusiasts to consider them as practical options for performance on a budget. The overall message resonates: high-performance cars don’t always have to come with exorbitant price tags.
