2013 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe

This CTS-V coupe pairs Cadillac’s supercharged 6.2-liter LSA V8 with a six-speed manual, rear-wheel drive and a limited-slip differential. Thunder Gray ChromaFlair paint, Ebony leather and Recaro front seats give this example a distinctive specification. Magnetic Ride Control, Brembo brakes and 19-inch wheels were documented, together with an OBX Racing Sports cat-back exhaust identified in seller comments. Approximately 32,000 miles were shown in November 2025. The title offered at that auction carried REBUILT and TOTAL LOSS brands. The seller’s explanation linking the branding to a driving-school fleet release was not independently established. [1–2]

This 2013 Cadillac CTS-V coupe brings together the angular second-generation CTS body, Thunder Gray ChromaFlair paint and the involvement of a six-speed manual transmission. Its Ebony leather cabin features supportive Recaro front seats with heating and ventilation, while a Bose sound system, navigation and dual-zone climate control retain the comfort expected of a Cadillac. Approximately 32,000 miles were displayed at its November 2025 auction.

The supercharged 6.2-liter LSA V8 was factory rated at 556 horsepower and 551 lb-ft of torque. A Tremec TR-6060 six-speed manual sends power to the rear wheels through a limited-slip differential. The seller subsequently identified an OBX Racing Sports cat-back exhaust in auction comments. That equipment is an installed modification; the factory output figures describe the original engine specification and are not a measured result for this particular car.

Magnetic Ride Control and large Brembo brakes form the core of the chassis package. Nineteen-inch Y-spoke wheels were shown with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ tires in staggered 255/40 front and 285/35 rear sizes. A seller correction explained that the wheel finish was painted rather than polished. Adaptive high-intensity-discharge headlamps and the coupe’s broad rear stance complete a specification that combines substantial performance hardware with everyday amenities.

The vehicle’s branded-title history is a central part of its description. The November 2025 offering included a Nebraska title marked REBUILT and TOTAL LOSS, with salvage and rebuilt entries in the accompanying history report. The seller said the car had previously been part of a Cadillac V-Series driving fleet at Spring Mountain and attributed the branding to a fleet-release policy. Supporting release paperwork was not available in the reviewed record, so that explanation remains an attributed claim.

The seller reported acquiring the car in 2020, adding about 16,000 miles and replacing shocks and performing brake service during ownership. A replacement battery was also reported. Paint chips and scratches on the left front fender and mirror were disclosed. This is a documented manual-transmission CTS-V with compelling factory equipment, but its branded title, historical condition notes and unverified fleet explanation must remain prominent in any future offer. Present condition and title documents require a fresh check.

BaT lot 220508 recorded a $32,000 result on November 20, 2025. The supplied auction information identified a branded Nebraska title and Carfax salvage entries beginning in February 2016, followed by a September 2020 rebuilt entry. The reviewed records do not independently establish why the car was branded or its current ownership. A seller’s claim that the brand resulted from a fleet-release policy cannot be substituted for insurer, title or repair documentation. [1]
