2012 Cadillac CTS-V: A Steady Three-Body Year

This record's own dek states that the CTS-V continued in three bodies for 2012: 2,286 coupes, 2,012 sedans, and 575 wagons in the V-Series production list. This record's own overview states that the CTS-V remained a sedan, coupe, and Sport Wagon family, restates those production figures, and states that specifications, prices, and road tests specific to this model year were not located in the sources inspected, so none are shown beyond what the order guides and buyer's-guide database give.¹

This record's own production rows restate the 2,012 sedan, 2,286 coupe, and 575 wagon totals, and this record's own production notes state that Cadillac V-Net reports GM told it in 2013 that option-penetration data for V-Series cars was not obtainable, so no option, paint, or transmission split counts are shown for this year. This record's own prices section documents identical figures across all three bodies: an MSRP of $63,215 excluding destination and a dealer invoice of $59,106.^2,2

This record's own engines section documents the LSA 6.2-liter supercharged V8 at 556 hp at 6,100 rpm and 551 lb-ft at 3,800 rpm (414.6 kW, 734.9 N-m in the GM order guide, which does not state a rating standard), standard on all CTS-V bodies. This record's own transmissions section documents the MN6 six-speed manual as standard, already included in the base MSRP, and the MX0 six-speed automatic as a no-charge optional alternative, with no transmission split published in any source read.^3,4

This record's own options section documents W2E Recaro performance seats across coupe, sedan, and wagon, requiring AFF, AFH, or AFK trim and including KB6 heated and ventilated seats and JF5 sport alloy pedals, alongside the 53F sueded steering wheel and shift knob requiring W2E, the 3AS Wood Trim Package, CBF standard-sized coupe sunroof, and the C3U double-sized UltraView sunroof for sedan and wagon. None of these entries carries a price or an install count in the order guides this record's own options section cites.^3,4

This record's own options section further documents RUZ high-polished coupe wheels against the standard RUW premium multi-coat painted coupe wheel, RB9 Satin Graphite coupe wheels, Q6P high-polished sedan and wagon wheels against the standard RUX painted wheel, RBJ Satin Graphite sedan wheels, J6E yellow calipers, the new SFE wheel locks, and S08 Highway Safety Kit, VK3 license plate bracket, and K05 engine block heater, none of them carrying a listed price in the guides this record cites.^3,4

This record's own paint section documents eight colors, including two new for 2012, GHA Mocha Steel Metallic and GTR Opulent Blue Metallic, both unavailable with AFK trim on the coupe. This record's own interiors section documents AFF Ebony and AFH Light Titanium on coupe and sedan and AFK Ebony with Saffron inserts on the coupe only, noting that the sedan transcription lists only AFF and AFH while the wagon's color page reproduces the non-V CTS Sport Wagon page, leaving wagon trims unrecorded, and this record's own identification section documents model codes 6DN69, 6DN47, and 6DN35 for the sedan, coupe, and Sport Wagon, unchanged from the codes carried in that year's own production list.^3,1
