United States · researched through 2026-09-23
This record's own dek states that the CTS-V continued in three bodies for 2013: 1,519 coupes, 1,133 sedans, and 416 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 GM Media text transcribed by Cadillac V-Net adds two-piece front brake rotors, available red Brembo calipers, and a new Glacier Blue Metallic color for 2013, while prices and road tests specific to this model year were not located.1
This record's own production notes restate 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, and that the three body rows are separately scoped rather than added together. 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, drawn from three separate buyer's-guide style ids for coupe, sedan, and wagon.2,2
This record's own engines section documents the 6.2-liter supercharged V8, with an Eaton TVS four-lobe supercharger, at 556 hp and 551 lb-ft (415 kW, 747 Nm in the GM Media page, which gives neither rpm nor a rating standard), standard on all CTS-V bodies. This record's own transmissions section documents the Tremec TR6060 six-speed manual with a dual-disc clutch and the Hydra-Matic 6L90 six-speed automatic with steering-wheel shift controls, both listed as available across coupe, sedan, and wagon with no transmission split published in any source read.3,3
This record's own options section documents red-painted Brembo brake calipers as new for 2013 on sedan and wagon, 19-inch high-polished aluminum wheels, 19-inch Satin Graphite wheels packaged with yellow calipers on the coupe, Recaro 14-way performance seats with pneumatic bolsters and heating and cooling, a microfiber-trimmed steering wheel and shift knob packaged with the Recaro seats, and a power sunroof, none of these carrying an RPO code, price, or install count in the GM Media text this record cites.3,3
This record's own paint section documents eight colors, including the new Glacier Blue Metallic, all given as names only without codes and the same eight listed for sedan, coupe, and wagon, with no per-color production figures published in any source read. This record's own interiors section documents two trims with microfiber sueded inserts, Ebony with Ebony inserts and Light Titanium with Light Titanium inserts, noting that the coupe page's trim line also names Ebony/Ebony, Light Titanium/Ebony, and Cashmere/Cocoa combinations that belong to the non-V CTS Coupe order guides rather than the CTS-V, so only the two microfiber-insert trims are recorded here.3,3
This record's own specifications section documents two-piece front brake rotors as new for 2013, replacing co-cast rotors, and documents the CTS-V Wagon's cargo volume at 25.4 cubic feet behind the rear seat and 58 cubic feet with the rear seat folded. This record's own identification section documents model codes 6DN69, 6DN47, and 6DN35 for the sedan, coupe, and Sport Wagon, the same three codes the production rows cite for their own sources.3,1

The numbers
2013 Cadillac CTS-V: sedan, coupe and wagon — The CTS-V continued in three bodies: 1,519 coupes, 1,133 sedans and 416 wagons in the V-Series production list.
Coverage: Partial — researched sections are shown; missing ones are not yet sourced. Researched through 2026-09-23.
Every figure is labeled with how sure we are. Reported means a manufacturer, registry, or reference figure we cite but have not reconciled against factory records ourselves. Disputed means credible sources disagree and both are shown. Rows are separately scoped; don't add them together unless the note says they make up a total.
Production
| What was counted | Count | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| CTS-V sedan1 CTS-V · 4-door sedan · LSA · not stated by source | 1,133 | built, model-year | Reported |
| CTS-V Coupe1 CTS-V · 2-door coupe · LSA · not stated by source | 1,519 | built, model-year | Reported |
| CTS-V Sport Wagon1 CTS-V · 4-door wagon · LSA · not stated by source | 416 | built, model-year | Reported |
Cadillac V-Net states the list was obtained from Cadillac; market scope (US only or all markets) is not stated. Rows for different models are separately scoped. No whole-year V-Series total is shown here: the V-Net page gives no combined annual figure, and a total would have to be summed across separately scoped rows, which this record does not do. Searched 2026-09-29: the V-Net production page, its site-news post on the update and its forum threads; none states a US-only or all-markets scope. A GM or Cadillac statement of scope, or a published per-year V-Series total, would close it.
Cadillac V-Net reports that GM told it in 2013 that option-penetration data for V-Series cars was not obtainable, so no option, paint or transmission counts are shown.
