Beautiful car....Congratulations! Car & Driver has a test of the 2018 model. https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a16867888/2018-cadillac-xts-v-sport-test-review/
They are pretty quick in stock form but should respond nicely to a tune.
C/D TEST RESULTS:
Zero to 60 mph: 5.2 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 12.5 sec
Zero to 130 mph: 23.2 sec
Rolling start, 5-60 mph: 5.5 sec
Top gear, 30-50 mph: 2.8 sec
Top gear, 50-70 mph: 3.7 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 13.6 sec @ 105 mph
I've seen 0 to 60 times listed that range from 5.0 seconds to 5.2 as well. The thing I'm most impressed with is the handling over the Lincoln and specifically, the factory (front) BREMBOS. Comparatively, the handling and braking is amazing....I wouldn't say amazing generally for sports oriented cars, but comparatively amazing for another apples to apples all-wheel-drive V6 twin turbo whale.
I specifically wanted a Platinum 2017. Platinum gives you some stuff you can't get on any other model. For instance, it comes standard with a pseudo suede headliner, a leather wrapped dashboard, a different kind of leather that honestly you can seriously tell the difference on compared to lesser models, and other niceties. There were also some very minor changes in 2017 that were kind of a big deal to me, like the configurable dash has a V-Sport theme available in 2017. You can see it in one of the photos.
So I was specifically looking for a 2017 Platinum V Sport with the light interior, exterior had to be either silver or white - with 15,000 miles or less certified/certifiable. Last time I checked, there were only three 17 Platinum V-Sports for sale in the nation, and all three were black - seems like since I started my search, I'm going to estimate that 80+% of these cars are black from 2013 to present, which is a deal breaker for me. They look good, but I value my sanity more.
