We’ve conjectured recently, given the surprise increase in the rated horsepower of the Chevrolet ZR-1, that the CTS-V might see more thatn 550hp in its fully certified form.

We are not disappointed.

Today, Cadillac has announced official power ratings of 556hp and 551 lb*ft of torque. The result is the fastest V-8 sedan on the market with a 0-60 time of 3.9 seconds, a quarter mile time of 12 seconds flat at 118 mph.

UPDATED: Galleries of the new XLR and XLR-V now posted in our image galleries.

We knew (and largely had already seen) the facelift to the XLR roadster.

Now, Cadillac has put out at least one teaser image showing the CTS-inspired front end, fender vents, and fancy new wheels.

Details we didn’t have before include that the XLR will keep its current Northstar engines. Interior changes seem to be limited to trim and materials changes.

Technology improvements include the new Bluetooth system that we should see on most Cadillacs for 2009.

More pics and details as they become available.
