Rumors say it will have a 7.0 liter V8 good for 500HP.

Its been known for almsot a year now that the new CTS-V would use the LS7.

Just like the previous one used the LS6 from the old Z06 and then replaced by the LS2 later.

Its not all about specific output...but rather power delivery.

Yes you can make 500hp out of a 5 or 6 liter engine but it will not have as vast as torque curve.
