How do we say goodbye to one of the most epic long-term cars ever to land in our garage??? In the latest episode of Epic Drives, senior features editor Jonny Lieberman was tasked to orchestrate a proper farewell for the 2011 Cadillac CTS-V wagon, which much of theMotor Trendstaff has enjoyed driving for the past year.

What Lieberman came up with was a no brainer. Why not send the Caddy wagon to the Nurburgring? The famed track essentially served as the CTS-V's boot camp years ago, playing a significant part in the development of the Caddy's suspension tuning, among other things. For fans of the CTS-V (or the 'Ring), the video won't disappoint. Not only does Lieberman take a spin around the track, but he also hands over the keys to General Motors' racecar driver Johnny O'Connell, who attempts to beat the lap time posted by a CTS-V sedan years ago.
Does he succeed? Watch the video to find out and read our feature on the trip right here.
