New Cadillac CTS Ready To Compete With The Finest Ride-Tuned Vehicles In The World Cadillac

Building on the success of the first generation CTS sport sedan, Cadillac’s development team set even higher targets for every aspect of the driving dynamics of the all-new 2008 version. The goal was to reach handling limits near sports-car levels, while also adopting the poise and smoothness of prestigious luxury sedans.

With a 50-mm wider track and input from Cadillac’s acclaimed V-Series models, Cadillac sent the new CTS back to the famed Nürburgring track. The engineering team also exhaustively road- tested the car on city streets and country roads across China, North Americaand Europe. The result is improved chassis hardware and a more finely tuned car.

Engineers designed and developed new geometry for both the independent short/long arm front suspension and the multilink rear suspension, driven primarily by the wider track and the application of all-wheel drive. The front track is now 1,569 mm, and rear track is 1,575 mm. The wheelbase remains at 2,880 mm. Three suspension levels are offered: FE1, FE2 and the performance-oriented FE3 (rear-drive only); each is tuned for specific ride and handling characteristics, and availability varies by market.
