Presenting the All-New 2008 CTS. More than a car. It's a Cadillac.
The All-New 2008 CTS is here and it is not for the average driver. Cadillac's new luxury performance sedan is for those who reject convention. Broad-shouldered, it's a bold expression of genuine power, performance, luxury and non-conformity. It is a culmination of over 100 years of iconic design and engineering. From an available 304 hp 3.6L direct injection engine to the available All-Wheel Drive; from vertically stacked, jewel-like headlights to wrapped pillars and elegant analog centre stack timepiece, the All-New CTS defines what a luxury performance sedan should be.
More than praise
It's an ego boost. The All-New Cadillac CTS is the 2008 Motor Trend Car of the YearTM and one of Car and Driver's 10Best Cars of 2008. How fitting that such prestigious awards should go to a car that embodies prestige itself - the 2008 CTS was made for elite podiums and exclusive driveways everywhere.
More than power
It's the most powerful V6 to ever bear the Cadillac emblem. At the very heart of the new CTS, a choice of two engines: the 3.6L Variable Valve Timing engine outputs 263 hp and 253 lb.-ft. of torque; while the available 3.6L direct injection engine boasts an enormous 304 hp and staggering 273 lb.-ft. of torque. Both represent a significant gain in power, torque and fuel efficiency. Drive-by-wire electronic throttle control ensures a smoother throttle response at low speeds and rapid response at highway speeds.
More than performance
It's heavy mettle. Proven at Germany's notorious Nürburgring, the All-New CTS is a luxury vehicle that rightly merits performance as part of its description. With its precision-engineered, fully independent, multi-link suspension system, the CTS has been refined to the highest driving standards in the world. At the wheel, refinement is enhanced by the Aisin 6-speed manual transmission, known for its short throws and precision feel. CTS also offers motorists a taste of the Cadillac V-series with an available Hydra-Matic 6-speed automatic transmission, one of the most sophisticated transmissions in the world.
More than luxury
It's art and craftsmanship. With a front wheelbase of 1570 mm (61.8 inches), one of the widest tracks in the luxury entry class, the new CTS has a crouching, aggressively grounded stance. Dramatic flared fenders and tight panel gaps over the entire body, as well as the laser-brazed roof contribute to a sculpted, fine-tailored appearance. Chrome jewellery and LED tail light-piping give CTS added sparkle. Inside the cabin, every detail has been meticulously crafted. Supple leather seating surfaces that have been hand-cut, -sewn and -wrapped by master craftsmen, decorative French-stitch seams, standard chrome or available Sapele Pommele wood trim accents: together, they create a pampering yet polished experience.
More than innovation
It's an antidote to ordinary. This simply would not be a Cadillac without raising the benchmark of technological and driving innovation. Available iPod® functionality. An available personal 40 gigabyte hard drive media system. Available Bose® custom-designed 10-speaker 5.1 Cabin Surround Sound. Available UltraView sunroof that covers 70 percent of the roof area. Available ambient recessed LED interior lighting. Available Adaptive Forward Lighting. Just a few of your soon-to-be favourite things.
