If real sport-sedan performance is your desire, youve definitely come to the right

place. CTS offers a choice of two high-tech V6 engines engineered and tuned to

put a smile on an enthusiasts face.

Raise the hood on a CTS 2.8 and youll discover a double overhead cam (DOHC)

V6 that puts 210 horsepower and 194 pounds-feet of torque at your disposal.

Thanks to an array of advanced features, including variable valve timing (VVT),

variable intake manifold and electronic throttle control, this engine delivers an

outstanding blend of power, refinement and fuel economy.

Drivers who demand a higher level of performance will gravitate towards the CTS3.6 and its larger, more muscular V6. The 3.6-litre engine shares all the high-tech

features of its 2.8-litre stablemate and produces an impressive 255 horsepower

and 252 pounds-feet of torque. A full 90 percent of the 3.6-litre V6s peak torque

is available from a low 2000 rpm to well beyond 5000 rpm, which translates into

immediate acceleration whenever you call for it.

Paired with both these quality engines as standard equipment is the smooth-

shifting six-speed manual transmission that delivers optimal performance and

control. Or, if you prefer, an electronically controlled five-speed automatic unit

is also available. This highly efficient, precision-engineered transmission is

equipped with Driver Shift Control, which allows you to shift up or down a gear at

will with a touch of the gearshift lever. For many drivers, its an irresistible blend

of manual control and automatic convenience.

The variable valve timing incorporated

into both CTS V6 engines contributes

to their performance, fuel efficiency

and smoothness.

The available 5-speed automatic

transmission includes Driver Shift

Control which allows tap-up, tap-

down shifting.

A standard 6-speed Aisin manual

transmission helps drivers to extract

maximum performance and efficiency

from either V6.

TRACK-TUNED AGILITY

AND BALANCE.

Sometimes, even in this age of computer-assisted design and engineering

processes, theres just no substitute for real-world experience.

Thats why the CTS development team travelled to Germany to put a fleet of

prototypes through repeated high-speed test laps at one of the worlds toughest

racetracks the north loop of the legendary Nrburgring. They challenged each

of the Rings 178 corners, made adjustments, then went back on the course to

put the new settings to the test. The result? Handling so agile and balanced,

youd almost think your CTS was riding on rails.

Of course, it didnt hurt that the suspension engineers had a world-class package

of components to work with, beginning with GMs global luxury architecture. This

advanced rear-wheel-drive platform is extraordinarily strong and rigid, and

provides an excellent foundation. It also allows a near-50/50 front-to-rear weight

distribution, for excellent balance.

Then theres the CTSs fully independent suspension, with double short/long arms

(SLA) at the front and a sophisticated multi-adjustable five-link design at the

rear. Wheel travel is unusually long at all four wheels, which contributes to a ride

thats always controlled but never harsh.

For drivers who insist on even more control, CTS offers an available Sport

Package, featuring a specially tuned suspension, speed-sensitive steering,

performance brake linings, Cadillacs StabiliTrak stability enhancement system

and more. Theres also an available Performance Package with 18-inch polished

aluminum wheels, W-rated performance tires, a revised braking system with larger-

diameter rotors, a limited-slip differential and a host of other premium hardware.

Its a must-have option for those who demand the ultimate in handling precision.

A key factor in CTSs agile

handling is the cars near 50/50

front-to-rear weight distribution.

A 4-channel StabiliTrak system is included with the Sport Package and

Performance Package. It uses a complex network of sensors to monitor

whether your CTS is travelling in your intended direction. Any time it finds

that a lateral skid is underway, the system automatically takes action,

modulating the braking pressure at any of the 4 wheels, as appropriate, to

help the driver recover control. StabiliTrak operates so quickly and

unobtrusively, drivers often dont realize the system has intervened.

Confident, controlled stopping is part

of the CTS driving experience, thanks

to a 4-wheel vented disc braking

system equipped with such high-tech

features as Panic Brake Assist and

Dynamic Rear Proportioning.

In the picture above, you see the CTS body stripped bare, without the

benefit of bumpers, trim, or paint. Shown this way, you may not think

its very attractive. But if youre ever in a collision, it could be the

most beautiful thing in your world.

At the front and the rear of the CTS body, there are substructures

that have been specially designed to collapse in a controlled fashionin a crash. As they do, they absorb impact energy and cushion the

passenger compartment. In effect, they sacrifice themselves to help

keep you and your passengers from potential harm.

Surrounding the passenger compartment, theres another structure

which protects you in a very different way. Its a solid steel safety

cage specifically designed to resist deformation in a collision. Its

supplemented by carbon-ruled steel side-impact beams, concealed

inside every door, which help shield occupants in an impact at the

side of the car.

Of course, CTS protection includes much more than just the body

structure. Every CTS is equipped with a total of six air bags. There

are lap/shoulder belts for every occupant, and the front belts are

equipped with pyrotechnic pre-tensioners that pull the belts snug

the instant a collision is detected, for improved protection. Even the

lining of the roof helps prevent injuries, by absorbing crash energy

in a controlled manner.

The bottom line is this: there are literally dozens of sophisticated

crash protection features engineered into every CTS. You may

never need any of them. But isnt it reassuring to know theyre

there if you do?

CTSs computer-designed architecture is among the

most advanced on the market today. Its engineered to be

dimensionally precise, lightweight and extremely strong.

FACING PAGE: Dual-stage frontal air bags help protect the CTS driver

and front-seat passenger in the event of certain frontal impacts.

In low-speed crashes these frontal air bags deploy with reduced force

for improved safety. Se at-mounted front side-impact air bags and

front-to-rear head curtain air bags offer supplementary protection in

collisions at the side of the car.

CTS-V s thrilling performance is no accident. Rather, its the result of careful engineering using

some of the worlds finest automotive componentry. Every major system on the car has been

substantially upgraded to deliver the ultimate CTS driving experience.

Rowed through six gears with a manual Tremec transmission, the CTS- V can race from

0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds, leaving many fancy German competitors in its Motown dust.*

Originally developed for use in the sixth-generation Corvette, the LS2 engine is a low-

maintenance engine that features long-life engine coolant and platinum-tipped spark plugs

designed to only require changing every 166,000 km in normal use.**

**Maintenance needs varywith use anddrivingconditions. Please referto the Owners Manual formore information.

Thanks to a number of significant upgrades, the CTS- Vs

interior is just as single-minded about performance as its

astounding drivetrain and chassis.

The leather-appointed front bucket seating surfaces are

exclusive to CTS-V. Theyre deeply contoured and feature

sueded fabric inserts on the seat cushion and lower seat-

back, all to help hold you firmly in place as you explore the

cars awesome handling capabilities.

The steering wheel is unique, too. In addition to switches for

the cruise control and traction control systems, the wheel

includes controls for accessing the dual-display Driver

Information Centre. Read-outs include information on the tire

pressures at all four wheels, along with the temperatures

of the engine oil, transmission oil and engine coolant. The

Driver Information Centre can also display the lateral

acceleration your CTS-Vachieved during your last corner.

Then there are CTS-Vs satin chrome-trimmed analogue

instruments, which have been designed specifically to

convey key information in an instant. In a car as dead-quick

as this, thats an important consideration, because when

youre pushing the performance envelope, a glance is often

all you have time for.

If youre lucky enough to sit in the throne of the V-Series, the

experience will be marked by one massive grin, from the

moment you turn the key to the point where you walk away

and take one last look over your shoulder at the edgy sheet

metal and mean 18-inch wheels.*

The shifter for the Tremec

manual 6-speed transmission

features a CTS-V-exclusive

satin chrome finish.

Unique instrumentation and a multi-

function steering wheel help keep you

firmly in control of CTS-Vs amazing

capabilities. A DVD navigation system

is standard equipment.

Steering wheel-mounted

switches allow you to

navigate easily through the

Driver Information Centres

various displays to find the

data you need.

Satin chrome is used to

outline CTS-Vs analogue

gauges. The standard Driver

Information Centre displays a

host of useful information,

including cornering g-forces.
