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.*

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.
