| 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. |
 |
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. |

| 2008 CTS Model Overview |
| The All-New 2008 Cadillac CTS redefines the very nature of power, performance and luxury. Under the hood, two fire-breathing models to choose from: a 3.6L V6 with Variable Valve Timing (VVT) and a 3.6L Direct Injection V6 engine, also with VVT. Both engines are wrapped in the same distinctive 2008 CTS form and innovative functionality. Choose a model to learn more. |

| CTS VVT |
 |
Capable of generating a hearty 263 hp and 253 lb.-ft. of torque, the 3.6L V6 engine with Variable Valve Timing (VVT) is standard equipment on the All-New CTS. So is the 6-speed Aisin manual transmission and the StabiliTrak™ electronic stability control system. |
|
|
| CTS DI |
 |
The second engine choice is a monster, an all-out spitfire capable of generating an incredible 304 hp and 273 lb.-ft. of torque. The CTS with a 3.6L V6 Direct Injection (DI) engine, also features Variable Valve Timing and produces the most V6 power to ever bear the Cadillac name. And it does so fuel-efficiently and cost-effectively. The DI engine features up to a 25 percent reduction in cold-start hydro-carbon smog-forming emissions. CTS loaded with the 3.6L DI engine also features a Dual Stainless Steel exhaust and is designed to run on regular unleaded fuel. |
