The new all-new 2008 CTS has striking design that reflects a combination of luxury and sport. Sculpted fenders emphasize the car's wide track and enhanced chassis dynamics.
The front fenders feature side air extractors that recall a styling element from Cadillac's Sixteen concept that also appear on the STS and Escalade. This CTS has a 'faster' and coupe-like profile, owing to both its increased performance potential and more evolved styling theme. The optional Ultra View sunroof covers more than 70 percent of the roof, giving both front- and rear-seat passengers a sky view.
More power while maintaining fuel economy and lowering emissions is a daunting engineering challenge, and the new CTS delivers via direct-injection technology. The top-level power option of the CTS is GM's new, 3.6L direct-injection V-6 VVT engine, which delivers 311 hp (229 kW) and 374 Nm of torque at 5200 rpm.
