AND SUDDENLY – EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT
CTS
Once in a long while, a car comes along that overturns the accepted order and changes the
game forever. The all-new 2008 Cadillac CTS is just such a car. CTS puts the industry on
notice that it’s no longer acceptable for a car simply to offer a stylish body, or spirited
performance, or a luxurious, technology-rich cabin. To be truly world-class a car now has
to do it all, and do it at a very high level – just like the new CTS does. CTS. Change is good.

As functional as they are stylish, CTS’s fast-illuminating
LED tail lights alert following drivers almost instantaneously
whenever you apply your brakes.
The sculpted, chrome-framed vents on CTS’s front fenders
extract hot air from the engine compartment.

EXTERIOR
The 2008 CTS blends complex geometric elements with subtle organic curves. The result is a riveting new look that also
honours Cadillac’s avant-garde design tradition. Complementing the dramatic overall shape are a host of brilliantly
executed details, like the functional air extractors on the front fenders and the distinctive LED tail lights. A wide track and
flared fenders speak of the new CTS’s increased performance capabilities, while the body’s tight panel gaps and invisible
roof joints – the product of advanced laser brazing technology – are visible demonstrations of CTS’s world-class quality.

How do you improve on a sunroof? Cadillac’s designers pondered. Their answer: make it larger – nearly 70 percent of the area of the
roof – so it brightens the cabin for both front and rear passengers. The available UltraView sunroof they designed is one of
the largest offered in any sedan. It also features a power-retracting interior sunshade for those occasions when a softer light is desirable.

The extraordinary CTS driving experience begins before you even enter the car, as the available Keyless Access System
unlocks the doors without requiring you to remove the fob from your pocket or purse. The system also includes a convenient
adaptive remote start function that allows you to start the engine and climate control system from up to 60 metres
away. Once inside, you’re surrounded by premium materials, handsome, powerful shapes and an unwavering sense
of purpose. You’ll find it’s an environment that enhances your confidence, control and enjoyment in every driving situation.

21ST CENTURY TECHNOLOGY MEETS HAND-CRAFTED QUALITY
PREMIUM
The new CTS cabin brings together the best of two worlds. Among its traditional elements are supple leather seating surfaces and door, console and instrument
panel trim that’s cut, wrapped and hand-sewn by master craftsmen. Then there are the interior’s many standard leading-edge amenities, including memory
functions for the driver’s seat and exterior mirrors, along with ten-way power adjustable front bucket seats which employ an advanced design
that simultaneously maximizes occupant comfort and interior space. For an even higher level of comfort, heated and cooled bucket seats are also available.

CTS’s steering wheel, transmission shifter, instrument
panel, centre console and doors can be trimmed with the

TURN ON – TUNE IN – GO
INFOTAINMENT
The available DVD navigation system features a
high-resolution VGA touch screen that recedes
into the instrument panel when not in use.
No matter what your preference in audio entertainment, you’ll find plenty to choose
from with CTS’s standard XM Satellite Radio.* It offers the largest playlist and the
most commercial-free music on the planet – broadcast coast to coast.* Genres
range from decades to dance, rock to rap, and country to classical – all with
digital-quality sound. There’s also news, talk, comedy and sports channels –
including more than 1000 NHL games. No wonder more than seven million people
subscribe to XM Satellite Radio. Ask your dealer for more information.
Information is power. Entertainment is joy. The new CTS delivers both, with some of the most up-to-the-minute electronics technology available. XM Satellite
RadioTM,* with its digital-quality sound and commercial-free music programming and an eight-speaker Bose® sound system. Options include a superb Bose 5.1
Cabin Surround® sound system and an advanced DVD navigation system complete with a telescoping touch screen.** Both optional audio systems include a
40 gigabyte hard drive device that enables a host of functions, including pausing and rewinding live radio and importing songs from CDs. Both are also
designed for full iPod® integration and you can even use the steering wheel-mounted switches to advance music tracks.
*Includes three trial months beyond which service fees apply. Available in 10 Canadian provinces and 48 contiguous United States.
**At time of printing, detailed map coverage is available for most major urban areas of the United States and for certain metropolitan areas of Canada (Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Windsor,
London, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City and Halifax). Coverage is significantly limited outside these areas.

The CTS audio system was created in consultation with a host of industry experts, including
the engineers behind the iPod.

AMENITIES
The welcoming atmosphere of the CTS cabin is the direct result of extraordinary attention to detail. Case
in point: the ambient lighting system included with the available Sight and Sound Package. It
includes clean, white LED spot lights and fibre-optic light pipes strategically positioned throughout the
interior. The result is soft backlighting of areas like the footwells, door pulls and instrument panel, for
a premium look reminiscent of the recessed indirect lighting found in modern luxury homes.

POWER THAT NEVER TAKES A BACK SEAT
PERFORMANCE
With a highly refined DOHC V6 engine generating 263 horsepower, the 2008 CTS puts more standard power at your disposal than the
BMW 3-Series and 5-Series, the Mercedes C-Class and E-Class and the Audi A4 and A6.* Yet for CTS, that’s just the beginning.
There’s also an available 304 horsepower V6 that features Cadillac’s first-ever use of direct fuel injection, a leading-edge technology
that enhances power, fuel efficiency and emissions performance simultaneously. Both of these sophisticated engines are paired
with your choice of a standard six-speed manual or an available six-speed automatic transmission with Driver Shift Control.
*Based on 2008 Model Year data and the latest published competitive information available at time of printing. Excludes other GM vehicles.
For outstanding engine protection even in severe conditions, both CTS
engines are factory-filled with Mobil1® featuring SuperSyn TechnologyTM.
The 2008 CTS’s agile handling and excellent performance were
inspired in part by Cadillac’s successful CTS-V race car.
The 304 hp direct injection V6 features such a high
compression ratio – 11.4:1 – that the pistons are
dimpled to ensure adequate valve clearance.
In addition to Driver Shift Control, CTS’s precision-engineered 6-speed
automatic transmission includes such advanced features as grade
braking and Performance Algorithm Shifting, which automatically adjusts
shift patterns whenever it detects that spirited driving is underway.
Standard on both CTS engines Variable Valve Timing
(VVT) adjusts valve opening and closing times as engine
speeds change, helping to optimize efficiency.

IT CAN HANDLE IT
BALANCE
Prototype versions of the new CTS were exhaustively tested at Germany’s
legendary Nürburgring and on public roads in North America and China.
The 2008 CTS offers a choice of 3 suspension
tuning levels:
– The standard suspension offers a comfortable
ride and agile handling.
– The FE2 Sport Suspension emphasizes
handling responsiveness.
– The FE3 Performance Handling Suspension
offers the ultimate in agility and body control.
Responsiveness. Steering feel. Body control. High-speed stability. These are the things that great handling is made of. How do you
achieve them? First, engineer a solid body structure. Then select premium chassis components, like a short/long arm front suspension,
a multi-link rear suspension, StabiliTrakTM and Michelin Pilot and Pilot Sport tires. Then the real work begins, testing and tuning and
retesting and retuning on roads and racetracks around the world. If your engineers are extremely skilful – as the Cadillac team assuredly
is – the result is a car that meets the highest driving standards in the world. A car, in fact, like the new CTS. When you drive it, you get it.

When traction is compromised, CTS’s AWD transfer case adjusts torque distribution
within a fraction of a second to help make the most of the available power.

ALL-WHEEL DRIVE
With most cars, engine power is sent to just two wheels. Unless you happen to lose traction, that is, in which case all the
power goes to just a single wheel – the one without any grip. The 2008 CTS offers a better solution. With the available
All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) system – the first ever on a CTS – engine torque is divided 25/75 between the front and rear wheels under
normal driving conditions. And when grip is in short supply, CTS’s AWD alters the division of power as necessary to send the most
torque to the wheels with the best traction. The result is a feeling akin to riding on rails. Winter will never know what hit it.

ENGINEERED FOR EVASIVE ACTION
AVOIDANCE
ABOVE: Equipped with an intercooled supercharger forcing air into the
cylinders under 12 psi of pressure, STS-V’’s hand-built engine generates an
awe-inspiring 469 horsepower and 439 pounds-feet of torque.
WITH STABILITRAK
WITHOUT STABILITRAK
BELOW: A key element in STS-V ’s excellent performance is Cadillac’s 6-speed
automatic transmission. In Sport mode, its Driver Shift Control feature allows
clutchless manual shifting through all 6 gears.
StabiliTrak constantly monitors for lateral skids, then
adjusts individual brake pressure automatically, to
help restore steering control.
BELOW: The STS-V chassis is completely revised for razor-sharp handling. Key
elements include a ZF performance steering gear, Sachs monotube shocks,
higher-rate springs, larger stabilizer bars and a high-capacity steering cooler.
Because there’s no such thing as a good collision, the new CTS has been carefully designed to help you keep out of harm’s way. Great visibility and
ergonomically positioned controls are part of the story, as are responsive handling and the stopping power of four-wheel disc brakes with ABS.
Every CTS also comes with a StabiliTrak electronic stability control system that can help correct most lateral skids before you even know they’ve
started. There’s even a standard tire pressure monitoring system that can alert you via the Driver Information Centre if one of your tires is low on air.
The available adaptive lighting system helps you
see around corners by steering the headlights in the
direction you turn the wheel.

CADILLAC OWNER PRIVILEGES
By choosing to drive a new 2008 CTS, you automatically enter a world of elite owner privileges, thanks to a host
of programs that will enhance your safety and convenience and reduce your overall cost of ownership. For the first
4 years or 80,000 km of ownership*, Cadillac No-Charge Scheduled Maintenance will cover all regularly scheduled
maintenance required by your CTS. During the same period, the Cadillac Limited Warranty will cover all parts and
labour costs* that may be incurred to correct defects in material or workmanship. You are also covered by GM’s
Powertrain Limited Warranty, which is in effect for the first 5 years or 160,000 km of ownership.** While the
Powertrain Limited Warranty is in effect, you enjoy the support of Cadillac Roadside Service* throughout Canada
and the United States should you require towing, fuel delivery, a jump start or help with a flat tire or lock-out
situation. In addition, Alternative Transportation* provides you with shuttle transportation for daily service and an
alternate car (or reimbursement for rental or other transportation expenses) for overnight service, whenever your
CTS requires scheduled maintenance or repairs covered under the Cadillac Limited Warranty. Other Cadillac owner
privileges include Trip Planning* assistance and Trip Interruption Protection,* and you may be reimbursed by
General Motors of Canada for reasonable hotel, meal and alternative transportation expenses incurred should your
trip be interrupted by a repair covered under the Cadillac Limited Warranty. See your Cadillac dealer for complete
details on all Cadillac Owner Privileges.
VIGILANCE THAT NEVER QUITS
PROTECTION
In the event of a collision, as in every other situation, the 2008 CTS is designed to perform to the highest standards. Front and rear crush
zones, safety cage construction and a strategic use of high-strength steel in the body structure all help to keep dangerous energy away from
the passenger compartment. CTS also features six standard air bags, along with front-seat safety belt pre-tensioners that pull the belts
snug the instant a crash is detected, for improved protection. Your CTS will even continue looking after you when the collision is over.
If the air bags have deployed, a message is automatically sent to OnStar® personnel* who can dispatch emergency services as required.
*Program in effect for the first 4 years or 80,000 km (whichever comes first) of ownership. Conditions and limitations apply.
**Whichever comes first, conditions and limitations apply.

1 – ChromaFlair® uses advanced light-interference technology and prismatic metallic pigments to create an intense, deeply lustrous colour.
2 – Tintcoat is a premium two-layer paint application with the addition of a tinted clearcoat, lending the finish an extra depth and brightness.
3 – Tricoat is a meticulous three-layer process that results in a dramatic hue-shifting colour reminiscent of a show-car finish.
