DRIVING MACHINE FOR THE DRIVEN
STS
Ah, the perks that come with achievement. The corner office. A fine Swiss watch. And,
perhaps the most rewarding of them all, a great car. One that blends avant-garde style,
world-class performance, intelligent luxury and – let’s be straightforward here – more than
a little prestige. The 2008 STS is all that and more. With a bolder style, more standard power,
more technology and more refinement than ever before, STS is both a remarkable car and
an unmistakable symbol of accomplishment. STS. Because success deserves a celebration.

FLAGSHIP

EXTERIOR
The STS cockpit delights the eye with bold, powerful shapes and a clean, elegant overall
design. It pleases the ear with a near-absence of road and wind noise, accented by the song
of the potent, yet highly refined engine. Your sense of touch is rewarded, with finely textured
surfaces and well-placed controls that operate with a clear logic and a satisfying, positive
feel. The end result is a highly rewarding environment dedicated to the enjoyment of driving.

INNER BEAUTY
AMENITIES
STS’s elegant interior is characterized by sweeping lines, expert craftsmanship, a tasteful and harmonious colour palette
with materials of exceptional quality, including premium Milan carpeting. The result is a stylish, spacious and comprehensively
equipped driving environment in which no detail has gone unconsidered. For example, the STS driver’s seat is as well-suited
to spirited driving on twisting two-lane roads as it is to long-distance highway cruising. The added luxury of internally
heated and ventilated front seats is also available, as are seats fully trimmed in specially selected glove-soft Tuscany leather.
The available Bose® 5.1 Studio Surround® sound system
uses six separate audio channels and a total of 15 speakers
delivering a true 360-degree listening experience. The result
is sound quality of uncanny depth, accuracy and separation.
STS’s available DVD navigation system can assist you in finding
your way in unfamiliar territory.* Key features include a large,
high-resolution VGA display, touch-panel control and a fourposition tilt screen for easy viewing.
*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.
Now with 120 channels to enjoy, XM Satellite RadioTM has revolutionized mobile entertainment as we know it. XM
has the largest playlist on the planet, with musical genres that span everything from decades to dance, rock to
rap and country to classical. XM also broadcasts the most commercial-free music in digital quality sound, along
with news, talk, comedy and sports channels – including more than 1000 NHL games – all available from
coast to coast. XM Satellite Radio is standard in every 2008 STS.** Ask your sales consultant for more information.
**Includes three trial months beyond which service fees apply. Available in 10 Canadian provinces and 48 contiguous United States.

The available Adaptive Cruise Control system uses a sophisticated longrange radar sensor mounted behind the wreath and crest logo on STS’s
grille to measure the distance and relative speed of vehicles ahead.
The available HUD instrumentation organizes and emphasizes data clearly
and intuitively via a four-colour display. The system also allows you to
adjust the positioning of the display, to ensure your personal comfort.
Take the remote access fob out of your pocket or purse, press
a button and your STS’s engine will start from up to 60 metres
away. Or leave it where it is. Your STS’s doors and trunk will
unlock automatically when you grasp the door handle.
Consider, if you will, three examples of Cadillac’s campaign to advance the state of the automobile. First, the available Adaptive
Cruise Control (ACC) system, which detects slower-moving vehicles ahead, then provides limited braking to maintain a pre-set
following distance. Second, the reconfigurable Head-Up Display (HUD), which is included with the available Driver Awareness
Package. It projects key information onto the inner surface of the windshield, so you can view it without taking your eyes off the
road. Third is STS’s remote starting system, which can start the engine and the climate control system from up to 60 metres away.
These cutting-edge technologies, and many others like them, help STS achieve exceptional levels of comfort, convenience and safety.

WHERE POWER AND PRECISION INTERSECT
POTENT
The new STS V6 engine represents Cadillac’s first-ever use of
direct injection in a production gasoline engine. The benefits of
this advanced technology include increases in both power and
fuel efficiency along with improved emissions performance.
Among the Northstar V8’s many high-tech features is an
extremely powerful, state-of-the-art Engine Control
Module (ECM). It includes a 16-bit, 24 MHz dual microprocessor, high memory capacity and a redundant
safety processor that acts as a backup for the electronic
throttle control. A separate transmission control module
manages gear changes, with inputs from the ECM.
S. EWEN PHOTO
FOR PEDAL ADJUST
TO COME
To assure the highest possible level of quality, the 6-speed automatic transmissions
destined for STS are hand assembled in a “clean room” environment.
All STS’s feature a standard 6-speed automatic transmission
with Driver Shift Control which offers the precision of a manual
gearbox without sacrificing the convenience of an automatic.
With the transmission in Sport mode, you can shift up or down
a gear instantaneously, with just a nudge of the shift lever.
For 2008, STS V6 models are powered by a new direct injection 3.6-litre DOHC V6 VVT engine – one of the industry’s most
advanced technologies. The results are impressive, to say the least: 302 horsepower and 272 pounds-feet of torque, along
with improved fuel efficiency compared with the previous STS V6. For an even higher level of exhilaration, V8 models feature
a second-generation 4.6-litre VVT Northstar under the hood tuned to produce 320 horsepower and 315 pounds-feet of torque.
Both engines are teamed with an electronically controlled six-speed automatic transmission with a host of leading-edge
features, including Sport mode, Driver Shift Control, engine braking in all forward gears and Performance Algorithm Liftfoot (PAL).

PERFORMANCE FOR THE REAL WORLD
TECHNOLOGY
In the real world, road surfaces are less than perfect and traction is frequently compromised. STS compensates with advanced
technologies that smooth your ride and increase your control. Take the available performance-oriented All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) system,
for example. With normal traction, carving through “s” curves with all four wheels powering you forward, it delivers
a sensation akin to being on rails. The AWD system’s benefits are even greater in low-traction situations, of course, as it automatically
redistributes power to help you maintain momentum and control. Also available is a sophisticated Magnetic Ride Control® suspension
system, which reads road and driving conditions and reacts by adjusting shock absorber damping up to 1000 times per second.
MAGNETIC RIDE CONTROL
The available Magnetic Ride Control suspension
features shock absorbers filled with metal particles
and a special fluid that stiffens automatically when
exposed to a magnetic field.

SEE AND BE SEEN
VISIONARY
In STS, high-tech systems help assure your complete awareness of traffic and hazards nearby. Ultrasonic rear parking assist alerts
you to objects behind the car when the transmission is in “Reverse”. Fog lights and projector-beam headlights are standard
equipment. Xenon High-Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights are also available, as is an IntelliBeam ™ system that
automatically switches between high and low beams, when appropriate, during night driving. New for 2008 is an available Lane
Departure Warning system that alerts you if you stray out of your chosen lane on the highway. Also new this year is available Side
Blind Zone Alert, which illuminates an indicator in the side mirror whenever another vehicle enters your “blind spot”.
With OnStar ® and one year of the Directions
& Connections Plan including Turn-by-Turn
Navigation,* STS links you directly to the
world’s most comprehensive in-vehicle security,
communications and diagnostics system.**
*Turn-by-Turn availability impacted by some geographic/
cellular limitations, advisor-assisted routing available.
**OnStar services require vehicle electrical system
(including battery), wireless service and GPS satellite
signals to be available and operating for features to
function properly. OnStar acts as a link to existing
emergency service providers. OnStar Hands-Free Calling
requires a Hands-Free enabled vehicle, prepaid minutes or
enrollment in a shared minutes plan and existing OnStar
service contract. Subscription Service Agreement required.
STS’s available Lane Departure Warning
system features a camera, mounted in the
rearview mirror, which reads the lines on the
road. Should your STS start to stray, the system
will alert you via visible and audible cues.

LUXURY TO THE MAX
PLATINUM
For those who insist on the highest possible level of luxury, Cadillac introduces the new-for-2008 STS Platinum Edition. Available
on both V6 and V8 models, the Platinum Edition is instantly recognizable by its exclusive grille treatment, chrome-finished 18-inch
wheels and chrome exterior door handles. Inside, the cabin features numerous luxurious appointments: leather-wrapped interior,
Tuscany full leather seats, and genuine Olive Ash burlwood accents on the doors, console and instrument panel. For an added
thoughtful touch, both the steering wheel and the transmission shifter are heated, for an extra measure of comfort in cold weather.

PERFORMANCE TO THE POWER OF V
STS-V
Germany’s legendary Nürburgring has 177 curves and no two are
alike. It was here that Cadillac’s engineers tested and perfected
STS-V ’s acceleration, handling and braking characteristics.
Part of Cadillac’s awesome V-Series, STS-V will forever change your idea of what a luxury sedan can be. STS-V combines the refinement and sophistication
of STS with some of the most serious performance hardware available. The highlights include an intercooled supercharged Northstar V8 engine with
469 horsepower, more horsepower than any production Cadillac has ever had, a six-speed automatic transmission with Driver Shift Control, massive
Brembo® brakes, a high-performance-tuned suspension and a four-mode StabiliTrak system that allows a higher level of driver control. Created for drivers
who believe performance is the ultimate luxury, STS-V delivers an unmatched driving experience. STS-V. You’ve never seen a Cadillac like this before.

THE EXTREME STS
EXCLUSIVE
ABOVE: Equipped with an intercooled roots-type supercharger which forces air
into the cylinders with up to 12 psi of boost, STS-V ’s hand-assembled engine
generates an awe-inspiring 469 horsepower and 439 pounds-feet of torque.
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.
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.
For a car of its performance potential, STS-V is astoundingly refined and luxurious. Virtually every amenity imaginable is present
and accounted for. Hand-wrapped leather seating surfaces abound. Black Olive Ash burlwood and kinetic-finished aluminum
trim elements dress up the decor. Sueded fabric inserts on the seat cushions and lower seatbacks help to keep you firmly
planted, even during enthusiastic driving. If you wish, you can add the drama of Tango Red accents on the seat inserts,
doors, instrument panel and centre armrest. They’re the perfect way to emphasize your STS-V ’s high-performance character.
