The nordschleife ("nort-Ashley-fuh"), the 74-year-old Nurburgring track, The original of the "northern loop" is termed, and a strange place to find a Cadillac. Nevertheless, this new development was a large part of the area where the CTS in ride and handling, a group of automotive Eifel Mountains, this extraordinary 12.9 miles and he is the author of the car in the lane we were able to see How is working,. Near Cologne.
As you know, the CTS, the Cadillac "art and Science" origami-style cars and trying to sell the camera here is the first of Opel replaces chromed. This time, GM part, BMW 528i serious like sport-luxo Sedan is targeting and if if you want to buy a car like BMW where you need to test the test is performed.
Ergo, the Nürburgring, the CTS and the Opel chassis Development Manager Michael harder, Director performance here Kenneth Morris, various camouflage prototypes of the CTS for the last three years at a time, sometimes over a period of six weeks and beyond are pushing. Both men are off-road excursions have organized he admits that, but this excellent is regarded as the normal chassis setting goals in pursuit of.
Morris, threw him 50 laps to this track and to be able to pass comfortably with the knowledge of what is beyond, you have to trust completely that he couldn't keep the straight sections, he says.
Morris, "there are corners of the vehicle at the entrance that allows it to fall, but the change makes me want to push him too much camber turn in the middle. We have to adjust the car to welcome him," says Morris.
The result is a robust, but non sudden a journey, to be a Caddy like no other, and without the hardness, which is resistant against holding on to the length of a Cadillac. As a bonus, the steering is linear and can be read at any speed car. All tuning at the Nürburgring and the experience of their position in this new stage the CTS pedal, the brake operation and influenced the design of the seat.
Of course, it will not hurt to start from the basics to sophisticated, and in this case, Sachs monotube gas shocks installed on every corner with front-unequal length control arms the rear arms, and front-roll bars.
Sport model, Nivomat self-compensating rear suspension system, StabiliTrak user intervention, variable-speed assisted steering 17 inch rims with tire rack and will have a valuable V Pro.
Paradoxically, the Cadillac engineers they used some advanced techniques to reconcile the demands of Transport and remediation. Rear suspension: rubber isolated subframe is mounted on a double-insulated with differential; front suspension and steering rack with engine cradle - tight structure for better feel and control we fucked. Uninsulated aluminum control arms in order to reduce the mass located on the front side, and the lower control arm bushing is used in conjunction with the hydraulic isolation to increase.
Naturally, the structure should be solid in order to tolerate the compromises hissed and isolation between the CTS and the GM unibody very high resistance to bending and twisting demands. Despite a tough life to lead our two prototypes (one for auto one for the road - one for the road), both mentioned a sense of structural solidity, of the means of production, that foreshadowed how hard it would be.
The only thing we decided to style. Series Cadillac CTS personnel are optimistic about the tile sharply folded, and about 34,000 in the month of January this $ seems sure to be a hit when it arrives priced as a 2003 model. It would be better. Since the appearance of this new enterprise wear for all future Cadillacs, the CTS is just a negative reaction it's not the end of the Sunday, maybe the end of the section.
