The 2008 Cadillac CTS Luxury Sport Package includes 17 inch wheels and 161 mph speed rated tires, a sport-tuned suspension and high performance brake linings with speed sensitive steering. The 2008 and 04 Luxury Sport CTS also includes the StabiliTrak enhancement system which will automatically senses whether the vehicle is responding correctly to the driver’s commands during different maneuvers and speeds. If the StabiliTrak detects either an oversteer or an understeer it will instantly apply appropriate brake pressure and automatically bring the car back on track.

The new 2008 Cadillac CTS has a new rear drive chassis with a 4 wheel independent suspension system, near perfect 50 / 50 weight distribution, and precise rack and pinion steering.

Traction control is standard on the 2008 Cadillac CTS and will be on the 2008 model also. The traction control in a low traction condition will first apply the brakes and then the engine timing will be adjusted until the driver regains control. Moving from low friction to high friction surfaces the systems response is almost instantaneous.
