3. No detail overlooked. From its signature LED lighting to its ingenious, lightweight
aluminum doors to its remarkably powerful engines, every gram of material in the
CTS had to justify its existence. Created in turn is a beautifully crafted vehicle that
stands out among the world’s finest on the road.

Less is more powerful. As the lightest Rear-Wheel-Drive car in its class, CTS is
240 pounds lighter than the previous-generation CTS. To validate its credentials,
we pushed CTS to its limit on Germany’s famed Nürburgring track. Then we brought
it back home to fine-tune its dynamic ride. The outcome of such a tough regimen?
Impressive acceleration, precise handling and brake feel worthy of a title.

Engineers achieved near-perfect 50/50 front-to-rear weight distribution through the
innovative use of aluminum in the front shock towers and front suspension. Likewise,
aluminum alloy door structures save approximately 33% in weight versus steel door
structures. And it all comes together to provide enhanced drive dynamics, handling
and quietness.
