The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has issued a recall of 12,662 MY2009 Cadillac CTS vehicles due to a software problem within the passenger-airbag sensing system. The electronic glitch may lead to the disablement of the front passenger air bag when it should be enabled or vice-versa. GM's dealers will reprogram 2009 CTS' passenger sensing system module free of charge with the recall expected to begin on or about November 18, 2008.

Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon: New Photo Gallery

GM has released a new image gallery of its 2010 Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon containing material from a shootout in Paris that provides us with some neat photos of the stylish estate in the picturesque capital of France. Furthermore, the company also published a few more detailed shots of the upscale station-wagon that is due to go on sale on both sides of the Atlantic in spring 2009. Like the CTS sedan, the Sport Wagon will be offered with a base 263HP 3.6-liter V6 and a 304 Hp 3.6-liter direct injection V6 matched with either a six-speed manual or an electronically controlled six-speed automatic. European consumers will also be able to opt for a diesel variant equipped with GM's 250HP 2.9-liter V6 turbo-diesel engine.

2010 Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon Picture/Info Leak?

We already knew that Cadillac was planning a sporty station-wagon version of the new CTS; we just didn’t know how it would look like. This screen picture that was forwarded to our friends over at Jalopnik allegedly comes from a Harris Opinion Survey about the upcoming CTS Sport Wagon. While we can’t be 100% sure, it does look like it’s the real thing.
Judging from the scans, the CTS Sport Wagon that will compete against the BMW 3-Series Touring and the Audi A4 Avant, looks the part, especially in concern of the rear-end design with the cool back-hugging tail-lamps. Pictures aside, the poll also reveals significant details on the CTS Sport Wagon including the price range ($37,500 to $42,500), the initial engine line-up (260Hp 3.0-liter V6 & 304Hp 3.6-liter V6) and that an all-wheel drive version will be offered. -Continued

Video: Cadillac CTS-V’s Record Breaking 7:59.32 Nurburgring Lap

As we were promised last week when it was officially announced that the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V lapped the Nurburgring race track in 7:59.32 which could possibly be the fastest recorded time for a production sedan on factory-spec street tires, GM released the video featuring driver John Heinricy behind the wheel of the CTS-V as he completed the allegedly record lap of the legendary Nordschleife. Check out the video right after the jump. -Continued

2009 Cadillac CTS-V Laps the “Ring” in 7:59.32 – Fastest Production Sedan Ever?

During testing today at Germany’s Nurburgring race track, the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V managed to complete a lap of the Nordschleife in 7 minutes and 59.32 seconds. According to Cadillac, the sub-8 minute lap appears to be the fastest ever publicly recorded for a production version sedan.
The 2009 CTS-V, which is undergoing the final stages of testing and development is equipped with GM’s new 6.2-litre Supercharged V8 engine that develops an estimated 550Hp. That’s the same unit found in the also new Corvette ZR1 (see here). Only difference is that in the much lighter Vette, the supercharged V8 generates an awesome 638Hp. Makes you wonder how fast the ZR1 can lap the “Ring”… -More pics after the jump

2010 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe Renderings

Though not officially confirmed, a top-of-the-line “V” model of Cadillac’s upcoming CTS Coupe (based on the Detroit Show concept) is probably in the works as there’s no better way of promoting a car like this than creating a “halo” version. As these photo illustrations created by Nick Wilcox for Insideline suggest, apart from receiving GM’s supercharged 550Hp 6.2-liter V8 engine, Cadillac’s answer to the BMW M3 will also feature an aggressive bodykit to help it stand out from the standard versions.

2010 Cadillac CTS Station Wagon Caught in the Open

The development of Cadillac’s second-ever official station wagon -the first one is the Saab 9-3 based, Euro only, BLS Wagon, is well underway as these spy pictures prove. Expected to be unveiled as early as this year’s Paris Motor Show in September, the CTS SW (we don’t know the official name yet), will be powered by the same engines found in the saloon -with the exception of the CTS-V’s 550Hp V8.
Production of the CTS SW will start in the US in the first half of 2009 at GM’s Michigan plant. Following in the footsteps of its German adversaries, Cadillac is also developing a coupe version of the CTS based on the prototype that premiered at the Detroit Show in January (see here). Head over to our friends at Jalopnik for more images of the CTS Station Wagon.
