cts cadillac testing

By Rob

More mud.


What we testing here is more than just traction, although that is certainly important. We drive the car into and out of various mud and gravel pits at our Desert Proving Ground in Arizona. These are really severe “events.”


The key in this sort of testing is to ensure the many, many subsystems within the car can: 1.) survive and 2.) perform as intended.

In this test are you guys using the rear wheel drive, all wheel drive, or both?? Either way glad to know these cars are up to it!

Good to see you're enjoying your job Rob. Don't know if you remember me from the old Validation group at the Tech Center or not, but I've been retired for about 6 years now and am really enjoying life here in LA( Lower Alabama). I think it's great that you and Liz are sharing this stuff with the public at large, especially the younger people that the new Cadillacs are aimed for. Keep up the good work. Jim Beckham
