Cadillac cts 2008 drivers's log General Motors nuerburgring testing gm

No, that’s not how we make posts for the blog. And, yes, we did let him out of the trunk before we started driving! Actually, this is one of our top engineers gearing the car up with test equipment.


We constantly take readings at Nuerburgring. In fact, we frequently have a passenger in the car monitoring a laptop. And, well, it takes as special talent to use a laptop while riding in a car speeding around Nuerburgring without getting sick.


We measure a lot of different aspects, but I’d say that -- given the extreme speeds and conditions -- powertrain, cooling and similar durability issues are among the most important things we measure here.

Hmmm, is that a BMW M5 I see in the background? I sure hope so. The next CTS-V better show the Germans who's boss!


Does the trunk engineer come standard or is he an option?
