The 2016 edition of CTS features significant enhancements in performance, efficiency and connectivity. The CTS is lighter than its primary competitors, enabling the most agile driving dynamics in the class, and its range of power-dense powertrains underpins its performance. A roomy, driver- centric cockpit interior with integrated technology through Cadillac CUE and hand-crafted appointments complements the exterior and supports the CTS sedan’s driving experience. Eight interior environments are offered, each trimmed with authentic wood or carbon fiber. Leather seating is available, including available full semi-aniline leather, with hand-crafted, cut-and- sewn executions. An all-new 3.6L V-6 engine debuts in the 2016 CTS, ushering in new benchmarks for efficiency, refinement and durability. The second-generation, clean-sheet engine redesign incorporates new features, including Active Fuel Management (cylinder deactivation) and Stop/Start technology to enhance fuel economy. At an SAE-certified at 335 horsepower (250 kW), it’s also the most powerful naturally aspirated V-6 in the segment. A new Hydra-Matic 8L45 paddle-shift eight-speed automatic transmission is matched with the 3.6L V-6, elevating the driving experience with one of the luxury market’s smoothest, quietest and most efficient powertrain combinations. The Cadillac 2.0L Turbo returns in the CTS for 2016, adding the fuel-saving Stop/Start feature. It also is matched with the new 8L45 eight-speed automatic transmission. Also new for 2016 is an 18-inch polished wheel design and three premium exterior colors: Cocoa Bronze Metallic, Moonstone Metallic and Stellar Black Metallic. Inside, a Surround Vision 360 degree camera provides a “bird’s eye” view of the entire vehicle, Cadillac CUE is enhanced and includes phone integration capability – including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility (Android Auto to be offered later in the 2016 model year) – and several interior color/trim options enhance the ambience of the design. The 2016 CTS lineup is offered in well-equipped standard models, as well as Luxury, Performance and Premium Collections. The CTS and V-Sport models return unchanged for 2016. The V-Sport features the Cadillac Twin Turbo V-6 as its exclusive powertrain, helping the car achieve 60 mph in an estimated 4.4 seconds and an estimated top speed of 172 mph (277 kph). Cadillac also introduces the third-generation CTS-V for 2016. It introduces a new supercharged 6.2L V-8 engine SAE-certified at 640 horsepower (477 kW) and 630 lb-ft of torque (855 Nm). It’s backed by the Hydra-Matic 8L90 paddle-shift eight-speed automatic transmission featuring launch control and Performance Algorithm Shifting. See the separate CTS-V release for complete details. Cadillac CUE enhancements and phone integration technology Cadillac CUE has been revised to function more intuitively while providing connectivity and information on a high-resolution eight-inch touch screen. A new higher-speed processor for 2016 will deliver quicker responsiveness to all aspects of the car’s connectivity, information and entertainment features. Cadillac CUE also offers phone integration capability for 2016. Phone integration technology is designed to take phone features customers would want to access while driving and put them on the vehicle’s display in a smart, simple manner. The features allow customers to use select smartphone apps through the touchscreen interface. In fact, many features can be controlled via voice commands through a button on the steering wheel, helping drivers keep their eyes on the road and hands on the wheel. Apple CarPlay capability is offered at the beginning of the 2016 model year and Android Auto capability comes later in the model year. Apple CarPlay-supported apps include Phone, Messages, Maps, Music and third-party audio apps. A full list of those apps can be found at Apple.com/ios/carplay. Apple CarPlay is compatible with iOS 7.1 or higher. Android Auto is built around Google Maps, Google Now and the ability to talk to Google, as well as a growing audio and messaging app ecosystem that includes WhatsApp, Skype, Google Play Music, Spotify and podcast players. A full list of supported apps is available at g.co/androidauto. Android Auto requires a phone running an Android Lollipop 5.0 operating system or above. Using either application is simple. A “Projection” icon on the Cadillac CUE screen is visible when a phone is not connected, then changes to indicate CarPlay or Android Auto when a compatible phone is connected via USB. Compatible apps need to be downloaded to a phone before using. Apple and Google’s privacy statements and terms of use apply. Data plan rates may also apply. The heart of Cadillac CUE in the CTS is the eight-inch-diameter LCD multi-touch sensitive screen, integrated into the top of the central instrument panel and featuring a motorized, fully capacitive faceplate at the bottom concealing a 1.8L storage area. CUE’s vibrant LCD screen resembles a smartphone’s screen, with large, easy-to-target icons to execute commands. A navigation system is also available with the standard model and is standard with the Performance and Premium Collections and V-Sport models. CTS also includes Wireless Charging and OnStar 4G LTE connectivity with a Wi-Fi hotspot. It provides a mobile hub for drivers and passengers to stay connected. The hotspot comes with a three-month/three-gigabyte data trial. 4G LTE is the most current and fastest mobile data network – 10 times faster than 3G and 100 times faster than the previous generation of OnStar hardware. And with OnStar, it also offers stronger, broader coverage than smartphones on the same network and it’s easy to use: If the vehicle is on, the connection is on. The Cadillac Wireless Charging magnetic inductive charging system is a wireless phone charger that allows users to simply place their phone – if equipped with wireless charging technology or a capable back cover – on a small mat in the CTS, where it charges without the need to plug it in. Exterior features Linear elements, including an uninterrupted feature line that runs from the headlamps to the taillamps, emphasize the CTS’s long, lean proportion and contribute three-dimensional qualities to its surface. The sense of flow over the CTS sedan is furthered, too, with a “trapped” hood design – surrounded completely by sheet metal – that eliminates the forward cut lines between the grille and headlamps. Cadillac’s signature bold vertical lighting elements – including LED front signature lighting details – evolve with headlamps that flow up and with the hood line. The headlamp housings incorporate crystalline LED light guides in the upper and lower forward corners, bringing uniform white illumination without hot spots and serving as the daytime running lamps. Projector-beam halogen headlamps are standard and high-intensity discharge headlamps with Adaptive Forward Lighting are available. At the rear, first-, second- and third-order bezel elements within the taillamp housings offer a distinctive rear signature for the CTS when illuminated. LED lights within crystalline blade structures ensure a crisp, uniform appearance and the Cadillac script is etched in the upper illumination blade. Additional exterior features include: • New 18-inch polished wheel design is standard on Premium Collection • Cadillac’s upscale grille design and crest; Galvano chrome finish on base model grille and black chrome finish on V-Sport grille • Active aero grille shutters standard on base, Luxury and Performance Collections (not included with Driver Assist package or V-Sport) • Available illuminating door handles with Galvano polished aluminum finish • Rainsense automatic windshield wipers included with Driver Awareness package • Seamless Galvano aluminum trim around the side windows that reinforces CTS’s craftsmanship with the “line weighting” of an artist’s pencil – it’s thicker in some areas and thinner in others to emphasize different proportions • Chevron-shaped center high-mounted stop lamp is inset in the leading edge of the trunk lid for a more elegant, integrated appearance • Through-fascia trapezoidal exhaust ports are accented with chrome trim, In addition to the three new exterior colors offered for 2016 – Cocoa Bronze Metallic, Moonstone Metallic and Stellar Black Metallic – other choices are Phantom Grey Metallic, Red Obsession Tintcoat, Crystal White Tintcoat, Radiant Silver Metallic, Black Raven, Dark Adriatic Blue Metallic and Silver Coast Metallic. Interior highlights The spacious, driver-centric cockpit interior in the CTS Sedan combines technology and hand- crafted appointments to support the driving experience. It’s an intuitive and connected cabin, with asymmetrical features that focus the controls and displays on the driver – reinforced with authentic materials and refined amenities to give it character that is distinctive in the segment.

  • Lotus and Eaton's Electrohydraulic Closed-Loop Fully Variable Valve Train System
    J.W.G. Turner and S.A. Kenchington Lotus Engineering, Norwich, UK D.A. Stretch Eaton Automotive, Southfield, Michigan, USA Production AVT Development: Lotus and Eaton's Electrohydraulic Closed-Loop Fully Variable Valve Train System Entwicklung eines Serien-AVT-Systems: Lotus’ und Eatons elektrohydraulischer voll variabler Ventiltrieb (AVT) 1. Introduction Lotus and Eaton are collaborating to bring a production closed loop control Fully Variable Valve Timing system, known as Active Valve Train (AVT), to market in the 2008-9 timeframe. The system uses electrohydraulic operation, movement of the engine poppet valves being initiated by oil flow into and out of a hydraulic chamber which is controlled by fast acting electrohydraulic servo valves developed by the two companies. This in turn allows infinitely variable timing, duration and lift. The system, which is currently being engineered in prototype form for an OEM, will allow ready application of many advanced engine control strategies, such as throttleless operation, Controlled Auto Ignition (or Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition), fast start, variable firing order, differential cylinder loading and ultimately air hybridisation. However, to gain acceptance in the marketplace, the two partners understand that productionisation must not come at the expense of high Bill Of Materials cost, and in controlling that requirement, the performance of the system must not be allowed to suffer. This paper relates the present developmental status of the system from a valve control standpoint and describes some of the design features which have been adopted to fulfil the above requirements. An estimate of BOM costs for a typical light duty automotive application is also given.

This technique enhances volumetric efficiency and reduces throttling loss. However, practical implementation is restricted due to torque fluctuations between individual cylinders that cause noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) issues. To ease torque deviation of the CDA, we propose an in-cylinder pressure based 48V mild-hybrid starter-generator (MHSG) control strategy. The target engine realizes CDA with a specialized engine configuration of separated intake manifolds to independently control the airflow into the cylinders. To handle the complexity of the combined CDA and mild-hybrid system, GT-POWER simulation environment was integrated with a SI turbulent combustion model and 48V MHSG model with actual part specifications. The combustion model is essential for in-cylinder pressure-based control; thus, it is calibrated with actual Citation: Shin, H.; Jung, D.; Han, M.; engine experimental data.

  • 2.0L Turbo for Cadillac ATS Makes Best Engines List
    General Motors GM Communications Oshawa, Ontario of Canada Limited media.gm.ca For Immediate Release: Wednesday, Dec. 13, 2012 2.0L Turbo for Cadillac ATS Makes Best Engines List Four-cylinder recognized by WardsAuto World as industry leader DETROIT – The 2.0L turbo I-4 engine that powers the all-new Cadillac ATS is one of WardsAuto.com 2013 “10 Best Engines” for North America. The 2.0L turbo’s 272 horsepower is the highest specific output of any GM production engine, and at 136 hp per litre, is the most power-dense engine certified by the Society of Automotive Engineers. “The 2.0L turbo 4-cylinder is a stout performer that impressed all the WardsAuto editors,” said Tom Murphy, executive editor of WardsAuto.com. “It muscled its way back into the winners’ circle with remarkable horsepower per litre, and the engineers deserve kudos for reducing engine friction some 16 percent, which means it runs smoother and more efficiently.” Murphy added, “This engine gets four mpg better on the highway than the earlier version did a year ago in the Buick Regal GS, a former Ward’s 10 Best Engines honouree. That’s impressive. If the ATS can nibble into the market share of well-established German brands, the 2.0L turbo should get most of the credit.” ATS’s lightweight and aerodynamic design allows it to accelerate from 0-96 km/h in 5.9 seconds when equipped with the 2.0L turbo engine, while delivering fuel consumption rating of 9.9 L/100km City and 6.3 L/100km Highway.
