The new chassis package is meticulously engineered to improve path precision and increase corner speeds for the discerning driving enthusiast who craves on-track capability without compromising the luxury and refinement that define the Cadillac brand.
“For 20 years, V-Series has represented Cadillac’s commitment to performance, technology and craftsmanship, serving as the purest expression of the brand’s core values,” said John Roth, vice president, Global Cadillac. “We wanted to put an exclamation mark on this era of Cadillac excellence and offer enthusiasts the utmost in driving exhilaration.”
Key Precision Package features include:

- New front steering knuckles and rear suspension toe links which allow for more aggressive wheel alignment for track usage

These Precision Package enhancements will contribute to improved steering precision into the corner apex, increased stability on corner exit and more road feel for spirited driving situations.
