Spare parts for your car
Cadillac cars represent one of the most famous American car makers. They are among the world’s oldest cars. These vehicles belong to the premium segment. They are manufactured by the General Motors company. Cadillac cars are popular in more than 50 countries. Many times they have won the “Motor Trend of the Year” contest held by the American car magazine “Motor Trend”.
Technical specifications of Cadillac cars
Many of the technologies the Cadillac cars were equipped with at different years, were used in car manufacturing for the first time. Among them was the electric starter, which was installed on the Model 30 in 1912 and is still considered one of the most important inventions in the car industry; the world’s first V8 engine, which debuted on the 51 model; and the electric lighting system, which was presented on the same Model 30 in 1915 and was unprecedented.
Modern Cadillac models also demonstrate the company’s strive to implement innovations. One of interesting technologies of this kind is Surround Vision, which consists in transmitting the image from cameras to the multimedia system’s screen, making it possible for the driver to look at his vehicle from different angles, including from above. The image from the rear view camera is displayed right on the interior mirror, which allows to increase the observability by 300%. The CT6 saloons, XT5 crossovers and other models are equipped with this technology.
The Magnetic Ride Control system is not less remarkable. It involves shock absorbers filled with magnetorheological fluid; their stiffness is adjusted in accordance with the driving conditions. The system acquires the road condition data with the frequency of up to 1,000 times per second. It is implemented in the Escalade SUVs.
About 62% of spare parts for some Cadillac models are made of aluminium. This allows to achieve the maximum possible weight reduction of vehicles. Totally, 12 patents have been registered by the company to implement this design, which, in particular, is used in the CT6 saloon.
The manufacturer has also achieved a lot in terms of engine production. The V8 power unit installed on the Escalade SUVs, is one of the latest developments. It has the 6.2 litres displacement, develops 426 hp, and 621 N·m of torque. At the same time, the car consumes relatively small amount of fuel due to the variable valve timing and Active Fuel Management System: on the average,12.6 litres per 100 km.
