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.

Key Precision Package features include:

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