2009 Cadillac DTS NORTHSTAR HIGH PERFORMANCE DTS MODEL Description

Beautiful DTS Performance, this was the last year of the DTS Performance Model, featuring the Northstar High Performance engine, in the best color combination Black Raven with Black Leather and added chrome Cadillac grille. This DTS has every option and is in great shape, and ready to drive to any destination in style and class. Similar body style of the Presidents limousine.Great car and fun to drive with Magnetic Ride Control.
The 2009 Cadillac DTS Performance luxury sedan comes equipped with a Magnetic Ride Control sport suspension and self-adjusting shock absorbers, which do a good job of combating the floaty ride issues associated with the other '09 DTS trims. In addition, the DTS Performance features a tweaked version of the 4.6-liter Northstar V8 engine powering the other DTS trims. For the DTS Performance, the V8 pumps out 292 hp, a boost of 17 hp over the performance of the V8 in the other '09 DTS trims. On the downside, torque produced by the DTS Performance's tweaked V8 drops slightly when compared to the other DTS trims, from 295 lb-ft to 288 lb-ft. The additional horsepower becomes most noticeable at higher revs, while most drivers won't notice the slight loss in torque. The V8 engine mates to a four-speed Hydra-Matic transmission, which remains one of the DTS Performance's weak spots. Cadillac recommends premium-grade gasoline for the Northstar V8, which posts fuel economy numbers of 15/22 mpg. All-speed traction control, antilock brakes with brake assist, and the StabiliTrak electronic stability control system all come standard.Inside, the '09 DTS Performance comes well-equipped with such upscale standard features as Burl Walnut wood trim, Tuscany leather upholstery, heated and cooled front bucket seats, heated outboard rear seats, and a Bose Center point surround-sound audio system with a 6-CD changer, XM satellite radio, and an MP3 input jack. In addition, the front seats feature 8-way power adjustment. A Side Blind Alert system notifies drivers using visual cues if it detects a vehicle entering a blind spot, while an Ultrasonic Parking Assist system similarly alerts drivers if it detects objects behind the vehicle when backing up. Bluetooth, tri-zone climate control, a heated wood-and-leather steering wheel, and remote keyless entry are among the sedan's other standard features. Owners can use the sedan's OnStar system to access such services as turn-by-turn navigation, remote door unlock, and roadside assistance. A power sunroof and a DVD-based navigation system are among the sedan's options. The '09 DTS Performance rides on 18-inch chrome wheels with all-season tires.
