Tight gaps between exterior body panels contribute to

STS’s quality appearance. They also enhance the body’s

aerodynamics, resulting in reduced wind noise.

STS’s 4-wheel disc braking system features ABS, vented

discs and aluminum twin piston front and single-piston

rear calipers. A performance braking system, featuring

larger-than-stock 323 mm (12.7 in.) vented front and

320 mm (12.6 in.) vented rear rotors, is available on both

STS V6 and STS V8 models. With the performance

braking system, STS is capable of braking from 96 km/h

(60 mph) to zero in just 4.2 seconds.

STS’s front and rear suspensions are mounted to

separate cradles to reduce noise, vibration and harshness

transmitted to the passenger compartment.

The available limited-slip rear differential helps make

the most of the available traction in all situations. It has

a significant positive effect on the car’s performance

during handling manoeuvres.

A reinforced centre tunnel further improves the vehicle’s

overall stiffness. Inner and outer steel elements

laminated into the tunnel structure reduce transfer of

driveline noise and vibration into the cabin.

All powertrain and suspension mounting points were

exhaustively tuned during STS’s development, to ensure

excellent performance and a high level of refinement.

Six mounts are used to attach the STS engine to the

body instead of the usual 4, for optimal management

of the engine’s drive loads and energy pulses.

STS V6 and STS V8 comes standard with power-assisted

variable-ratio aluminum rack-and-pinion steering.

This steering system gives STS a turning circle as low

as 11.3 m (37 ft.), depending on tire size. The race-

inspired ZF Servotronic II system enhances performance,

improves fuel economy and contributes to a quieter ride,

standard on STS-V and available on STS V6 and STS V8.

Aluminum is used extensively in both the front and rear

suspension systems to reduce unsprung weight. Ride and

handling characteristics benefit substantially.

STS sports a state-of-the-art electronic architecture.

The high-speed data bus responsible for such essential

systems as ABS, engine and transmission controls and

the Magnetic Ride Control suspension operates 50 times

faster than previous Cadillac systems.
