the world’s first frontwheel drive Traction Control system for the Allanté
A passive restraint sytem was installed in every Cadillac
Anti-lock brake systems were available as either standard equipment or as an option on all Cadillac models
Cadillac’s 4.5-liter V-8 continued to be a Cadillac exclusive, available only in its fullsize, front-wheel drive models
The engine benefitted from sequential port fuel injection and a higher compression ratio
Horsepower was now 180 with no consequent reduction in fuel economy.
I. D. DATA
