Uhm, All the Caddillac engines do it, Most of the cars w/ V8's from the big three have it as an option or standard, (Hemi's)
Its called Variable Displacement technology. They skip fuel injectors in a pattern to keep all the engine warm and not dry spin any cylinder.
Its how the Northstar engine works and manages to go in limp mode if it loses coolant and still drive 100 miles.
