Cadillac ATS [Official] 2016 Cadillac ATS-V Coupe leaks out early

[JHF]

Debuts in Los Angeles
The 2016 Cadillac ATS-V Coupe has leaked to the web, following yesterday's teaser video.

Looking decidedly more aggressive than the standard model, the coupe has a new front fascia with a carbon fiber splitter, a mesh grille and a larger lower intake. The car also has a ventilated hood, revised side skirts and lightweight alloy wheels that are backed up by a high-performance braking system. Moving further back, there's a prominent rear spoiler and a four-tailpipe sports exhaust system.

The interior largely carries over but there's carbon fiber trim, special sill plates and revised steering wheel with paddle shifters and V-Series badging.

Power will reportedly be provided by a twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6 engine that produces 450 bhp (335 kW). It can be paired to a six-speed manual or an optional eight-speed automatic transmission.

The Cadillac ATS-V Coupe will be unveiled on at the Los Angeles Auto Show on November 18th, so stay tuned for full details.

I like it, I like it, I like it!

Looks actually pretty good to me. Looking forward how it does against the M4.

 

[hoffmeister_fan]

this looks really good, the specs look promising.

The front is hard to look at....disproportional.

Kudos to Cadillac for realizing the market for a smaller vehicle by creating the ATS family.

 

[tristatez28lt1]

Should be a worthy competitor to the M4. Good weight, good power (should be just a tiny bit slower than the M4 in acceleration), manual, price, brakes, etc. The RCF is now completely outclassed and it's not even out.

 

[Zafiro]

The front is cool, the rear is hideous, the interior is so so but the performance should be good.

 

[Cashmere]

Glad to see that this one has proper door handles

 

[martinbo]

Blech. No thanks. Hideously gaudy inside and out.

 

[Rolf]

Not bad but nothing special either, it doesn't have enough change (same steering wheel and interior trim etc.) to make it a special product like the BMW M3/M4 and AMG C63. Got good power but I reckon it will be slower than M3/M4 and AMG C63.

 

[Zafiro]

Going to be very intresting to read European reviews compare to US reviews when this is being compare against M3/C63.

 

[Porsche Guy]

More competition is good. I hope it stomps them all and forces everyone to up their game.

 

[mini_cooper4]

I never liked the proportions of the ATS coupe and I don't like the looks of the V either.
I'd love to see the sedan tho. It should look way better.
This car will be a blast to drive no doubt.

 

[ThroughandThrough]

Maybe it's just me, but the exhaust note is white-bread.

 

[GTA45E]

It`s ok...
the front is a little bit overdone but still quite likeable. (most of our new hi-performance cars are like this anyway)

The performance should be very interesting.

 

[JHF]

+ video -

 

[GTA45E]

^Ooh, that's hot.
All these performance cars coming from Our country.
Like it or not, the Germans have some serious competition coming up. On paper, looks like this is the one to beat.

 

[Zafiro]

Best view and only view you want to see.

Avoid this view

Moving in the right direction. I get really good C63 Coupe vibes from this.
