2015 Cadillac ATS-V (spy photo)
Cadillac is lacing up its boxing gloves for the upcoming auto-show season as it prepares to provide a one particular-2 punch with new V-series functionality automobiles. The 2015 Cadillac ATS-V, America’s first sincere shot at the BMW M3, will debut at the 2014 Los Angeles auto show, which kicks off on November 19. 2 months later, the 2016 Cadillac CTS-V will bow at the carmaker’s hometown auto show in Detroit. Both cars will go on sale in 2015.
Our spy photographers have already snapped a preview of what to anticipate with the ATS-V, but the official reveal will expose the complete extent of the modifications inside and out, as nicely as beneath the hood and at the 4 corners. We do know the V-series ATS will give a enormous injection of thrust to an already-outstanding chassis. A twin-turbo 3.6-liter V-6—the same engine that’s utilised in the CTS Vsport—should turn out about 420 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. An 8-speed automatic is a provided, but it’s nevertheless not clear regardless of whether a manual transmission will be on the menu due to the fact the existing do-it-yourself ATS box only has the torque capacity to deal with the output of the car’s 4-cylinder turbo.

One can only wonder how potent the ATS-V could be if Cadillac planners had stuck with their original powerplant choice—reportedly derailed by none other than former GM CEO Dan Akerson—the 505-hp 7.-liter LS7 V-8 from the current Camaro Z/28 and previous-gen Corvette Z06. Regardless, the V-ified V-6 ATS set to seem in Los Angeles will be a 4-door sedan, with the ATS-V coupe coming later.
Our hopes are equally higher for the CTS-V, as the functionality experts on the V team had the benefit of starting with a 10Best–winning automobile. When the CTS-V debuts in January at the 2015 Detroit auto show, we’ll find a variant of the LT4 supercharged V-8 below the hood. That engine makes 650 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque in the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06. We anticipate that the CTS-V may possibly have a slightly reduced output, but we nonetheless count on roughly 600 horsepower from the king Cadillac. As with the ATS, an 8-speed automatic is assured. In this bigger, far more luxurious car, however, a 6-speed manual gearbox seems significantly less most likely, even though the versatile Tremec manual box would fit. Spy pictures recommend that the CTS-V will adopt a vertical grille and a raised trunk lid along with the requisite beefy wheels and tires.
