2015 Cadillac ATS-V (spy photo)
Cadillac is lacing up its boxing gloves for the upcoming auto-show season as it prepares to deliver a a single-2 punch with new V-series functionality vehicles. The 2015 Cadillac ATS-V, America’s 1st 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. Each vehicles will go on sale in 2015.
Our spy photographers have currently snapped a preview of what to expect with the ATS-V, but the official reveal will expose the complete extent of the modifications inside and out, as nicely as under the hood and at the 4 corners. We do know the V-series ATS will supply a huge injection of thrust to an already-outstanding chassis. A twin-turbo 3.6-liter V-6—the very same engine that is used 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 still not clear whether a manual transmission will be on the menu because the present do-it-oneself ATS box only has the torque capacity to handle the output of the car’s 4-cylinder turbo.

A single 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 existing 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 group had the benefit of beginning with a 10Best–winning auto. When the CTS-V debuts in January at the 2015 Detroit auto show, we’ll locate a variant of the LT4 supercharged V-8 below the hood. That engine tends to make 650 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque in the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06. We anticipate that the CTS-V may well have a slightly reduce output, but we nonetheless anticipate roughly 600 horsepower from the king Cadillac. As with the ATS, an 8-speed automatic is guaranteed. In this larger, more luxurious car, nevertheless, a 6-speed manual gearbox seems significantly less likely, although the versatile Tremec manual box would match. Spy pictures suggest that the CTS-V will adopt a vertical grille and a raised trunk lid along with the requisite beefy wheels and tires.
