Spy photographers have spotted something interesting.
Cadillac engineers have taken to public streets with the upcoming
ATS-V and a playmate: the current
BMW M3 Sedan. The prototype seen here wears a more aggressive front fascia, flared fenders and beefy
brakes. Quad exhaust tips and what looks to be a small lip spoiler on the trunk deck sum up the most obvious visual changes over the standard
ATS outside. Word has it the
ATS-V will bow with the same twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6 available in the nose of the
XTS. In that application, the engine is good for a stout 410 horsepower, which should be more than enough to hustle the sedan around a track.
Other details are still murky, however. First and foremost: will GM offer the ATS-V with an honest manual transmission, like it does with its big brother, the CTS-V? Something tells us we won't have long to wait to find out – the machine will likely bow next year as a 2015 model. Until then, dig in on our newest bevy of spy photos.
