Cadillac ATS-V: brute from the United States

The American car manufacturers start to understand that they need to improve the quality of their cars to boost their sales in Europe. They're working on this and slowly but surely the quality of Cadillacs increases. The Americans are also catching up on the field of sporty performance. The Cadillac ATS-V is ready to compete with the European sport sedans.

In the spring of 2015 you can find the ATS-V at the local dealerships. Cadillac choose for a compact 3.6 liter V6 biturbo in the front. Not a big V8 because that engine only creates understeering. With a power of 455 hp and 603 Nm of torque, this is the most powerful six cylinder engine in this segment. Customers are not restricted in the performance of the car. The sprint from zero to 100 kph takes 4.1 seconds and the top speed is 295 kph. Customers can choose between a six speed manual gearbox without launch control or an eight speed automatic gearbox.

This is the most lightweight and smallest V Series ever. According to Cadillac this also is the best V Series ever. No other car offers so much interaction as this model does. The ATS-V is fitted with the third generation of Magnetic Ride Control and Performance Traction Management. Next to that, you can set five different modes to adjust the character of the car and turn traction control on or off.

The car looks amazing with its wider bodywork. When the price of this model is close to the price of a BMW M3 or Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG, this could be a perfect alternative. We're looking forward to try this model ourselves!
