Cadillac ATS-V attacks the new C Class AMG, BMW M3 / M4 and Audi RS4!

Cadillac cannot live with the thought that the Germans are dominating the performance class sedan segment and thus, after long months of tests they presented the new "Cady" ATS-V in Los Angeles

We must give credit to tech specs! We have a 3.6 liters engine, 455 hp capable of delivering 600 Nm of torque, which allows the car to accelerate up to 96 km/h in 3.9 seconds! Not bad if you compare it to its rivals that can claim almost identical performance! However, in terms of max speed, Americans managed to surprise us - 297km/h!

To cope with a herd of horses under the hood, the sedan receives a revised chassis compared to the standard version and a wider track. 18-inch wheels will complete the aggressive look of the car but also will improve road grip. Cadillac also offers a system called Performance Data Recorder, which allows the driver to record the car's performance on the circuit, the Germans have a similar system on the M4 and M3 called the M Performance package.

Inside, passengers get Recaro seats, carbon inserts, and leather upholstery. On the exterior, the designers chose to radically change the looks of the car but only to add small touches that would give it more aggressiveness. So they have added massive ventilation vents, a "ragged" hood, a spoiler on the trunk lid (tailgate in the Coup), and a squadron of four exhaust pipes.

It remains to find out the prices but rumors say they will be at least 10% lower than competitors.
