We took the power and performance of racing and tailored it to the road. The result is the 2016 ATS-V Performance Sedan. With innovative features, an attention-grabbing exterior and a powerful 3.6L Twin Turbo engine, everyday driving just got more exhilarating
DIRECT INJECTED ADRENALINE
V is in every strand of our DNA – strands that fuse a proven motorsport pedigree with pure engineering propensity. A perfect balance of the track-certified prowess and street-smart refinement. The proof, a razor-edged litmus test of the world’s most notoriously punishing tracks – just for starters. We then tuned it and released it to the civility of the street.
The heart of Cadillac ATS-V 2016 is the 3.6L 464 hp Twin Turbo engine producing 603 Nm of class-leading torque. High-strength, light-weight titanium connecting rods, low-inertia titanium-aluminide turbine wheels with optimized compressors and a patented low-volume, charge-air cooler create near immediate torque response and dramatically reduce get-up-and-gone-times.
Breech the atmosphere of high performance in a mere 3.8 seconds. Combine the more than two dozen patents held on our powerful eight-speed automatic transmission with lightning-fast shifts and time decisively does fly.
The patented paddle-shift eight-speed automatic transmission provides incredibly fast shift times and a shorter first-gear ratio for improved off-the-line acceleration.
The class-exclusive V-tuned, temperature adapting Magnetic Ride Control suspension reads and reacts to the road up to 1,000 times per second — providing the precise amount of control for maximum performance and the smoothest ride in all conditions..
Limited slip is only as effective as the gearing. Electronically controlled torque management and an integrated clutch-pack provide nstantaneous traction with increased torque bias ratio to where it is needed, ensuring that every Nm of torque is at your disposal.
This is where the line becomes blurred between its turbocharged genesis and athletically stoic street presence. Every design element serves a deliberate, functional and aesthetic purpose. Innovations in everything from aerodynamics to materials result in an intimidating sum of its parts, both on the street and at the starting line.
