Cadillac ATS-V Revealed

by Derek Kreindler

Published: November 11th, 2014

3.6L twin-turbo V6. 450 horsepower. 6-speed manual. What more do you need to know?

With only 3600 lbs to move, the ATS-V is slightly heavier than the BMW M4, but packs more horses and more torque (445 lb-ft versus 406 for the Bimmer). A 6-speed manual is available, and presumably, the 8-speed automatic will be an option as well. Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires and a locking diff are also standard. It also has titanium connecting rods, just like an Acura NSX.

Locking diff? As in, those Eaton automatic locking diffs they use on trucks? Strange choice for a sporty car, but certainly preferable to a simulated limited-slip.

The blurb doesn't say if it's front wheel drive or rear wheel drive. If it's RWD, it might be a hoot to drive, sort of like a cushy, overpriced Camaro. Something about this screams "Holden", but I'm not sure what. It's more like a 21st century Firebird with an origami hood and grille, with the rest of it copied and pasted from a 2012 Honda Civic.

MaintenanceCosts Poorly packaged, oddly proportioned small CUV with an unrefined hybrid powertrain and a luxury-market price? Who wouldn't want it?
MaintenanceCosts Who knows whether it rides or handles acceptably or whether it chews up a set of tires in 5000 miles, but we definitely know it has a "mature stance."Sounds like JUST the kind of previous owner you'd want…
28-Cars-Later Nissan will be very fortunate to not be in the Japanese equivalent of Chapter 11 reorganization over the next 36 months, "getting rolling" is a luxury (also, I see what you did there).
MaintenanceCosts RAM! RAM! RAM! ...... the child in the crosswalk that you can't see over the hood of this factory-lifted beast.
3-On-The-Tree Yes all the Older Land Cruiser’s and samurai’s have gone up here as well. I’ve taken both vehicle ps on some pretty rough roads exploring old mine shafts etc. I bought mine right before I deployed back in 08 and got it for $4000 and also bought another that is non running for parts, got a complete engine, drive train. The mice love it unfortunately.
