In 2014 Cadillac expanded its ATS range with the new high-performance V-Series, which was firstly showcased at the LA Auto Show in both sedan and coupe body versions.
The exterior of the ATS-V Coupe comes with unique elements like a vented lightweight carbon fiber hood, larger grille openings, a front splitter, wider fenders to accommodate 18 x 9-inch front and 18 x 9.5-inch rear wheels as well as aero-optimized rocker moldings.

The sporty theme is carried inside, where you’ll find cut-and-sew elements, carbon fiber, a 5.7-inch three-window instrument panel cluster display as well as available 16-way Recaro performance seats.

The engine is a first for a Cadillac: it is a 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6, which offers 455 hp and 603 Nm (445 lb.-ft) of torque. The 2014 ATS-V Coupe can be mated either with a 6-speed manual gearbox or with an 8-speed automatic transmission with paddles behind the steering wheel. Performance wise, the model is keeping up with most of the competitors: the 0-96 kph (60 mph) sprint takes 3.9 seconds and the top speed reaches 297 kph (185 mph).

The new ATS-V Coupe also comes for the first time with a turbocharged engine, for which you get Brembo high-performance brakes, Magnetic Ride Control, a 25 percent structural stiffness increase, a revised multi-link front suspension, a ZF Steering Systems Servotronic II variable-ratio electric steering, a standard limited-slip differential and more.
