2016 CADILLAC ATS-V EXPANDS ACCLAIMED PRODUCT LINE, ELEVATES
BRAND'S HIGH-PERFORMANCE V-SERIES WITH FIRST TWIN-TURBO ENTRY
The first-ever ATS-V – offered as a coupe and sedan – introduces class-leading twin-
turbocharged power and a comprehensive suite of design and performance systems, expanding
the ATS product line and advancing the V-Series legacy with its first turbocharged entry.
Since its inception in 2004, Cadillac's V-Series has driven remarkable power and performance
capability into the brand's growing luxury car range. Building on the strengths of the award-
winning ATS product line, the V-Series adds impressive track capability to what was already the
lightest and most agile-driving car in the luxury compact class. The result is a dual-purpose
luxury performer – a car with true track capability right from the factory that is also a
sophisticated luxury car on the road.
"Cadillac's V-Series is the best example of Cadillac's emerging product substance – and the
purest expression of the passion at the core of the brand," said Johan de Nysschen, Cadillac
President.
